Valbona Resort & Spa

Hotel is new, room is spacious and clean.

I recently stayed at a hotel in Valbona and was disappointed with several aspects of my experience. While the location is stunning, the hotel is still under construction, and unfortunately, the noise from the work started as early as 8 AM, even on the weekend, which was disruptive. The room was decent but not as clean as I would have liked. Additionally, the balcony was shared with other rooms, which compromised my privacy and comfort. The breakfast buffet was also quite limited, and by 9 AM, many items were gone and not replenished. Lastly, the manager was not as polite as I would have expected, which added to my overall dissatisfaction. The hotel has potential, but these issues, particularly the shared balcony and management's attitude, need improvement for a better guest experience.

Worst staff I have ever seen. Extremely unproffesional for a selfclaiming “5 star hotel”. Our waiter Henri didnt even take notes and joked with us in arrogance when we said maybe take notes?? We were having 7 people having dinner, so how are you suppossed to remember all those orders. So basically what happened is most of the orders were wrong, they were late, he was always rude and when asked for something would say yes ofcourse and then be nowhere with delivering that… We waited 10 minuts for a bottle of water, and I had to walk to bar and find Henri to finish payment of dinner, after asking for a bill for 20 minutes… after finishing payment I also asked for his name, shocked in fear he replied why do you need it, I said im just interested, and he said Junik… Luckily I had heard his name from another waiter and also had his name in my recepit. Nice try though! Food was great though props to cuisine, but not good enough for me to want to go through Henri or the staff again. Also all the waiters were acting high, we were calling loud enough for 2-3 tables to look around why the waiter cant hear us, when he was closer than those tables. If you call yourself a 5 star hotel, go through the process of training your staff. Embarrasing and you will never see any of us again!

This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was perfect from the exceptional mountain views to the amenities in the room itself. The infrared sauna and pool were so relaxing and I got a massage that was super affordable. The food is great and staff are very accommodating. I hope I can return soon. This is a highly underrated place that I hope gets the recognition it deserves!

The hotel is a beginning hotel. The staff doensn't know everything.
