"A beautiful property and room! The staff is amazing. Very helpful with our plan to visit the park and waterfalls in a limited amount of time. The food is delicious and we felt very much at home! Natalie and May were so welcoming! We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family."
"The location from the National Park Entrance 1 and 2 was about a 30 minute drive but is very close to entrance 3. Entrance 3 has, I believe, no parking charge. We had no problem with locating the residence (B&B) on GPS and the owner was there immediately when we arrived and let us into the room. Breakfast and dinner is served in a separate building next door. The TV had very limited English speaking channels but that is normal for the country.
Breakfast was very good with eggs cooked to order. The buffet selection was fine including croissants (delish), and a selection of hams and salami and homemade cheeses. We also had dinner there. My wife had the whole broiled trout and was excellent. I ordered the pork on skewer and was a little too well done for my taste but that's just me.
The reason for losing a star is the room was not made up the second day. Not sure if we should have asked for this service in advance. That being said, I would definitely recommend this B&B."
"Here’s your enhanced version with that detail added smoothly:
Beautiful, clean, and modern hotel with a fresh, stylish atmosphere. The rooms were well-maintained and very comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. What truly stood out was the staff—exceptionally friendly, attentive, and highly professional, always ready to help with a warm attitude. The breakfast was fresh and more than adequate, offering a great start to the day. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, quality, and great service."
"Clean room but dated which was ok for us it was close to the park entrance with easy access and that is was we were looking for. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The park is gorgeous!"
"Very convenient location, spacious room, and a friendly host. But that’s about it. The rest is just bare bones - a bed and a shower. Minimal appliances, broken door and window locks, clogged sink, questionable cleanliness. Just a notch above a camping cabin. Okay for a nigh or two. "
"This was the perfect tree lined cabin retreat. We stayed here for 6 nights during our time exploring Plitvice Lakes National Park. This place felt peaceful and like a step back in time. Wood fired BBQ, hammocks and outdoor seating areas were nice. Pet friendly for our little pup. Everything was clean and well maintained. You need a vehicle here, same as other places in the area. I’d stay again and highly recommend!"
