Turistična kmetija Sirk

Frühstück mit vielen selbstgemachten Lebensmitteln, sehr positiv.

WLAN Verbindung war leider nicht immer sehr konstant.

Wir sind auf Durchreise gewesen, die Lage dafür ist sehr gut. Es gibt genügend Parkplätze direkt am ruhig gelegenem Haus, die Eigentümerin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Betten sind ok. Das Frühstück war sehr reichlich und bestand hauptsächlich aus hausgemachten Spezialitäten. Gerne wieder!

The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were greeted with a glass of their own house wine, which was so delicious that we’re actually planning to come back by car just to stock up! We are on a special diet and had a few requests for the kitchen, and everything was prepared perfectly. We were also traveling with our dog, who was very welcome. We were hiking and had some trouble figuring out how to get to the nearby town on our way back, and the owner simply gave us a ride for free. Such kind, generous and positive people. The surroundings are beautiful, and you are staying on a real farm, so you really get a taste of rural life. We felt very comfortable and genuinely welcome here.

We were looking for a spot to rest along our way back up north from holidays in Croatia. There were several places we considered, this one was chosen due to very high rating and late check-in hours. The place was more or less fine, but we would not stop there again. The hosts were welcoming, but there were couple of things that I will list in the negatives section, which make us not keen to return there again.

1. Description claimed that the spot is in a quiet location with great views. Sort of. There is a nice view to one side, but the other side is a thriving farm with LOTS of cows. For some reason the cows mooed all night long and continued mooing in the morning. The windows had to stay closed, otherwise it would be difficult to sleep. On the plus side, with the windows closed, the mooing was greatly silenced. 2. Due to having windows closed we had to use the AC. Unfortunately in the room we occupied the AC has no gravitational drain for the condensate, instead there is a pump which gets activated periodically. There are two issues with it. It is quite loud and wakes you up. It is also not working correctly, because at some point water started to run on the wall behind the AC, clearly coming from the AC. 3. There's supposed to be a fully equipped kitchen for guests. There is only a microwave and you have to unplug the kettle to use the microwave. There were no utensils, we had to ask for them. 4. Upon check-in we were asked to hand over our passports, which were taken by the person greeting us and our data was transferred to some application on a pad. Maybe it's some Slovenian regulation, but we haven't had this happen to us in a while. 5. When we informed the hosts that we do not intend to buy dinner, breakfast or lunch, just use the kitchen for guests, we were informed that there is an additional "registration fee" that has to be paid when passports are added to the "registration app". We were told that the fees already paid through Booking.com were for local income and environment taxes, but this is something separate. We were asked to pay additional 3 euro per person. This was only mentioned after we refused offer to buy breakfast at the establishment. It seemed to us, that if we agreed to buy breakfast, the fee would be waived. Not sure about this. It was very strange.
