It was like staying in an old village not a hotel. The renovation has been done very well. Good facilities with pool, spa, wellness space. The restaurant food was very good.

“Well worth a short stay if interested in heritage architecture - but not for the overpriced food.”

Remarkable re-built Albanian village on a hill above the sea. A great architectural achievement. Beautiful room, pool area, view, and you can explore the village rebuilt with help from UN heritage funds. Really something,

“A genuinely beautiful hotel with real potential, let down by inconsistent service and a gap between its luxury ambitions”

Beautiful location with stunning views. The room was lovely and thoughtfully designed. The booklet in the room was a highlight — beautifully produced and atmospheric. The natural incense near the tea station felt perfectly in keeping with the hotel’s character.

“Beautiful Location Let Down by the Check-In Experience”

The location is excellent, with amazing views. Our room was very clean and well maintained. Being next to the pool was fantastic during the day, and having our own chairs and table by the pool area was a nice touch. The breakfast was excellent with a good selection of food.

“We had a great time and would definitely visit again”

Beautiful hotel in beautiful location, great pool, lovely room

“One of the best hotels I’ve ever been to! Feels magical”

The setting was absolutely stunning! The rooms were spacious and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

“Beautiful hotel, would recommend for a short stay in Dhermi!”

Beautiful property on the hill overlooking the beach. Very aesthetic and comfortable. Staff were very willing to help with luggage and any requests! Lovely big room!

“One in a million. Honestly, such a beating place. Can only recommend!”

The location is breathtaking! Really stunning!

10/10

“Stunning views but pricey for Albania”

Lovely view up in the hills and a unique place. Good pool and friendly staff. Had a large room which was clean and quiet. Free parking although limited

“Amazing atmosphere and views”

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel – the place itself, the surroundings, and the overall atmosphere were truly impressive. However, what really elevated the experience to a perfect 10/10 was the service provided by Noel and Ani. They stood out with their exceptional attentiveness. Their level of service was outstanding, and no matter what question we had, they took the time to explain everything in such a humble, patient, and positive manner. They deserves great recognition – together, they created a service experience that truly stood out. We sincerely hope that the entire staff takes inspiration from these two, as they were genuinely the only ones who consistently delivered service at the highest level during our stay. As a small point of feedback, we would like to mention that communication regarding the hotel’s facilities could be improved. While the hotel had opened, not all amenities were available, and this was unfortunately not communicated on the website or at the time of booking. That was a bit disappointing. That said, Noel’s and Ani’s exceptional service made us almost completely forget about this issue. A big thank you to Noel and Ani – we hope the rest of the staff follows your example.

The hotel itself is stunning and has incredible views. The staff were also all lovely and very accommodating

“It would have been great if the hosts would have informed us about the weeding taking place. We were there for a weekend”

“A nice a pleasant stay for us.”

Clean Service Designe

Great stay, amazing breakfast overall worth the price.

“Perfect”

Breakfast was stunning and the restaurant food was incredible. Me and my husband loved our stay. Music was a little loud and bassey around the pool but that’s was a minor issue

“Exceptional!”

Certainly! Here’s a well-written, positive review of a coastal hotel in Albania, highlighting the name Ardet as a standout: ⸻ Title: A Hidden Gem on the Albanian Coast – Exceptional Stay! I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful hotel on the Albanian Riviera, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the staff made me feel completely at home. The hotel is perfectly located along the coast, offering stunning views of the Adriatic Sea and easy access to the beach — just a short walk away. What truly made my stay unforgettable was the impeccable service, especially from Ardet, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was friendly, professional, and always ready to help with local recommendations. The rooms were spotless, modern, and spacious, with balconies that opened up to breathtaking sunsets. The on-site restaurant served fresh seafood and traditional Albanian dishes that were full of flavor and beautifully presented. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat by the sea or a base to explore the Albanian coastline, this hotel is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“Zoe Hora was extremely disappointing - All our other stays on this trip were exceptional”

Liked the view from up on the hill. The main building and the main pool area Friendly housekeeping staff. What we didn’t like: Where to start – our biggest gripe with this hotel was that we had booked and paid for an experience that we did not receive. The beautiful hotel that you see in the photos and read about in the descriptions was running on empty. After check in we were told that because it was now the end of high season the resort would be running at reduced capacity and therefore only one restaurant and one bar would be open. The cocktail and hookah lounges were closed, fitness/yoga/pilates classes not on offer. (Perhaps if this was communicated at the time of booking and a reduced rate was offered, guests could weigh up their options, make a more informed decision and not be disappointed) Guests are still charged full price and then do not receive near what is advertised. Ok well - we are here now; we will try to make the most of it and after a bit of unpacking we met up with the rest of our group at the lovely poolside bar and ordered a round of drinks. To our disappointment, only one of the drinks could be provided as we were told they had run out and would not be restocking. Numerous options were unavailable. The traditional restaurant and onsite café we had wanted to try during our stay were closed, leaving only the most expensive fine dining option. Later that evening when we decided to try the restaurant, most items on the menu had been struck off and what did finally get served up was very meagre in portion size and outrageously expensive. At the included breakfast the following day, the staff when asked if there was coffee available, gave us conflicting explanations - we first got a reply that the machine was broken, then it was changed to the standard reply – they had run out and would not be restocking. When we asked about their laundry service, we were told that they were no longer providing the service as it was end of season

“The view from the balcony was our highlight 🤩”

Location of the hotel was very good, though Dhermi was like a ghost town. Not many shops were open.
