Falling Lakes Hostel

This hostel was an amazing experience. The front desk staff were very personable and considerate, the accomodations were clean, and the hostel-organized excursions were varied and exciting. I connected with so many lovely guests and ended up extending my stay by two days. This has been the highlight of my long trip so far. This place is a gem and it's because of the people who work so hard to make it that way.

Had such a fun time at this hostel! The most friendly people are here and everyone always wants to chat and play games together and I met some wonderful people. They offer such awesome activities that were a highlight of my trip for sure. I will hopefully go back here and would recommend for anyone travelling solo or otherwise!

Really friendly atmosphere with exceptional staff.

I spent three nights here in order to be close to Plitvice and the surrounding area, and I’m so glad I did. This hostel has great facilities, spacious comfortable dorms, friendly guests and a super helpful staff. The free shuttle to the park is awesome, and their recommended kayak tour is a can’t miss. I wish I’d stayed longer to do the free sunset hike and the big mountain hike but it’s on my list for next time!

Good points: One of my favourite stays ever! From the start staff were friendly, helpful and around all the time. The hostel is clean and tidy, no shoes around the building and the cleaning is done regularly and thoroughly. Everyone was super sociable and so friendly. Loads of information about local activities, advice and a shuttle to take you to and from the local main activity (Plitvice National Park). Rooms were very spacious, huge under bed locker to store all items and lock them away, plenty of space in the room. Lights and plugs at the bed. Toilets and showers were spacious, loads of room, clean and tidy. They were individual showers, so loads of space to place items etc. Bad points: The kitchen was pretty messy, not the staff's fault but people weren't cleaning up after themselves. I paid for the hostel to do my laundry, it was quite expensive (80kuna). I didn't get my washing back until over 24hours later and it was still damp. A little frustrating when I was told I would have it back early evening the same day. Showers were very low pressure.

The hostel itself is very clean and modern. We stayed during a heatwave and there is no aircon in the rooms, the windows don't stay open to let air in, the curtains that are there are pointless as they are white and see throguh and for the pillow they might as well have got some underwear out of lost property they were that thin. Bathrooms and there showers were lovely but not enough of them for the number of rooms/beds.
