Villa & Winery Mal Sveti Kliment

Villa & Winery Mal Sveti Kliment

10/10 Excellent
"My party of 4 travelers each had our own separate rooms. My room had no deficiencies & no one else mentioned or complained about any problems in their rooms. My bed was comfortable but the pillows were a bit too thick/firm. It would have been nice if instead of 4 copies of the same pillow there had been pillows a little thinner/softer available to use or mix/match with the firmer variety. Not a show-stopper, just something to mention. Breakfast in the winery offered a good variety of foods & the space was also was sparkling clean & comfortable. It's located a short downhill walk from the streets along the lakeside so it was easy to get to where the action was, yet quiet at night."

"I had a balcony room with a view of Lake Ohrid. The place is very well maintained and very welcoming. It is located in a quiet street but not far from attractions. On late nights when bars are still open and can get loud, it's nice to retreat to someplace quiet. I highly recommend Villa Varosh"

"The location is beautiful; overlooks Lake Ohrid. The room was clean. The hotel itself was in disrepair. Paint peeling off the wall of our room, baseboards missing or damaged. All though they advertised a roof terrace, there was no seating and they were using it to store building supplies. The hotel staff was helpful and polite, however the restaurant staff acted like they couldn’t be bothered to wait on us and their staff was smoking at one of the tables in the restaurant."

"Arrived at this location and the staff was super helpful to get us settled in, the bathroom had a weird smell coming from the drains, the jacuzzi in the room had some off gassing which lead to an awful smell in the room. So had to keep the door open for fresh air, but then the neighbors decided to smoke on the deck, leading to cigarette smoke filling our room. Sheets were old , and did not have fitted sheet on mattress. Towels were old and falling apart. Seemed like they were just getting by on a shoes string. Good price , close to water. If you don’t mind bad smells it could be for you."

"If you are booking last minute for Lake Ohrid and you need a room with a bed and a bathroom at a reasonable price, this is a place for that, but not much more. It's about 5 minutes downhill to the nearest beach and to town. Uphill is a climb and doable for the able bodied, but not recommend for those with mobility issues. The owner will kindly offer pick up at the bus station; take him up on it as you won't find this place on your own. Lake Ohrid in general is lively and has a great vibe, don't miss it when you are in Northern Macedonia!"
