Hostel Soca Rocks — Hotel in Bovec

Huh boy, decided to end my love of life prematurely and register myself to compete on the annual Bovec marathon, because at least it would give me a reason for running, where I wont feel shame for myself constantly escaping the clutches of adulthood responsibilities. I decided that it’d be better to book a hostel and get a good night sleep before the big race, so I found Hostel Soča Rocks to be a suitable place. Drove there and arrived in the nighttime, a lovely staff member showed me the ropes of the place and I went directly to my dorm and decided that an early sleep would be a good strategy to keep myself sane from the incoming treacherous undertaking of the marathon. ||||But here’s the thing. My not-so-good brain booked a hostel for a good night sleep. Now, this is something my mind pondered when I was driving, but I was hoping human decency is still alive in 2021 and people would be considerable enough not to shout like wounded orangutans in the vicinity of sleeping people. I was indeed wrong. After three hours of listening to random drunken yelling, shutting of the doors, some guy running in and out of the room and some loudmouth Californian loudmouth trying his best to impress a girl from the southern part of Wyoming (why I know this, cos I heard the whole conversation coming from the balcony next door) I finally managed to shut my eyes for good. At least until the same drunk Cali goodfornothing entered the room and started snoring like I was passively watching a sea lion documentary without the soothing voice of late David Attenborough. Imagine that if you will…||||Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I did what I always do in these kind of situations - I freaked the guy out. I went to the Caliman and acted like a crack-smoking lunatic, shouting absurd sentences with a thick southern accent: “hey gitti up Calidude, we gotta go feed the ducks before they find out we be smokin' that dank plow”. He woke up very confused looking at a man desperately trying to look he was out of it. He asked “What…what’s going..?” “Shut it skeeter, they’ll hear ya, no git up!” I managed to get him up and we ran like a pack of paranoid gazelles down the corridor. “Whats happening? Where are we running too?!” he shouted like a confused donkey. “We gotta hide, Marshall, I’ve seen them pigges down ther’ looking for ya lawnmower candy!” - “what?!” - “Your damn Mary Jane, ya dang guffed! Wyioming chick called the cops on ya, now run to the gas station and I’ll let ya know when the cost is clear! And don’t mention me, I like to keep it clear here in dis parts.”||||He indeed ran and I went back to sleep. I saw him the next morning, sleeping in the kitchen. The staff was awfully nice and caring, but Jesus Christ take care of the noise and loud...

All the staff I engaged with were social and easy to talk to. I came here to river kayak as a birthday treat. I was made to feel welcomed from checking in to check out, I was gifted a free beer for turning 30.

I stayed in a 6 bed dorm with a drop down storage, me personally only used this for sleeping and power napping in the afternoon. The hostel upkeep is spanking clean, the cleaner does a hell of a job, including the bar and admin staff.

the location is not too far from the small town and I enjoyed the stroll. Everything here is within walking distance. I loved how everything were organised with great mannerism.

The amenities - the kitchen was small for me as I like to take space, so I abandoned my time to cook which was the best call as the food nearby is amazing.

There were adequate seating for everyone but as a solo adventurer my best place was at the bar which was stocked full of Laskos. Also, shower early in the morning like 6am and maybe when you come back from kayaking at 4pm otherwise there is a mad rush. Other than that enjoy a calm relaxing environment whilst drinking the night away on Lasko beer.

I enjoyed my time here,...
