Kekčeva domačija — Hotel in Bovec

Nature and property are indisputably magical and among the most beautiful places you can visit in Slovenia. Mitja and Joži are incredible hosts. They care about every detail because they love what they do and genuinely enjoy hosting people who are willing to trust them. Every meal is prepared and served by owners - delicious and honest cuisine paired with incredible award-winning wines produced by their own winery Ducalwines. I was blown away by the quality of everything we enjoyed during my recent 4-day stay at the property with my family and friends. Another thing that surprised me was the friendly and warm atmosphere created by the owners, which connected everyone staying at the property. Kekceva Domacija doesn't give you the feeling of staying in a small boutique hotel - it feels like you are a special guest in someone's private home/property who wants to be your host and introduce you to everyone in their home. The closest I experienced the same feeling was at Branson's Necker Island—a very different setting but a similar philosophy of service and hosting!

We had lots of fun at Kekceva Domačija with other guests. Everyone was very open to sharing their Trenta adventures, and on the last day of our stay, we spontaneously decided to all join a hike guided by the owners to see the Soča River spring.

I highly recommend Kekceva Domacija to those who want to stay a few days in Slovenia's most beautiful Alpine setting. The quality and level of service are well worth the price...

We made a reservation for two nights. However, we did not feel comfortable upon arrival; the artsy room pictures from the website suggests tastfully decorations but our room, "Kekec", was dark and cheaply furnished without basic ammenities such as shampoo, wifi or a water cooker. We had dinner at the hotel: pasta appetizer, soup and...... dessert. An interesting combination, that's all I have. The next morning, after a nice breakfast, we wanted to check out. The owners told us that we had to pay for two nights, matching the reservation. I argued that we only consumed one night so we should only pay for one night. There are no T&C in their booking system that provides guidance in this discussion but the aggression in the responses of the owners was so frightening my wife almost cried and I was ready to pay for two nights, just to get out of there. Surprisingly, I had to pay 233 euro, 1 night for two pax, dinner and cappucinos. It is impossible to check the cost breakdown, there is no cost specification on the bill; they can make up the prices as they go since during our stay did not see any prices of consumptions. Clearly, the cappucinos are not included in the breakfast. So, if you like to be shouted at or if you want to feel claustrofobic in this wide open landscape, this hotel is for you.

My advice for daily visitors: be aware that this is a private property, the owners are lofty and eager for those who would be willing to spend more (eg take a room). But above all, they highly value their peace and that you do not disturb them. So be prepared, come with a sandwich and a drink, take a look and before get into the potential conflict with owners, leave on time. My experiance was one big dissapointment concerning the attitude of the owner on this property. Was a daily visitor, and there is no service for guest that have no room reservation. Mostly I was accompained by a feeling that you are unwelcome and a sense that it would be most appropriate to leave right away. To be clear, I understand now that this is accomodation with beds, is not a bar, much less a restaurant. If get lucky you get overpriced drink, on cash only, without a price list and invoice issued. I highly advice against to come thirsty or hungry. Guest is, according to what I was told, are meant only those which stay overnight. Manager was rude, what was really unpleasent. I very much regret that Slovenia do not present such a pearl...
