GOSTel Koprivnik, Kočevje, Kočevski Rog

Every nice thing was marred by our experience here with the male host.

Absolutely appalled by the host here who used the N***** word to describe a black person in a negative context. My friend who I was travelling with is mixed race and was constantly singled out for being of mixed heritage, he mentioned her heritage more than once and in front of others unnecessarily. There is no excuse for this blatant racism and behaviour when you are supposed to be running a BNB for travellers. He also mentioned he was a world traveller and had been to many culturally diverse countries so it came as even more of a shock that someone could be so openly racist. Also, however poor your English is its up to you to ensure you know what's socially inappropriate across the rest of the world due to the fact that you are running a place for travellers potentially from diverse places and surely you'd want to make them feel safe, not othered. This happened as soon as we arrived and made us both extremely uncomfortable. The rooms were unbearably hot with no fan and at night it was almost impossible to sleep. I would absolutely not recommend coming here if you are at all diverse and if you don't want to fund a place that's run by someone who is racist. Really sad that this happened and we were really shaken. We left as soon as we could.

Lovely accomodation surrounded by tranquil nature and endless green woods. Matjaž, Darka and their dogs where very welcoming. Matjaž knows a lot about the region and it's intresting history and gladly shared his knowledge with us. He is an open minded fellow and we had good conversations with him. We enjoyed our stay from the minute we came to Koprivnik. Next time we will stay longer.
