    Mladi and his wife welcomed us warmly and we had good conversations even though we only stayed for one night. We got a spontanious vegetarian dinner made from all the fresh veggies they grow in their garden. The place is beautiful and serene and the room was great so it was the perfect stay close to the airport.

    We stayed at Balabani Local Stay and it was truly one of the warmest, most welcoming places we've ever experienced. The staff are incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely caring — you feel more like a guest in someone’s home than in a hotel. The rooms were spotless and cozy, with very comfortable beds that made for a great night's sleep. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. Breakfast alone is worth the stay! If you're looking for peace, comfort, and true hospitality — this is the place. Would happily come back again!

    That there was no fridge as it was hot could have been helpful to keep our drinks cold, however there is a fridge in outside and ice was provided.

    The internet doesn't work well at all. We would have been happy if there was a small refrigerator in the room. Booking states that payment can be made by credit card, but instead they said that only cash is allowed.

    Lovely place, suitable for small children, there is a mini playground outside

    I liked the place a lot. Not much to criticise. With that being said, signing at the driveway could be improved.

    Very friendly staff! Absolutely service-minded. They serve the best breakfast I’ve had on the trip! Expect local charm and non standardised accommodation, but very comfortable.

    very friendly appartment managed by a super friendly and nice family! The house is located near Gornje Malo Blato & Skadar Lake, which offers a great opportunity to make some beautiful trips where the house owner could be a great choice as a guide. The area offers so many spectacles that we will definetly come again for more time! :) With very best wishes, Tamas & Brigitta from HU

    pay attention that the place's location mentioned on Booking.com is not correct, you need to find it on Google Maps (just type the name of the place and you will find it) and drive following the showed directions. our apartment was right in front of the breakfast table outside, and the distance between our entrance door and a table was 1 meter, so you can hear all that's happening while other guests having their meal. but the price of staying is fair enough for these inconveniences anyway

    A charming family runs the place: we were met by Tiana, her husband, and their sweet little daughter. In the morning, their mother made us the tastiest coffee, and their father offered figs from the trees on the property. Also, we had to leave early but changed our plan and stayed there an extra hour, as it was so cozy and tranquil: swings in the green grass yard, a big wooden table under the vineyard trees, a picturesque dog, and a funny little kitten playing with us. The apartment itself was clean and had 2 sleeping places on 2 floors (we sleep separately with my better half). Everything was clean and tidy. Would come back again!

    The rooms (especially downstairs) were a little tired

    Owner was so friendly. We organised airport pick up and drop off with him. So accommodating to us and our children and the breakfast was fabulous!! We wish we could have seen more and others really rated it 😊

    I can’t mention anything unpleasant

    I missed my plane, had to find an urgent accommodation being with a cat, and the place turned to be so wonderful that I totally forgot about unpleasant events brought me here. I stayed in cottage and in bungalow - both are very stylish and comfortable (cottage is fully equipped with everything needed, bungalow has outdoor shower and toilet, but the view from the bungalow is really worth seeing). Owners are wonderful family, educated, tactful, interesting multilingual people who thoughtfully create the perfect atmosphere so the guests can both enjoy privacy or join the company of other travellers. I got help with all the issues. It’s nice seeing someone putting so much soul in their business, and I know this place will always prosper.
