Albania: Curated Top 50 AirBNB Lists and Boutique Hotels
AirBNB (Adventure Fares Members)
We've put together some TOP 50 AirBNB lists for some of our favorite areas, as well as provided some resources for finding great boutique hotels! This doesn't cover the entire country, but should give you a good start. These lists are compiled based on 1) Location, 2) Reviews / Quality, 3) Value. We don't include any rental properties in our lists that don't score high on all three. And - we're always looking for those special properties that have fantastic views! If we're missing a favorite of yours, please let us know.

*Adventure Fares doesn’t get paid by AirBNB. Recommendations solely based on customer reviews, experience, location, and prices
How do we select AirBNBs to recommend? We generally review and recommend AirBNB rentals on 4 factors (may vary some by destination):
-
Reviews - we’ll never recommend a rental that doesn’t have excellent reviews, and doesn’t have enough of a track record to make the list.
-
Location: We always take a look at “where” the rental is. While there are certainly excellent units outside the areas we look for in cities - we like to be sure we’re giving you units in the best areas.
-
Value: We like to look at pricing in an area - and only recommend units that are decent to excellent values for what / where you’re renting.
-
View: We keep an eye out for units that have an excellent view! That’s when we’ll venture a little outside our pricing goals - when a place has an incredibly view you’ll want to consider. Sometimes we might get a little carried away (like when we go through the Santorini list).

Boutique Hotel Resources:
BoutiqueHotel.me - this one is usually our favorite. However, their list will only provide you with hotels who allow booking through booking.com - so some great hotels won’t be on their lists.
MrandMrsSmith.com - This is fantastic and inspirational resource for finding places to stay around the world. Much of their focus is on premiere hotels (and not what we would call “budget” finds), but it can be a fantastic place to search. It’s fun to just click on their “Inspiration” tab and find some new places around the world.
TheHotelGuru.com - This site also links to booking.com, and can be a complimentary resource.
GreatSmallHotels.com - Another resource the books through booking.com, this one tends to go a little more upscale, especially in large European cities.
NOTE: No matter what form of lodging you book, we recommend you always confirm your booking one last time a week to 10 days ahead of your travel.
