"Plitvica Lodge was an amazing experience and probably one of the highlights of our entire Croatia trip.
The lodge is located in Plitvica Selo, only a 10–15 minute walk from the park entrance, which was incredibly convenient. We were able to leave our car and luggage at the lodge, so we didn’t have to worry about driving to the park or dealing with parking.
Our room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. We honestly wished we could have stayed longer. The staff was exceptional — incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They were waiting for us when we arrived, greeted us warmly, and provided all the information we needed about visiting the park. They also recommended the best route for exploring Plitvice Lakes, which worked perfectly with our schedule.
The lodge’s restaurant was another highlight of our stay. Breakfast and dinner are served there, making it very convenient, but more importantly, the food was excellent. For dinner, they offer either a meat or fish platter, and both were absolutely delicious. They also have a great selection of beer, wine, and local spirits.
The service throughout our stay was outstanding. Everyone was so warm and welcoming that by the end of our visit, we felt like we had made new friends with the staff and owners.
We truly loved our stay at Plitvica Lodge. It was one of the most memorable parts of our trip, and we would definitely stay here again if we return to Croatia. Highly recommended!"
"Our air conditioning was broken, but they made arrangements at the property next door. They went above and beyond.
The food in the restaurant was amazing."
"All was good and in really nice. The owner was present to welcome us and she was really nice and pleasant. There is a restaurant affiliated, it's 1 KM away....a must try, really good and excellent service!!!"
"After reading many reviews before making our reservation at this property, we had low expectations.
We only stayed for one night and we were pleasantly surprised.
Sure, the property is out-dated, but the staff were informative/friendly, the shuttle to the local restaurant was convenient, and of course the location of the hotel by the Park entrance was easily accessible."
"The hotel was clean and really comfortable and they had a pool which was a bonus at 37C temp after the long walks in the park. Also very close to entrance 1 literally 6 min drive and the breakfast was great."
"The room was very spacious even with 2 adults and two children. The pool and spa facilities were useful after spending a lot of time walking around plitvice lakes (the hotel was close by). The staff were helpful for gluten free breakfast options"
