Warm water and a tv in the room

The location view and staff

The location means that you are right by the loud music by the beach bars, so make sure to bring some good earplugs!

Great view and good price

Nothing related to John's guesthouse could be faulty, the issue comes from Ksamil itself, so noisy, bar and clubs have 0 respect for there neighbours and go on really really loud music until 2am, so our nights were very short. It's very sad for the locals that have to deal with it every night.

Staff is super friendly and kind, the view is amazing, rooms are spacious and super clean, breakfast and dinner delicious and just a few minutes walking from the main area.

The double bed in the family room was not comfortable but they apologised and said they were in the process of replacing the mattress so it should be good next time.

Wonderful view over the bay. Lovely to be out of the bustle and noise of the town. Great resturant sitting out on the terrace.

Might be good to have TV?

The location, the size of the room and the people who work there.

I’ve stayed at many places during our vacation in Albania but this was the best. The room was clean and the location on top of the hill is amazing. It’s 2 minutes from the beach and the view was amazing as well. I would return anytime. They also serve good breakfast.

The music from the town was very loud

Johns guesthouse is in a lovely location with excellent views across the bay of Ksamil. It’s within easy walking distance of the town and beaches. The food was very good and great value. The chef is a great fisherman too and this made for some beautifully fresh seafood as well as traditional Albanian fare. The staff were great and made us feel very at home. I would recommend this destination for the 18-30 demographic due to the nature of the resort.

Wonderful place where hospitality and beauty go hand in hand. Stunning sea views from both the rooms and the restaurant, and the kindness of the owners and staff makes the stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Just one tiny thing with what you can live - the toilet seat lid was not staying open, so for my husband it was difficult to attend the toilet :D

The room was wide and clean, with comfortable beds and pillows. The view - we mostly sat outside where the view was amazing - especially in sunset. Location also is very good - just a trail down the hill and you are at the sea. We ordered additional breakfast and dinner - it was delicious. And the stuff very friendly and helpful => 2 young boys were serving the tables - special thanks to them.

Nothing

We had a wonderful stay at Johns guesthouse in Ksamil. The location is set uphill with exceptional views, and it was just a short walk into town. We also loved how close it was to Butrint National Park, which made for an easy day trip. There are several beaches within walking distance, including the beach in front of the guesthouse. We didn't pay for sunbeds. All beaches have sunbeds to rent, water sports, beach bars etc... but all had crystal-clear water, which was amazing for swimming. Take beach shoes and some are pebbly. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made us feel at home straight away. We chose to have both breakfast and dinner at the guesthouse, and the food was delicious every time. Our room was perfect for a family of four, with a good shower, a spacious terrace, and plenty of room to relax. Ksamil is lively and not very quiet in August, but the guesthouse offered a peaceful spot above the bustle. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this guesthouse to families looking for great views, friendly service, and easy access to both the beaches and the town.

It would have been nice to have had a kettle and some coffee/ tea facilities the room, or water in the fridge. The bathroom wet room got very wet after a shower so was then difficult to use toilet until it had dried.

Fabulous location. Lovely outdoor seating area with amazing views. We could have sat there all day. Lovely staff. Simple, clean and traditional accommodation. Loved that it was on one level. Short cut down a private path to the beach. Easy to find from the bus stop. Loved that they had cats and took good care of them.
