Barbra was so wonderful! Her place is super clean, and a 5 minute walk from the lake. She was super helpful with tips for local activities and where to eat.

Für eine Nacht super, Einrichtung nicht mehr auf dem neuesten Stand und sehr laute Betten aber sehr nette Besitzerin des eher familiären Hostels :)

Brilliant. Close to lake Bled and in a nice, quiet area. Barbara is extremely helpful and gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit and sightseeing opportunities. Couldn’t have been better.

This was a great stay!! Barbra was so so sweet and fells like you're staying in her home kinda. It was very small but very easy to meet good people. Great location and the balcony was amazing!! Would stay again. A little pricier than some hostels, and cause its so small you need to make your own fun but bled has so much to do, and was super easy to chat and meet people in the hostel. loved it!

Honestly the kindest and best hostel host you could wish for, regularly checks in in the morning with a smile, and the small number of people in each room made it really quite reasonable. Great price, not a party hostel, just a fantastic place to stay! Facilities were perfect too.

Ich habe mich im Sobe Smolej sehr wohl gefühlt, Barbara hat mich sehr nett in ihrem kleinen Hostel aufgenommen. Man lernt super schnell die anderen Reisenden kennen und wird durch die gemütliche Atmosphäre schnell eine Gruppe. Also super familiäre Atmosphäre und perfekt um andere Reisende kennenzulernen

Small, clean, quiet hostel. The staff is friendly and the location is good. However, there are no evening activities or a large common area to enjoy. If you are looking for a quiet place to spend the night, this is the right place.

This is a very small hostel, so it's more like a B&B, but with shared rooms. The location is good, I think. Very close to the steps up to the castle, and in a quiet, nice area. Much of Bled was very noisy with plenty of tourists, loud music, and the like. The bed was made already, which is rare for hostels in general, and that I appreciated a lot. Barbara was a great host, very friendly, and ready to provide the information needed to have a good time in Bled. A big plus is that there's a kitchen

We stayed in Hostel Smolej as a family in the 4 bed dorm in August. The hostel is clean and really well situated, but the best thing about it is Barbara, who is a fantastic host. She went well above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, and she’s a font of knowledge on Bled. Thanks Barbara, we had a wonderful stay!

This place has such a lovely homey feel with a great kitchen and balcony. Barbara is so incredibly kind and responsive to emails. I had gotten into a cycling accident and the hostel I was staying at was completely booked up. She let me check in early which was super helpful. Fantastic location next to the Mercator store and very close to the lake. Because it’s a smaller hostel you can easily meet other people. The kitchen has some free pasta, spices, etc. Highly recommend!

Très bon emplacement à quelques minutes seulement du lac et des restaurants. Un supermarché en face, très pratique ! Tout s'est bien passé. La chambre était un peu petite pour 4, qu'une toute petite fenêtre et une literie à revoir. Des multiprises seraient un plus car très peu de prises dans la chambre à portée de nos lits. Une seule salle de bain à l'étage des chambres (une salle de bain et des WC au RDC si besoin mais pas très pratique). Cuisine et petite terrasse correctes. Me...

Nice people, laid back hostel that is clean and has free parking. Not much common space so it’s not the best option if you’re looking make friends. The woman who runs it is very nice and helpful.

Great location, just minutes away from the main bus station. I appreciate that the hostel had A/C and it was small so it felt really homie. Barbara, the owner, was very nice and helpful. Please keep in mind that this is CASH ONLY for now. There is a grocer my store just steps away and the lake is about a 5min walk. Beds were really comfortable as well. Would recommend this hostel.

Quiet hostel with a little bit of a social atmosphere as the only common area is the kitchen. It was in a good location, 5 minutes walk to the lake and nearby other hostels. I would recommend as it was clean and quiet but on the more expensive side if you are on a budget
