Guest House Gjelaj

Very nice house with great food and the nicest family. It’s perfect if you travel from Valbona to Teth or the other way around. Out of the busy ‘centre’ of Teth, with the best views. The food is amazing.

Property was in great condition, views were impressive, the garden was well cared, with sunbeds to relax. Room was comfortable and clean, as well as the bathroom. The family running it was wonderful and the food they prepared very tasty. We stayed there prior to heading to Valbonë and as some stated it spared us from the uphill hike between Theth and the property. It's also a great option for travelers doing the reverse path, unless you absolutely need to go to the supermarket, get cash, etc, prior to check-out.

The room was very spacious and comfortable, the hosts were very nice, and the views were great. Breakfast was also delicious, with tasty family-style dinner available for purchase too. We especially enjoyed the very sweet mom cat and her kitten!

Not a dislike, just something to note in case of your plans: it is up the hill from town a little bit, along the Valbona-Theth hike. This might give you a head start if you’re heading to Valbona, but also if you’re doing things in town just remember you have to walk back up a bit at the end of the day. It also means it’s quiet and contributes to the nice views.

They clearly do it for the money. We only spoke with one person who received us. The other family members did barely nod to us, they were not interested. Overpriced: there was no real shower. There was no space in the bathroom for showering. You almost had to stand on the toilet for that. Toilet, sink, floor: everything got wet. We paid 70 euro for the room. In addition, we asked something to eat upon arrival. We received three small pieces of saucage for 2 persons (with a salad and peppers and french fries and yoghourt) and paid a bit more than 30 euro for this and one beer. In all other places we had more value for our money.
