The couple that owned it were literally the nicest people I’ve ever met. She spoke a bit of English but we very easily used google translate to discuss plans. It is about a 2km walk from the beginning of the hike (closest one you can found without being dropped off).
We paid more to have dinner there which was amazing, and they also prepared breakfast for us at 5:30am despite ongoing scheduled town blackouts which made it difficult to cook.

This was the perfect place to stay in the Valbonë valley before starting our hike over the mountain pass to Theth the next day.
The people working at the hotel could not have been more welcoming or lovely to all guests, we felt so incredibly looked after and relaxed from the minute we arrived.
We had the most delicious dinner the night before and breakfast in the morning was perfect to set us up for the hike. They even set up a table outside with provisions for guests to make and pack a lunch to take on the hike.
The beds were very comfortable and the setting couldn’t be more peaceful and beautiful. The rooms were very well equipped with lovely powerful showers - perfect after a long day exploring the mountain paths.

Friendly staff and letting us grab as many sandwiches as we want to bring on our hike. The views are already amazing there as well. Waking up into a fairytale.
1 hour away from the start of the hike to Theth. They offered a busride to the start but we just did it all. Started out down the road of the hotel at the dry river bed. Total 7 hour hike with stops.

We had two double rooms. The rooms were fine, not super spacious but sufficient. Beds were comfy and rooms were clean. Breakfast was good once we finally got it.

This was a brilliant place to stay and our host was so helpful and friendly. We stayed in a little apartment at the bottom of the B&B which was perfect for a family group. You absolutely need a car to take advantage of staying here. The peace, the stunning views and the incredible river two minutes walk away is blissful.

Valbonë is a picturesque little village built along the road...
Valbonë is a picturesque little village built along the road in an alpine valley. When we stayed there (early June) it was serene and way less tourist-packed than Theth. The views to the surrounding peaks are superb. On the downsides, you could see that there's heavy tourist accommodation development taking place and huge hotels are being built, so it's on a verge of becoming a tourist trap and losing its charm. Staying there in the peak season may be far from relaxing. And don't rush it, stay here for 1-2 days and explore the trails. Don't miss the water mill on the edge of the village, and do the easy 8km one-day trail (see my pictures).

It is a wonderful location, worth exploring.
It is a wonderful location, worth exploring. There are so many things to do. The only drawback is the long journey to go there from the Tirana, the capital of Albania. I would recommend travelling through Kosovo as there are many places for stopover on the way to Valbona, including Prizren, Gjakova and Decan. Definitely going back.

Beautiful nature, lots of hiking trails.

The only problem we faced during staying in this area was food quality. Unfortunately, we got food poisoning from one of the restaurants and it seems to be a know problem. So either check the most recent reviews before eating out or bring your own food.

The views going into the National Park and once you arrive...
The views going into the National Park and once you arrive are breathtaking. It's a very raw kind of beauty. There are multiple hikes that can be done in Valbone, with different durations, however marking of the paths is not very consistent. We would recommend proper hiking gear due to there being lacking infrastructure, like missing bridges to cross the river/streams or missing fences and hand rails in steeper parts of the trail.
We mainly stayed and ate at our hotel, Hotel Margjeka, which was a great place with really good food.

Valbona is primarily a jumping off point for hikes and treks...
Valbona is primarily a jumping off point for hikes and treks into the surrounding mountains. It offers stunning views, some good hiking, plenty of accommodation options, but not much else. There is a tiny market (more of a booth) but if you don't want to be eating at restaurants or may want to bring snacks for the trail, stock up before heading for Valbona (likely in Shkoder). Also be sure to stock up on cash (lek or euro) as few (if any) places here accept cards and there are no ATMs. To get to Valbona from Shkoder I highly recommend the Komani ferry ride.
