  : What makes this place is the friendly, generous, and considerate owner who cares about his customers. Alek also handed out vouchers for a 15% discount at some restaurants in town which was a great plus all week and saved us a fortune on meals. It was indeed my second visit and will visit again.

  : Alek is a very friendly host who lives downstairs. The rom was low-cost but we didnt spend much time there anyway so its fine. If youre looking for a place to just lay your head down for a cheap price after the whole day at the beach, its a way to go. The kitchen and the terrace is outside and shared with other guests. The fridge is in the hall (also shared). The room only has a tiny balcony (for 1 chair) and a bathroom. Vrboska centre is within walking distance. There is an AC in the room.
  : There was only 1 plug in the room (+1 in the bathroom) so it was a challenge to charge more than 1 phone or device at a time. You can solve this easily by bringing an extension cord with you when you stay there. Closing the bathroom door takes a bit of practice.

  : The accommodation is close to the sea, but unfortunately there is no view of the sea, only of the houses. There is a shared, large barbecue area. The surrounding is quiet. It was written in the comments that there is no hot water. I will protect the owner because there is hot water, you just have to wait because there is a solar system. Hot water was fine.
  : I have been going to the Croatian coast for 25 years, of which 15 years to Vrboska. I have a basis for comparison. The host seems nice, but when we were not at the accommodation, he entered the apartment. Therefore, we would have filed a report in Hungary immediately! We did not deal with it here. Our apartment had two rooms. In one room, we changed the sheets upon arrival because it was full of black hairs. We have a picture of that too. One day after arrival, we reported that the refrigerator was not cooling, no matter how much we set it to maximum. The answer was we put a lot of things in, let's take some out. Unfortunately, the situation did not get any better after that. The ice batteries did not freeze in a week. This refrigerator is enough for a maximum of 2 people, but certainly not for 5. There were no chairs, no cutlery, nothing for 5 people. We brought in a plastic chair from outside. We washed the plates because they were dirty and we also cleaned the bathroom, where the dirt was thick. We also brought cleaning tools, they were not in the accommodation either. During Covid, this situation was a bit strange. There is air conditioning, but we only used it a little because it wasn't cleaned either. It had black dirt on it. Reading previous comments, I saw that the bathroom door is difficult to close. Unfortunately, this has not changed since then. The socket in the bathroom does not work, so you cannot dry your hair in front of a mirror. The toilet seat cannot be folded up because it falls back. Water flows from the kettle. We also rented a room. In short: it's dirty, there's only one socket, the window can't be closed. In the end, during my 25 years of vacation, this was the only accommodation where I had to pay in advance. It was the second week of a two-week vacation. I also wrote an opinion about the other accommodation on another island, there were 10 points in all. So I don't think the problem is with me.
