Went here to be close to the lakes – which did work out very well, as the resort is indeed located just 500 m from the (unofficial) entrance 3 (which, unlike rumours have, opens at the same time as all other gates); the hotel provides links to websites of the park where you can obtain tickets without extra fees. What you might find a bit confusing as you arrive is that the place is signposting itself as “Ethno Houses” (no sign of “Lakeside Hotel”); no worries, it is all part of the same resort, consisting of various houses. Upon check-in, you will be led to your room – convenient in the maze of buildings, paths, and stairs. Note that the buildings on the compound are built of timber (hence the “Ethno”) – a nice ‘eco’ feature, but it also means they have no elevators… A perk is that the houses are accessible by car; there is free parking, some right at some of the houses. The rooms have a good size, with shelves for all your clothing (wardrobe is a bit small); they are furnished with two armchairs with a couch table, and a desk (which, however, has no chair, and is occupied by the TV) that includes a fridge. The bath is a bit small compared to the room (no space for two people…); however, it sports a bathtub with jacuzzi function – but not really apt for comfortable showering (nothing to hold the shower head). The baths have no shaving mirror, and mine had defects in the installations – except for the jacuzzi not a highlight of the accommodation… The beds are good; only a single pillow type is provided, but that worked fine for me. The roof windows have a proper blind, while the façade windows only have curtains that leave light through. It is blissfully silent at night (wake up to the crow of a cock), so all set for a good night’s sleep… The WiFi worked well; a slight downside was the missing central light switch at the beds. Breakfast was good, dinner at the restaurant as well (ate there twice – no need to venture further); no reservations are required. On the grounds, there are lots of opportunities to entertain yourselves (free of charge) – table tennis, minigolf, a “zoo”, …

They have a rich offer of activities for everyone. They have a nice zoo, a spa corner. The staff is very pleasant. The rooms are wonderfully furnished. Only a 5-minute walk to the Plitvice Lakes. Next time we will come back. Very nice mini vacations.

L’hotel est très propre et très confortable. Les activités à disposition sont appréciées. Très très bien placé pour la visite des lacs. Mention spéciale pour le personnel qui est très accueillant, disponible, compétent et bienveillant !

+ Ligging: op wandelafstand van de meren. - Wat rare mengeling van aanbod: 'dierentuin', sauna,... + Speciale sfeer: dit is geen standaard hotel, maar een reeks houten huizen van 2 verdiepingen. Kamers zijn ruim en mooi ingericht. - Onze kamer was op de t****e verdieping, maar er is geen lift. Dat is puffen geblazen als je uw bagage naar boven moet brengen. - Airco is heel krachtig, maar blaast recht op het bed, je kan die dus niet aan laten staan + Lekker gegeten ook, zowel ontbijt als lunch/diner. - Ontbijt is buffet, met koffie automaat die slechte koffie produceerde. Als je dan vroeg naar de koffie zoals je die de dag ervoor na diner had gekregen, komt die van andere machine achter bar, en kost die 2 Euro. Dat doet echt afbreuk aan het geheel!

L’hotel, così come hotel la reception e gli spazi esterni sono tutti costruiti in legno il che rende l’ambiente molto particolare. Molto bella la camera, di buone dimensioni e tutta in legno, dal pavimento al soffitto. Ok anche il bagno con doccia. Come anche in altri hotel della zona non c’è il bidet. Personale gentilissimo e precisissimo anche nel darci indicazioni per la visita ai laghi. Buona la colazione
