    Room was all beds. No seating. Need more electrical outlets. Pillows and beds uncomfortable. Lumpy and mattress stained. Thank goodness for sheets!

    Location great for hiking into mountains. Nice having a restaurant on the property. Nada our hostess was great. Comfortable environment for meeting other hikers.

    Awesome location that is family run by a lovely mother and her energetic son. Loved the fried pancake, it’s a hidden gem on the menu. They also went far and beyond to send my forgotten glasses back to me. These are very good and kind people.

    - The food was fine, but we thought the other places nearby were a bit nicer (breakfast, however, was great!)

    - Perfect location for starting the kissing cats and volusnica hikes, can’t get any better. - Like another review said; you can’t really expect 5-star luxury at the foot of the mountains. It has all the things you need; a nice bed, a hot shower and the most stunning views of the mountains!! - We booked a private cabin, so we did not have any issues with noise from our neighbours.

    It would have been better if the hut was not divided in two, so there's absolutely no intimacy. Breakfast could be better.

    First, the location is just great. Maja Karanfil Bungalows is the last accomodation in the Grebaje Valley, so one can fully enjoy an unobstructed view of the stunning Prokletije Mountains. The bungalow that we were given is actually a small wooden hut (hut no. 6), with three beds and a bathroom on the ground floor and a queen bed + one more bed upstairs (up the ladders). The downside is that the hut is divided vertically in two identical parts, so you are a thin wooden wall away from your neighbours. Needless to say, you can hear everything going on on the other side, and that goes both ways. For breakfast, you can choose between an omelette, french toast, etc, plus a coffee or a tea. Not a big choice and not so abundant, but at least it's something. Hosts are kind although struggling due to lack of staff.

    Noice from the neighbors in the twin cabins. We could practically hear every word they said. Bring earplugs so it won’t be a problem. The internet is not reliable and only works sometimes. That seems to be a general issue in Montenegro so plan ahead well in advance.

    Perfect location near great hiking trails. The view is simply amazing. Friendly atmosphere and kind hosts.

    The walls are very thin, so be aware that you can hear everything from the other room.

    The host was absolutely perfect, helped us with everything we needed and made us feel at home. The restaurant was very good. There was great Wi-Fi in the entire area. We started a great hike near the cabin with beautiful view.

    What a beautiful place to stay! Probably the best view in the valley. The bungalow was clean, cosy and comfortable with a fridge, ensuite, a coffee maker and even a hairdryer. The host was very helpful, informative and hardworking. His parents were also very helpful despite the language barrier. We had an excellent stay and would definitely recommend this place!

    The bathroom is really small, if you're not careful, everything gets wet when you're showering. But we knew this in advance.

    Very friendly staff and excellent location! Right near the hiking trails. You can get a simple breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed our stay. The huts are basic but good enough to sleep.

    Very happy they stayed open for us at the end of their season. Been here multiple times and staff is commutative and location is perfect. Just know that off season the restaurants on the road aren’t open and options in town are limited. But still a great stay.
