Ethno holistic village Apače - Nature Retreat in Slovenia

Świetny klimat drewniane wykończenia. Kuchnia dla gości na miejscu oraz sauna za dopłatą 25 euro. Fajna rodzinna atmosfera. Na plus wanna.

Pokój słabo posprzątany. Dużo kurzu, pajęczyny i nie wyczyszczony odpływ w wannie. Do tego było widać myszy oraz było je słychać w nocy budziły nas bo skrobały w ścianach i suficie.

The attention to detail in every bit of the property, the craftsmanship!!!

Wir waren für eine Nacht als Zwischenstopp hier und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Check-in und Organisation waren problemlos und sehr nett. Alles war sauber, die Betten bequem und die ruhige Atmosphäre mit viel Holz und mitten im Grünen hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Ok so the location is really cool, the building is beautiful. It has a lot of potential, if only the owner's approach wasn't so flawed.

1. Kitchen safety & fire hazard ⚠️ Since I arrived late at night, I was looking forward to making myself a quick dinner. I turned on the stove, and after a short while, I smelled something burning. The largest burner is way too close to the wall, which was actually catching fire! There were already burn marks from previous guests, so I couldn't possibly be the first one to experience this. I had to open all the windows due to the smell of burning plastic. I honestly can't believe this passed any kind of fire inspection. Unbelievable. 2. No heating! ⚠️ There was no heating at all. I understand it was "only" late September, but the outside temperature dropped to 5 °C at night. Even while sleeping in thermal wear, I was freezing. 3. Rodents ⚠️ There are obviously lots of mice inside the walls. At night, it felt like being in the middle of a mouse theme park.... running, chewing, and whatever else. It was so loud that I couldn't fall asleep. 4. Surprise tourist tax ⚠️ The owner had the nerve to ask me to leave €3.50 in cash for the Slovenian tourist tax right before I left. First, I wasn't told about this until 2 hours before arrival. Second, I don't carry cash, which is precisely why I use this online platform. My reservation clearly stated "all taxes included." I know other listings mention additional local taxes, but this one didn't. So mrs owner, you can't really expect me to pay up. 5. Sauna fee ⚠️ To top it all off, on the day of check-in, I found out the sauna fee was €25 - almost the same price I paid for the bed itself. That is a pretty crazy fee if you ask me, especially since the amount wasn't disclosed in advance. This building could be super cool if the owner actually addressed these issues.
