  : We really liked the food prepared in the restaurant. A carp from the lake in a special Albanian sauce. Great taste. The owner was helpful and nice, he could speak French. If we couldn't find the words in English, we used "uncle Google". Go there and feel the family atmosphere. Water in the lake was warm and there was also a stone beach.

  : Friendly staff, family run, went above and beyond when asked to help to try to help. Room was big enough for two. Bed was quite comfortable. Secure parking. Boiler for hot water was scalding hot.
  : Road to hotel is 1 lane street but asphalt was in okay-ish condition, had breakfast and dinner there but was not the best (wasn't terrible but could be better) fridge in the room was nice to have but quite noisy, room could have betters oundproofing. Would be nice of you could prepare a coffee or tea on the room.

  : Basic and clean room for a good nights rest. Two things really stood out that made us fall in love with this place. 1) the B&B is a bit of a drive on a narrow road along the lake but its a scenic drive nevertheless. More importantly, the location and view is breathtaking and makes the drive so worth it and the stay so value for money. 2) Balan and his family are incredibly warm, hospitable, accommodating and kind. Their home cooking was delicious so much love in their cooking. Definitely try the traditional oven baked fish, worth the 50min wait as they make it from scratch on demand.

  : the best of this hotel is the view on the lake, from your window! The room is basic, ad described and visible from the pictures. It's clean. Staff, owners is helpful and provides you with all the info you need. He can also arrange a boat trip. Unfortunately for bad weather I didn't book it. Breakfast is not included but you can still have it, with quality products (eggs, cheese, a small burger, tomatoes and cucumber, a juice) at around 7 eur per person
  : It's better to have a car to explore the area, The closest town is Shiroka, around 5 km away, doable on foot only with daylight, with care for the narrow road for cars, bikes and pedestrians, but really worthy! The view, nature is beautiful! If you call a taxi it can cost from 8 to 16 euro one way, it depends how lucky you are with the price negotiation. The room could be improved a bit. Very basic.
