We enjoyed the unique style of this property -it was quaint, quiet and the beautiful greenery and landscaping made it a cozy place to relax. The stones in the parking lot made it more challenging to move our heavy luggage. For the price we paid, we would have liked more breakfast options that weren't so starch/bread heavy, as I am gluten-free and my boyfriend has diabetes. There were a lot of desserts/cereal/breads, but couldn't have any of them and I'm not a fan of having cured meat and cheese for breakfast. Other than that, this is definitely a stay worth considering!

Super simple and basic accommodation, staff at check in provided useful information, other staff didn’t provide caring customer service. WLAN super slow, staircase to room super tight. No restaurant like the description said, plus sauna is an extra charge of 20€/h, jacuzzi didn’t exist anymore. It was ok for staying one night, but please change the description.

We booked on expedia. We stayed here as it had a higher hotel rating. When we checked in we were shown to a small outdoor building in centre of the parking lot. Cars were parked on all sides. When we went into the building it was a small room with a small table and very narrow spiral staircase going up to twin beds. You couldnt take luggage up. The bathroom was off the front door. The toliet was not attached properly to floor and shower was the same. When we used them water leaked on the floor. There was hardly any toilet paper or towels. We could hear people all day and night as they were coming and going in parking lot (where our room was). we just made the best of it.

Not as advertised
Definitely not as pleasing as was advertised. The rooms are much smaller and not as nice as in the pictures and the condition of the stairs was quite literally shaky. To our surprise there was no restaurant at the hotel and the staff was baffled when we asked, despite it being mentioned in the hotel description and the keycard had the opening hours listed. So silly us I guess? What was not mentioned however, was that we could not pay our room with a credit card (which we later found out is highly unusual for this area) and finding a working ATM in this semi-secluded area is a pain. Overall I would not recommend and for anyone looking for accommodation in the area I would suggest choosing one of the nearby slightly more expensive options.

The hotel is in a nice location (close to Plitivce park) and the room was clean however the main lady working at check is SOOOOOO incredibly and unnecessarily rude. I will definitely not stay here ever again especially considering that apparently the hotel right across the street is great. The only reason I chose this hotel was because of the pool but it’s not heated and was so freezing cold my kids couldn’t stay in it for long. There are definitely better options.

Plitvice - June 2023
In the middle of nowhere which we expected but the Hotel itself was good. Room was smaller than we thought it would be but fine for 2 nights stay. Shower was super nice & powerful!!! There is a restaurant called Veronica’s (something like this) about 15 minute walk away which sells pizza and burgers, was ok but the waitresses (twins?) a barrel of laughs ( I’m being sarcastic). A further walk into the woods (maybe another 10 minutes was another restaurant called Pollyanna (again not the actual name but what we called it). Beautiful scenery and good food - Staff were lovely! The park itself as beautiful and well worth the price… The big waterfall is something else… A choice of several walks at different distances to walk, we did H which took about 3.5 hours. Definitely go to the park AM as in the afternoon it gets extremely busy! Also bring waterproofs/ umbrella and good walking shoes/trainers.

It was close to the park of Plitvice which is what we wanted. Staff was friendly. If you choose the "pay later" option at booking time, be aware they only take cash. Same for charges at their restaurant.

Our experience started positively with a smooth check in and was escorted by a really welcoming staff to our room. Cash only even for your room fee - a few reviewers mentioned it so we got cash beforehand. Not a lot of bank ATMs in the Plitvice area. Unless if you want someone to scold at you, do not touch the coffee machine right next to the reception area. The “I have no name” staff takes great pride in policing that self serve machine. Putting up a sign would be more efficient and less confusing. The room is clean and basic. If you’re planning to get groceries for your lake picnic the following day, keep in mind the fridge was not plugged in luckily we checked immediately after we got into the room. Wi-Fi pretty much nonexistent. Took forever to connect, and very spotty if you got lucky and got in. No shower door and the shower glass leaked. Had to use our towels to stop the water flowing outside

Super clean, nice blend of rustic and modern decor. The family that runs the place is so friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back; they are located about 7 minutes down the road from Plitvice Lakes National Park.

Great location but service needs improvements
It’s right in the Plitvicka Jezera National Park, making it very convenient to visit the park early in the morning to avoid the crowds from tourist groups. The room was clean and the breakfast was good. However, the staff was not service oriented or friendly. When my wife asked them to replace a glass with broken edge, they were very reluctant to do so.

Etno House is Idyllic.
A pleasure to stay at Plitvice Etno House. A lovely family run business, kept in immaculate condition. The dinners are a lovely homely touch to an outdoor day. Breakfast was great. Although there is little around except the beautiful National Park, Etno House is all encompassing of their guests needs. Highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel incredibly close to the national park. Really no need to stay at the national park as you can drive within minutes from here. Polite staff, good selection for breakfast and beautiful rooms. Also a swimming pool but we didn't get to use it as it was raining when we were there. Only one improvement, the hotel only accepts payment in cash so recommend that you visit the local ATMs if needed. Would be useful if the hotel could get a card reader.

A fair bit of money looks to have been spent here. Lovely marble floors. Everything clean, good beds and shower. There are very pleasant areas on different levels around the pool to sit. It is about 10 min drive to Plitvice Lakes entrance 2. Food was pretty good if a tad uninspired, but there is not a lot of option is this area, especially if you don't have a car or like a drink. There is a pretty OK pizza place in walking distance, but if you are going to walk, take a torch. Definitely a very good choice to stay for visiting the lakes, which are unique and stunning

Don’t believe all the awful reviews!
Having read many reviews about poor food and poor service here, was pleasantly surprised to find neither poor! Staff were efficient and friendly and food tasty and plentiful provided you are entering expecting Dalmatian cuisine and a European breakfast rather than a full English! Room was a little snug for two tall people with sloped ceilings being on top floor, and air con I couldn’t figure out and managed to end up heating myself (but sure that was just me!) also strange to have two separate single duvets on a double bed!...otherwise rooms good...fridge and hairdryer hand and good shower! Location for Plitvice entrance 2 was also perfect...5 min drive or 30min walk (along the main road and not for everyone although we didn’t mind it!) If I were to stay in the area again, would definitely consider returning here

Great little room. Comfy bed. Dinner if you want it is good. We had an early start so they made us a packed lunch instead of breakfast which we thought was a lovely gesture. They have a pool, gym and sauna there but we didn’t use as we had a one night stay.

A slightly quirky family run hotel. Everyone is friendly and helpful, the rooms are regularly renovated and the hotel is close to entrance 2 of the Plitvice National Park. The hotel won’t take credit cards but will take payment in other currencies including Euros and Sterling.

This is a very new facility with clean, basic furnishings. The bathroom was very nice. It's on a busy highway and I heard traffic all night long. Also, be aware that they only accept cash in their currency. When I went to check out, I had to go to an ATM in the park entrance to get Kn. She said it was in the Travelocity booking agreement but I couldn't find it. A great place to stay before going to the waterfall park! Breakfast was very good and homey.
