Sustainable Samel's Cottage Hrid's lake Prokletije

The katuns are very clean and comfortable. The view is the best at all POB trail. Food is tasty and served with a smile Hosts are warm and welcoming

Surroundings, sunset, food, cleanliness and wonderful stuff

Mattresses too soft, if you are suffering from back pain be aware of this 😂 didn’t like the fact that we shared the bathroom with other guests, but it was clean and in perfect order so it’s only our personal preference

We loved this place. There served the best food we had along the peaks of the Balkans trail, the place has amazing views, friendly hosts and it's a lovely accomodation with basic wooden huts.

If the bed had been a bit more comfortable, this would have been a 10 but the bed in our 2p hut was basically just a narrow mattress on the floor. There is no wifi but the host set up a hotspot.

Ahhhhh I loved this place so much I don't even know where to start! At some point when I realized it was an hour past Babino Polje (walking) I considered cancelling and finding something closer to town, as it was our last night on the Peaks of the Balkans trek. I knew we'd be tired and I thought it might be easier to stay somewhere right in the village. But I read some reviews and looked again at the photos online and decided to keep the reservation. I am SO glad that I did. This was by far our favorite accommodation of the whole trek, ten days hiking in Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo. The atmosphere was just amazing, absolutely beautiful views in every direction. Alen was an excellent and hospitable host and speaks perfect English. He lived in South Carolina and has worked in all aspects hospitality and it shows. My husband and I are on our honeymoon and Alen set us up for dinner by ourselves above the other tables with a big stump for our personal table. It was honestly so sweet and romantic, and the food was incredible! Everything homemade and just delicious. We had a tiny cabin with no electricity and honestly it was just perfect for us. You can charge devices at a communal station. We loved watching the sunset over the mountains from the two swinging hammock chairs with cows wandering by. Later Alen made a bonfire and it was so lovely to sit by the fire and drink some wine and chat with other hikers. I can't say enough positive things about the cottages! Awesome experience. 🥰❤️

My only suggestion is to add a couple more showers as sometimes there was a wait. But I wasn't in a hurry so no big deal. 😂

Beautiful location! Stunning view, super helpful and friendly hosts. Fantastic food.

Nothing

Beatiful spot. A bit further from Babino Polje on the Peaks of the Balkans trail. Very friendly host.

The view and hospitality of the owner

It's a bit tricky to get there, but I managed it without a problem with a normal car

Great location if you’re walking the PoB, it’s right on the route. The family made us feel right at home, Ermina cooks the most amazing dishes, everything tasted super fresh and was homemade. It was honestly the best food we had on the whole PoB route. The cottages are also super comfortable, and all the facilities were very clean.
