Really clean and comfortable with a good price / value (the price is a bit higher then other places but there are some unique things that you wouldn’t see, do, try anywhere else).

Staff: we got checked in by Atanas, who was really helpful with our bags and telling us about the history. The waiter rushed to give my partner a blanket once he saw she was cold (that we were happy to settle with a generous tip). Atanas and his colleagues helped us start the car up (we had an ignition problem). Few of many examples that the staff will go out of their way to welcome you.

Facilities: The room: the mattress, the beds, the bathroom had everything we expected and the room was set in the Myak way (though with the comforts of the modern world, like a fridge), which was so culturally refreshing and fun. Food: “Kjain’s desire” desert (in Macedonian “Ќаин мерак”) and loads of other unique delicious Myak meals.

Location: If you are going to Struga or Ohrid, you should definitely think about staying here and dive into the world of another subculture (Myaks were living in the west Macedonia and part of what now is Albania and had their own customs, food, ways..). I would definitely recommend coming here for couple of days if you are up for relaxing in the great green lush mountain nature, different delicious food, less people (more peace), visiting one of the biggest and most important monasteries in the world, if it is fun for you to join the 5:30am :) monastery liturgy monk byzantine chanting, discover their self-sufficient ways and the ways to help others, mountain hikes, e.t.c.

I seldom give a 5, because i believe the item should be outstanding, but at this place even the small non-important challenges are not that many. Also, any money you spend in this place, go towards retaining people in these villages and preventing the village -> city migration.
