Quku i Valbonës

Deserves all the stars. Best stay ever. Beautiful location, clean room with its own balcony and bathroom, a comfortable bed, beautiful quiet and breathtaking scenery, amazing staff with owner and his kids who are just so charming and otherworldly, and amazing breakfast spread! Situated in a quaint village with cows and horses wandering around, it is simply magical. This place meets the definition of perfection. Couldn’t recommend more and we will be back. Love love love this place!

A real gem of a place that exceeded expectations with its stunning mountain view’s and cosy atmosphere. Clean rooms and large communal spaces made for a comfortable stay, while the hostel's proximity to the mountains added to its charm. Skender and his family were incredibly hospitable and made the stay all the more enjoyable. I personally can't thank Skender enough for his exceptional service! Not only was my stay enjoyable, but his kindness in finding and posting my lost fleece (left in the back of a taxi) to England showcased genuine hospitality. A hostel that goes above and beyond for its guests – highly recommend!

Overall I was very happy with my stay here. The location is not too far off the main road but is beautiful and quiet. The owner is a great bloke. He let us have breakfast at 6:30am and arranged a minibus to the start of the Theth hiking trail (end of paved road) for a total cost of €15 (which we split between 6 people). The hostel does not serve dinner but he also drives everyone to and from Restaurant Rilindja for dinner in the evening. The rooms and beds are comfortable and there are lots of nice places to sit outside.
