  : We loved 5 Stinet! Absolutely beautiful location with incredible views. Run by a lovely and welcoming family - they were super invested in our stay and making sure we felt at home. Homemade meals were delicious! And the cabins were comfortable well air conditioned. Highly recommend!

  : The location is superb for nature views, very isolated, so good if you need to unplug and recharge. The cabins are really beautifully finished and are of a high standard. We definitely appreciated the air conditioner. The staff were all really lovely and accommodating. The family works hard to take care of day trippers and overnight guests. The transfer by ferry was good, as was the food.
  : As others have commented, it can be a bit difficult to work out how things work. Trying to find staff late afternoon was difficult, so unless you had preplanned every activity, meals and so forth, you were left wondering how to go about, say, hiring a kayak etc. There is an info sheet on the back of the doors to each cabin but when we asked about a boat ride to the Shala River we were quoted 70Euros not the 50 that was printed on the info sheet. Needless to say, we didn't go.

  : The wild nature, the lake, the mountains, the bees and other insect that made it so alive and beatiful.
  : The polution in the lake, too much garbage all over the place.

Very Good

  : This is a lovely spot on the lake. The food was plentiful and the family running it were lovely. Instructions on getting to the villas were clear and sent well in advance.
  : Trying to figure out how to get the keys on arrival wasn't easy but we got there in the end. The grass at the front of the villas was overgrown which was a shame. It would have been nice to lay on the grass and get some sun.

  : Staff is friendly, helpful and reachable. Communication before arrival was important and went fluently. Staff will often find solutions when needed. Beds were comfortable and the shower was in great condition. Last but not least, the location is as advertised with amazing views.
  : Broken wooden couch was left outside in our garden, instead of taking that out. Wi-Fi reach was very poor, I could only connect from my laptop, we often went upstairs to get a better connection. The toilet didn't work on arrival, this was luckily fixed quickly. There were no towels present (but we had our own). Dinner was always at 8PM, which is late if you have plans the next morning. You'll notice that people passing by (either doing the 1 day tour or just passing by for the restaurant with a view) get priority, because they will get food and drinks on arrival before you get yours. One day, when there were about 50 visitors for the restaurant, they forgot to take our order for lunch. I went upstairs to make sure we got to order a lunch, but they still forgot to make the lunch and get back to us (forgetting is human though). When I went upstairs again 1h30m after lunch time (2:30PM) they appologised and told me they will take care of it. It took another 45m (3:15PM) before I received my lunch very cold and without drinks... Within tourism, it is expected when mistakes are made that you'll get something more out of it, but this time I just received cold food without drinks when I was expecting additional drinks for free. I think you need to set your expectations right, that you're staying in a country that isn't used to serve tourists. Also note that you're paying more for services (meals, drinks, boats) than you would in the Shkoder city...

  : - Awesome location - nice accommodation - tasty Dinner (the Pasta and Risotto was too salty) with nice side dishes - friendly staff - easy to rent kajaks
  : - we had trouble with booking.com: our reservation got cancelt a few days before arriving because of overbooking... With no internet in the mountains we couldnt check our mails early enough. So we had a lot of stress before our stay. In the end everything work out well but that wasnt funny. - the breakfast isnt very good. Very different from ohne day to anzogen. Also they didnt offer coffee

  : Amazing location with a lovely view. Only reachable by ferry.
  : There was some miscommunication regarding the transport that was arranged from Shkoder to the ferry terminal. It seems like the transport was not ordered correctly. We were lucky to still get on a bus and made it to the terminal. When we pointed this out to the hosts upon arrival, they made sure the transport for our return trip was booked correctly.
