Ante was an excellent host. He was very engaging, friendly and made the stay enjoyable. River House was well maintained, and essentially a home away from home. Remember to follow thr walking tips provided by Ante and Lucy!

Maybe the only thing would be a slightly firmer bed and pillows, although we slept through after the amazing walks in the national park.

Really fantastic stay at Plitvica River House. One of the few places that lives up to (or exceeds) its incredibly high review score on booking.com and Google. Some notes/tips: - Ante (one of the owners) worked as a chef on cruise liners for 15+ years. The food at the Plitvica River House is very good. Both breakfast and dinner. Quite an outstanding amount of things are homemade (and better than normal). I’m not sure where they find the time! - if you like Hugo cocktails, Ante does an amazing one. - there is a very nice stream and grass/wood area next to the property which you can go and sit at - the house is about 10 minutes walk from Entrance 3 to the national park. You can enter this entrance with a ticket for entrance 1 or 2. It makes things way easier and there is no queue at entrance 3. Would recommend going in after breakfast as early as you can. When we stayed we had breakfast at 7.30am and entered entrance 3 about 8.30am and that was fine. We did opt for a 2-day ticket which was a bit less stress on day 2 (you have to enter at your allotted time on day 1, but then can enter at any time on day 2). We entered at 3pm on Day 1 and just did a small walk to one of the bigger waterfalls, and then did more of the main parts on day 2. No need to stress about this though, as Ante will explain everything. Only recommendation would be to buy a ticket online before so you know you’ll get in.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Plitvica River House was, without any doubt, the best hotel experience we have ever had during all of our travels across Europe. The location is absolutely perfect for anyone visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park — peaceful, surrounded by nature in every direction, and just minutes from the park entrances. The entire property feels like a true oasis of tranquility and beauty. The room was exceptional: spacious, spotless, cozy, and with an incredibly comfortable bed. The shower deserves special mention as well — the water pressure was simply spectacular, one of the best we have ever experienced while traveling. But what truly made this stay unforgettable was the extraordinary hospitality of the owner, Ante. From the very first moment, he went above and beyond to make us feel genuinely welcomed and completely comfortable. His kindness, warmth, and attention to every small detail made us feel more like cherished guests in a home than customers in a hotel. Ante also provided invaluable advice for our visit to the park, helping us make the most of our day with insider tips that only a local expert could offer. In addition, he prepared outstanding food himself — he is an incredibly talented chef. My husband confidently says he had the best pork of his entire life there. As we continued our journey through Croatia, Ante once again exceeded all expectations by recommending the most beautiful route for our drive — far better than the one suggested by Google Maps or Waze — along with amazing places to stop, visit, and eat along the way. We truly cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us. This was not just a hotel stay; it was a memorable human experience that touched us deeply. We already miss this place very much and sincerely hope to return one day.

Everything. This was honestly the best hotel experience we have ever had during all of our travels across Europe. The location is perfect for visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park, surrounded by beautiful nature and complete tranquility. The room was spotless, extremely comfortable, and the bed was excellent. The shower had amazing water pressure — truly one of the best we have experienced while traveling. What made our stay unforgettable, however, was the owner, Ante. He is one of the most welcoming, attentive, and kind hosts we have ever met. He genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience, giving us precious tips for visiting the park and even recommending the most scenic roads, places to stop, and restaurants for the continuation of our trip through Croatia — much better than Google Maps or Waze suggestions. Ante is also a very talented chef. The food he prepared was outstanding, and my husband says he ate the best pork of his life there. This place is much more than a hotel — it feels like a peaceful oasis and a home away from home. We already miss it very much.

Absolutely nothing. Everything was perfect.

Everything. Ante and Lucy were amazing and welcoming. The food and vibe was incredible. The best.

There is not a single thing we did not like.

It’s not very often u find an accommodation like this. The owners, Tony & Lucy, are your Concierge, Tony your Chef with both dinner and breakfast that is Superb, Lucy with such welcoming hospitality! They even inquire about the rest of your travels to make recommendations. The location couldn’t be any closer to P3 entrance to Plitvica Park. You’ll need for nothing!

L'accueil très chaleureux de Lucie et Anton. Les conseils précieux pour la visite des lacs. Chambre spacieuse et confortable.
