Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The San Korana is a great place to stay to take-in the wonders of the Plitvice National Park for a few days. The host, Ivaca, is simply the most kind, informative, welcoming, and knowledgeable and host we have met, with a sly sense of humour to boot! He definitely knows how to get around the park and loves to share this knowledge to maximize the pleasure of travelers. The house is located in the park within minutes of the main entrance (#1) and minutes from good restaurants (we went to Degenija twice - delicious). The sound of the waterfall is so southing! On a Sunday afternoon, we were searching for a grocery store (many are closed), Ivaca suggested some places and even offered us to cook a meat pie for us! We booked the upper floor, but had all the place to ourselves.

Superhost, great location, really special atmosphere, with own waterfall, which also acts as free white noise generator:) Unique opportunity to be hosted by the retired manager of the national park. He knows everything about it and has a lot of stories, worth to calculate some time, and just listen to him. If you don't feel you have time for this kind of things, maybe this is not the place for you. I am sure he still will be very nice, but you will miss sometng special.

Beautiful and peaceful place, try nature experience. Ivica the owner will do everything he can to make you enjoy your stay. He was a ranger at Plitvice and can guide you to secret places in the reserve. Having for dinner vegetables that he picked from his garden on the fire camp he made was a unique far to table experience.

If you go to Plitvice Lakes, do yourself a favor and try to book a room in San Korana house. The window view, the coziness, tranquility, sound of waterfall which is just below the house...simply gorgeous. This place is a paradise!!! And the owner Mr. Ivica is not only incredibly kind, witty and hospitable, but is also a human encyclopedia! We booked only 1 night but this year we'll definitely stay longer. I can't recommend this house enough! <3

We had the best time here. The place is beyond beautiful and the Ivica is the friendliest host! Very close to Plitvice Lake but without all the chaos. We were able to cook and BBQ here but there are also many restaurants nearby. There is a waterfall on the property and Ivica and his wife are helpful and kind. This is our second time here and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for everything!

beautiful location, right next to a waterfall. Quiet, and with parking in front of the door.
Just a few minutes from the Plivitce Lakes.
Very friendly welcome from Ivica, who also has lots of information and tips for visiting the park.

We booked this place following recommendations here, and booking is very easy via the website and no deposit was required.

You certainly need a car, and it was a little difficult to find, being in quite an isolated enclave, but incredibly picturesque one. After arrival we went for a stroll and to take photos, it's right by a small brook and feel very local and traditional, we made friends with a number of neighbouring pets on our walk. Very peaceful setting.

All good so far, but couple of pointers - firstly the owners are very keen to point you in the direction of one restaurant for dinner - which is just a tourist trap with an uninspiring menu or meat/veg dishes or pizza. So avoid this and find your own.

Secondly, don't book the breakfast - we wanted something reasonably early 7.30 so we could get ahead of the crowds at Plitvice, but the owners obviously didn't want to be up so early, saying most tourist like to sleep in, which I find rather strange. Anyway we agreed on 8.30 in the end. But in the morning no one was around, and no sign of breakfast. We ended up calling the emergency number we had been given and the owners son said go to the neighbours house, where breakfast was served in their garage!! It was just cereal, jams, cheese and bread and a flask of coffee, so hardly an effort, so don't know why we couldn't have had this earlier. Just felt rather odd and a bit neglected.

We spent three nights at Sobe San Korana, and stayed on the second floor in room 2.

Ivica is the epitome of why you stay at a bed & breakfast. He is the absolute best in personal service! He and his wife live downstairs on the first floor. She doesn't speak much English, and will refer you to her husband.

The waterfall in front of the home is nicer than many of the falls we witnessed in Plitvice Lakes National Park! And wandering around Korana can be a very picturesque experience as well.

Ivica will recommend restaurants for you. All were very good and devoid of tourists, yet the staff still spoke English. He can also point you in the direction of the nearest ATMs and grocery stores, as well as souvenier shops (which were in the national park).

We told him we planned on two full days at Plitvice Lakes. He hand drew a map and schedule for us, told us where to park for free, and told us to take Route C from P3 all the way through the park. This will all make sense after you see a map of the park.

On the second full day, Ivica had planned on showing us some hikes outside of the park. We didn't know this, and had purchased a two day pass for the national park. You could definitely spend two days in the park, but we wished we'd been able to see the places he wanted to show us outside of the park as well.

Ivica made breakfast for us twice. He cooked eggs, and had breads and juices available for us as well.

Your room and bathroom are clean upon arrival, but not touched during your stay. You are in charge of your own cleanliness. Wifi was free and surprisingly fast, the fastest we had during our entire trip.

Our only complaint was the strong smell of cigarette smoke coming from the ground floor. We don't know if it's Ivica, his wife, or both who smoke, but the odor was so strong we had trouble sleeping or enjoying breakfast. The smoke was coming from inside the house, and even with our door and window closed it was still very strong.

In Sept. 2008 my husband and I had the great opportunity to travel around northern Croatia. At the top of our list of places to visit was Plitvice National Park. We easily went by bus from Zagreb and found our accomodations once there. Our lodging was with a wonderfully charming and VERY peaceful sobe (or B&B) 2 miles from the park. It is a family run sobe named San Korana. Here is their link www.sankorana.com The owner is Ivica Luketić. He and his family could not have been more friendly and helpful in making our stay pleasant, peaceful and INTERESTING. There is a local grocery store (to pick up supplies to make meals in the shared kitchen) OR a pleasant restaurant (both) a mile or so down the road. This sobe was charming, clean, and comfortable, located in a small streamside village (including water-powered grist mill where we watched local villagers grinding their corn) shortly downstream from the national park. The quiet, rural village was located in a beautiful valley and was the perfect refuge after each busy day in the national park.

Ivica speaks English well, is very friendly and concerned about his customer’s welfare, and is very knowledgeable and concerned about the park and the local ecology. We very much enjoyed our conversations with him (and his family) about the Park and its natural history, his family, Croatia, and more. (And of course, we enjoyed our 3.5 days in the Park along the lakes and waterfalls, and exploring the uplands of the native beech forest, following Ivica's suggestions.)

We hope you find this information helpful. Enjoy Croatia!

This place looks as if it has come out of a fairy tail. The beautiful property sits in the tiny village of Korana inside Plitvica national park. A crystal clear stream, complete with waterfall boarders this property and is a perfect place to swim after getting back from an amazing hike around the national park. Everyone was very accommodating and took the time to plan out our entire time in the parks. This will forever be my favorite bed and breakfast. It is an amazing place and to stay anywhere else would be just stupid.
