The rooms are built up the mountain and for some it may be difficult to claimed up to the rooms

The location is great

The property itself was lovely, the cabins were flea and comfy, the allocations was absolutely perfect. The staff were so wonderful and helpful, they helped book the bus and also picked us up on a boat, and dropped us back for the bus. We stayed 3 nights and this was not enough, we would of absolutely stayed 5 nights if we did this again. Most beautiful place we’ve been.

It’s a little climb up to the rooms. It’s not difficult but must be taken into account

Rooms were cozy comfortable and clean. Owners were very nice and helpful.

A couple small things, lights were flickering and shower did flood but this is to be expected as it’s a remote location. Steep hill to get up to the villa but still great location.

Very nice modern rooms considering the location. Good air conditioning, staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Just be aware that coming here you are disconnecting. There will be times without service or wifi or electricity all together. This is not a place to come work remotely unless you can work without the internet or electricity. The road in is long, windy gravel mountain road but it is definitely worth it. I’m so happy I came and enjoyed my stay even without electricity.

This place is so beautiful and practically untouched. The boat ride just getting there is so relaxing and scenic. The end of the lake on the river the water is so crystal clear and very chilly but refreshing. The cabins seemed to be brand new so everything was new and the service was great even through some issues with power outages, I did see some reviews that they do not have AC and it has been installed now, they installed them the day we came but unfortunately there wasn’t any electricity but the weather was fine so we wouldn’t have needed it, bring a flashlight in case as it is a little hike up to the cabins and if the electricity is out you will want to be able to see around.

The staff were amazing. Very communicative beforehand and could help organise transport to get there. The lodges are just slightly up the hill so we were glad we hadn't brought our big suitcases for the couple of nights we were here!

This destination is nothing short of paradise and is a must-visit in Albania. The owners are exceptionally kind and supportive, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere. The location is pristine, and the food is not only delicious but also of excellent quality.

Still need to level up in many area but it seems they have the will and eventually, they should succeed.

Rather new rooms and charming owners.

There was no fan or cooling in the rooms, however you are spending all day outside by the water!

The location is unbelievable, surrounded by surreal nature. Additionally, the staff were amazing, right from transportation to the river and ensuring all guests were welcomed and had what they needed throughout their stay, they really were fantastic

Everything was great!

- wifi didn’t extend to the rooms but it worked in the restaurant area - a little bit of a walk up and no view of the river from the amazing A frames. Not a deal breaker - just be aware the power may go out here and there (not for long and didn’t impede our trip)

- amazing new and clean establishment. Felt like a luxury experience - the staff was very helpful coordinating transport, and overall really kind overall. If you have questions just call them when you’re traveling there - the kitchen and restaurant were wonderful

Hosts were great, and very accomodating. There in middle of april and there were no crowds in Shala River, host was very helpful with helping to plan our trip around Albania. Food was also great.

Xhorxho and his wife Nicola were the most welcoming & pleasant hosts we have met during our trip in Albania & Kosovo. They were taking really good care of us (12 people) and showed great flexibility with the arrival and drop-off by boat from Fierze. The 1h boat trip is spectacularly beautiful and the place is a total gem, especially in October, when it is not too crowded. We really enjoyed the villas, the food and the hospitality. You can see the effort and heart they put in to create this little paradise.Totally recommended!

Amazing experience! Vila Gio is runned by Georgios and Gru and they make you feel very at home. The room is clean and the beds are very confortable. The breakfast is what you need to start the day. The location is just breath taking - We will be coming back!

It was very very hard to get to the room, going up up to the hill, when you get to the room you are excusted and full of mud. The bathroom has issues and floded and there is no balcony to sit near the rooms. The breakfast is very bed. If you can, just go to bee eco instead it is 10 times better!

We took this place because there were no room in other places and it was our only option to get to lumi i shale.

You had to climb up steep steps to get to the property . You can’t drive there with a hire car as it was excluded due to the condition of the road. The electricity was variable

The location is amazing

Stayed in July 2025

Only a minor thing but rooms didn’t have air-conditioning or fans which made it quite hot in the evenings in mid June when it was mid to high 30’s but was definitely cool enough to open the windows in the evening and cool the room downs

This place was a great spot, right in the centre of the Shala River area. The hosts were so lovely and accommodating and the rooms were perfect for our group. Was a great relaxing time down by the river! Would highly recommend.
