Kubeja Guest House is set in Gjirokastër and offers a garden, a terrace and barbecue facilities. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 43 km from Zaravina lake.

We were met by our gracious hosts and provided parking in a private, locked shed. We were then taken through a beautiful, flower lined entryway, up to the house, which has a great view of the mountains. Absolutely gorgeous house. We felt like we were stepping back in time. The night was chilly, but there were plenty of extra blankets to keep us warm. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

The hosts were amazing, very short walk to the city centre, the hosts met us from the highway and guided us to the house, they were available at any time with any problem and left us chocolates, pickles, raiki, homemade jam and came back with fresh fruit for us and extra cutlery just in case. Everything was very clean, good wifi and any kitchen appliances you would want including a juicer. They went above and beyond if I were to come back this is where I would stay. Best booking.com hosts I have had.

The host was amazing. He gave us fresh fruits, and we spent a cosy night with him, talking, with some raki and wine he served us. We also fell in love with the cat 🐈 The apartment has everything you need + a washing machine, which is great! It's a big place with a good bed and a television with netflix.

George and Georgina were really flexible to wait for us as we ended up on a really bad road and so were very late to check in. We were pleasantly surprised that they were so understanding and waited up later than we expected given our circumstances! We were provided with an EXCELLENT breakast which included the most delicious crepes! All in all amazing value for money and a brilliantly spacious, relaxing apartment with no noise at all.

    When they bring their room description and booking management in order it's totally recommendable. I'd booked a 20m² room with sofa, balcony and view but got a 14m² room without none of it. A bit disappointing. Apart from that I have only words of praise left. A charming family owned place with only four rooms. Tastefully restored with quality materials. Spotless clean. A nice cosy patio. Good and quiet location just 5 min.s walk from the bustling Old city center. Very kind and welcoming reception.

    Our stay at Grandpa’s home was absolutely charming. The house was located in the historical part of the town only 6min away from the old bazaar. The room was super cozy and beautifully decorated in an authentic regional style, very clean and with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. There was absolutely nothing that was missing. The highlight of our stay was of course the delicious breakfast that was served by the most charming and energetic grandpa in the patio with a direct view of the castle. Would absolutely recommend!

    Would totally recommend if you want to live the authenticity of Gjirokastra having the opportunity to stay in one of the traditional, romantic and cozy houses of the city. Great position, easily accessible and also you can park next to the guestshouse easly which is totally a plus as the guestshouse is in the middle of the new and old city . You can reach basically everything by foot and enjoy all the nice bars and pubs in the area. We had a great time and really enjoyed the vibe of both guesthouse and hosts!

    The included breakfast is provided in a separate cafe (te kube), which itself is very lovely and cosy. The owner works for an NGO that is involved with the cultural heritage and development of the city of Gjirokaster, and (if you asks) shares interesting informations about the city`s history, its ongoing restauration and other interesting matters.
