Guest Reviews
- Franko (10/5): -
- Timo (2/5): Ich komm nie wieder - Die Lage Alles andere
- Danijela (7/5): - Loved the hotel and location. Very clean and comfortable, great sea view room from the balcony. Food was pretty decent as well for a vegan. It's definitely not a 4 star hotel.
- Metod (8/5): Lepo okolje, urejen hotel, prijazno osebje, zelo neurejen apartma in premalo za visoko ceno! - Hotel sva obiskala že drugič in sva navdušena nad lokacijo, urejenostjo in prijaznim osebjem. Všeč nama je kristalno čisto morje, urejene poti okoli obale in prijetni lokalčki v Božavi. Posebno ceniva mirno okolje, brez neprijetnega pretiranega turističnega vrveža. Z električnimi kolesi sva našla kar nekaj prijetnih kotičkov, tako, da sva se vsak dan kopala na drugi plaži. Pohvalila bi označeno in urejeno peš pot po otoku! Tokrat sva morala, ker je bilo ostalo zasedeno, najeti apartma, ki je bil sicer velik, z veliko teraso vendar skrajno neprijeten. Dajal je vtis, kot da so iz njega odnesli kar nekaj opreme, ostala pa je bila v zelo slabem stanju - grobo opraskane površine opreme, mizica se je podirala, majhen hladilnik na tleh, na steni so viseli električni in telekomunikacijski kabli itd. Pri množici programov niso delovali slovenski TV programi. Na veliki terasi ni bilo sedežne garniture. Na najin protest sva tretji dan zamenjala apartma, z drugim, ki je bil boljši. Sama hrana je bila dobra vendar v primerjavi s sosednjim hotelom premalo raznolika. Predvsem sadja je bilo malo in vedno enako. Na vsak način ugotavljava, da sva za svoj denar dobila veliko premalo!
- Norbert (10/5): -
- ZDRAVKA (10/5): - Čudovita lokacija, zelo dobra hrana in prijazno osebje.
- Guest (10/5): - prekrasna lokacija
- Dobrila (10/5): -
- Mirjam (8/5): Čudovita lokacija hotela, kristalno čisto morje. Določeno osebje neprofesionalno in nespoštljivo. - Klasična ponudba - kosmiči, jogurt, ocvrta, umešana in trdo kuhana jajca, narezana zelenjava, sir, skuta, maslo, marmelada, med, pršut, klobase, hrenovke, kruh, rogljički, sok,...Vse zelo okusno. Kava!!
- Anna (10/5): - Widoki, spokój, czystość; dobre kolacje
- Attila (8/5): Kellemes hotel,máskor is megyünk. - Kellemes hotel.Tiszta szobák,kedves mosolygós személyzet.Kiváló konyhával,nagyon finom és változatos ételekkel. A szobában kerregő légkondi.(A bejelentés után hamar kaptunk másik szobát)
- Damir (7/5): - Odlične večere i vrlo susretljivo osoblje u restoranu. Svaku večer nekoliko različitih menia.
Vrlo čist bazen. Besplatne ležaljke na svakom čošku. Održavanje sobe vrlo loše za hotel sa 4 *.
Navodim neke:
Jako korodirano sjenilo lampe, korodirana ventilaciska rešetka, granično klimav do ispadanja nosač ručnika, velike bijele fleke na tepisonu, prijelaz sa tepiha na kupaonske pločice bez završetka i podosta zbog toga ocufan rub tepiha, čitač kartice napola izčupan iz zida. Mislim da je dovoljno. Tako nebi trebala izgledati soba sa 4*.
- Patrick (10/5): Super Aufenthalt in Top Lage und Atmosphäre - Super freundliches Personal. Ich bin einen Monat mit dem Motorrad in Kroatien unterwegs und nach drei Wochen kam ich an dieses Hotel. Mit Abstand die beste Location und Übernachtung überhaupt. Die Auswahl am Abendbuffet ist etwas kleiner aber trotzdem ausreichend.
- Marija (8/5): Sunce, more i ja. - Položaj, blizina mora. Ništa posebno mi se nije svidjelo
- Giacomo (10/5): Tappa 5: Italia - Montenegro - La camera con balcone a picco sul mare può bastare? Tre scalini e sei in paradiso.
Personale super accogliente. Posto da favola. Forse il caffè del buffet è da rivedere ;D
- Cvrtnjak (6/5): - Soba je bila prostrana, osoblje uslužno. Posebne pohvale za recepcionarku Anitu koja se stvarno trudi oko gostiju! Hrana u restoranu je ukusna i kvalitetna, ali nedostaje izbora. Doručak je svako jutro identičan što je dosta monotono.. Kolači i voće (svaki dan iste tri vrste..)definitivno nisu na nivou hotela 4 zvjezdice.
- Gerald (8/5): Für Alleinreisende relativ hochpreisig, aber empfehlenswert - Balkon mit Meerblick, gutes Frühstück, freundliches Personal. Check-in ist in einem anderen Gebäude (anderes Hotel)
- MARIA DEL CARMEN (8/5): -
- Piyush (9/5): Superb -
- Hamid (8/5): Very good - locaiton was really beautiful .
very nice view to the water. very clam place to go swimming in the lake.
a very clean and good swimming pool
in general , except a couple of issues (that I mentioned below), it was a good hotel breakfast was simple.
coffee was bad, jsut instant-coffee (you barely get that kind of coffees in a hotel at this price!)
staff not handy and one of them , a kind of , rude, I would say.
some of stuff in the room were broken (shower head had issue, safe broken , cover of door's lock fell off...)
- Gordana (9/5): Superb -
- Patrick (10/5): Well worth a vist but it needs some serious improvement in the sales department - It is a very nice place and easy to walk from the ferry terminal some 10 minutes away. It is clean and quiet peaceful and tranquil good food and great staff. The area around the pool would be a lot nicer if there were cushions for the pool beds
The umbrellas are not in good repair and they would need to be upgraded . Most hotels charge extra money for these services so a small daily fee would not be unreasonable. Some hotels charge extra for pool towels and have a pool attendant who can look after the pool area.
- Lana (10/5): Peace and relaxation - Location, location, location! We spent many hours on our balcony enjoying the superb sea views and many amazing sunrises.
All staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful - top marks!
Good selection of food, esp if you eat meat.
Like some other reviews commented, by modern standards, this is more like a solid 3* hotel than a 4* one, but I find this has been reflected in the price we paid. We will be back! No sea or pool access for people with reduced mobility.
It would be nice to have a cooked vegetarian or vegan meal added to the dinner menu (though I understand there might not be a huge demand for this)
- Metod (8/5): Very good -
- Ela (10/5): Relaxing dream vacation - Everything! We had big spatious room with a magnificent view. Food was remarkable (it reminded me very much of a good homemade food my mom cooks which is rare in hotels). Also the staff was really friendly, special thank you to the kind lady at the reception, you are the best! The coffee for breakfast was a bit weak for our taste, but that is not necesarrily bad, just not like we prefer it.
- Stuart (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ivana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Monika (10/5): Excellent stay - Very quiet place with few tourists
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, from front desk to house keeping staff. The food in the facility was spectacular
- Paulien (7/5): Ok, had expected more - The pool, the view No coffee facilities other than during bresakfast times. The quality of the coffee was poor. I was told I could not park my car in front of the hotel where other guests could. The food in the evening was tasteless.
- Ivana (9/5): Superb -
- Natasa (7/5): The nature on Dugi otok is very beautiful and the people are friendly. - Breakfast and dinner were good, but for a 4* hotel they could have at least had a coffee machine. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the receptionists. The location is nice next to the sea, but we were woken up by the noise of the catamaran every morning at 5:50, and there was no peace in the evening, due to the proximity of the marina and guests on sailboats and in nearby restaurants.
But we could watch the sunrise from the balcony. The mattresses on the beds are bad, the air conditioner on the ceiling was leaking water, the sink in the bathroom was a bit clogged and was slowly gulping water.
- Zoja (10/5): Exceptional - Great view, beach, location, staff, breakfast/dinner. Everything was great.
- Dara (9/5): Great hotel with lovely staff, but poor transport on the island. - Lovely staff. Clean hotel. Great location. The rooms are small and basic, but they are comfortable. They did not have double beds available for us, so they push together twin beds. There was no transport available to Sakarun beach. The local bus is infrequent and travels at inconvenient times. The bicycles available at the hotel do not have good enough brakes for cycling on the steep hills. The only way to travel around the island is to rent a car, boat or scooter (which is very expensive).
- Marko (7/5): Good -
- Stuart (9/5): Superb - The view is fantastic. Right by the sea!! A superb hotel! The island is great too!! Small problem with shower but the staff quickly fixed it during our stay.+
- Petr (8/5): Very good -
- Mike (10/5): Great location on Dugi Otok. -
- Klemen (8/5): Good vacation. - Rooms were clean, staff were nice. The price was okay. They provided electric car charger, which was really nice. Would go again. Not enough place and sunscreens at the pool. No access control to the pool - a lot of people that are not hotel's guest access it. It gets really loud.
- Adam (7/5): Good -
- Joan (9/5): We'll be back! - The location was perfect for a stay on the north side of Dugi Otok. The hotel overlooks the harbor with swimming both in the ocean and pool. If we have to say something... Although the breakfast was fine, but the dinner buffet was good not great.
- Tatjana (4/5): Its very unorganised and not that clean how it looks like on the pictures, (im not picky at all) but i really wasn‘t enj - The view was incredible, the Hotel itself was okay. The lady at the reception when we got here was really nice , and the guys at the bar too. For dinner we were sitting at a dirty table, the windows were extremly dirty too, and our shower was not clean when we got our room. Also we didn‘t even know where the ,,whirlpool‘‘ was which is included in the room via the informations of booking.com. We got wrong informations about the dinner time also and when we wanted to open the door of the restaurant a lady was looking at us and just asking us ,, kuda ce te ?‘‘ . The guy at the reception at the Day of leaving wouldn‘t even ask how our stay was, or if everything was alright. Im very disappointed and will definetly not come again here. We paid over 200 Euros for only one night, and because of the hygienics and some workers it‘s just not worth it.
- Thomas (7/5): Beautiful location but service could be better - The beautiful view, the quiet location around the hotel, the friendly staff in the restaurant and pool bar of Hotel Maxim and the clear water around Bozava. The equipment at the pool area was very old. Only 1 working sun umbrella was there and no additional umbrella was possible when we ask for it. The beautiful Konoba of the Hotel was closed. 5 years ago we could eat in June fresh seefod there. Check out was not possible at the reception of the Hotel Maxim, we had to go to the central reception of the Hotel complex Bozava.
- Anastasia (8/5): Very good -
- Daniel (1/5): very short. we left without refund and decided to book somewhere else - the property was in a beautiful island. although the place it’s self was very outdated it was very outdated and the staff had not listened to out requests giving two single beds rather than a double. they didn’t not want to discuss option and where unreasonable
- Hrvoje (2/5): Very poor - The bed was two twin beds and not one large double bed as described. Windows are dirty and side elements of the bed where broken. Receptionist was not helpful he was laughing on my reclamation.
Bottom line avoid this property if you can
- Basak (10/5): I stayed 6 wonderful days in that heavenly village. Everything was perfect. - Perfect room overlooking the sea. The breakfast and dinner were also perfect. Nothing
- Kresimir (8/5): magnificent dugi otok - nice hotel, great location, abundant breakfast, beautiful and peaceful village Božava -
- Mathew (8/5): Very good -
- Tomasz (3/5): Overpriced definitely not 4 Star hotel with many issues - The location and clean room Many things:
1. It was not possible to use the security lock on my room door.
2. The housekeeping woke me up knocking at 8:00 in the morning to clean the room 😡
3. Balkony door if you slide it from outside it will lock and you can’t get back into your room. There is no warning about it at all. I was lucky to have my phone on me. I called the reception, but no one answered my multiple calls. If I wouldn’t have acquaintances nearby I called and they came to hotel open my door and balcony to free me, I would have option so sleep on balcony (till max 08:00 when they wake you up anyway), climb down 2 floors somehow or shout for help.
4. Around 9:00 when I was still lying naked on the bed, a maintenance guy just simply came in to my room. I asked him if he serious, then he left.
5. When checking in I was given the key and pointed the way my room is, but no information was given about anything like breakfast, wi-if, safe, minibar……
6. The only thing which is 4 star here is the price. This hotel is far from 4 stars. 3 would be a kindness to give them.
7. The shower cabin’ glass door wan nearly falling out of it’s railing.
8. They do have a checkout time at 10:00 which is not a 4 Star hotel time. When I asked it was told that they are very busy. Just to note, there were very few guests. So if they have even to prepare for full occupancy tonight, then they would have plenty of time to clean those few rooms (maybe 4-5) if everyone is checking out today. The checkin time is 16:00, so they need 6 hours to clean these few rooms?
9. The furniture is from socialism in Yugoslavia and the bed is uncomfortable.
- Jitka (6/5): I'd be fine if the hotel was presented as 3* and so we payed less but the hotel is quite 90' style with some par - Location, stuff Not a level of quality we expected for the value.
- Tanja (9/5): Superb -
- Hannah (8/5): Beautiful location, value for money. - location, helpful staff, weather, food, value for money. No beach towels provided, nor cushions for sun loungers/chairs on room balcony. No information pack in room so had to ask reception lots of questions.
- Lucille (6/5): This is an unloved hotel which needs more staff training and customer care - terrific location and comfortable room Breakfast was not good and charged for coffee which should have been included
- Tsvetelina (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was quite good, area is very pleasant for short walks or day trips. Having a balcony over the sea is really nice and the rooms are spacious and comfortable.
- Radoslav (8/5): Very good -
