"We stayed here overnight on a road trip from Dubrovnik (2 night day in Skradin) to Plitvice National Park on our way to Split the next morning. The property was very clean, the rooms were comfortable, the beds and linens felt new, and it was a very peaceful area overall. We did not use the pool or the other and amenities as we were exhausted after the national park, but we would stay here again. The blond front desk woman with glasses was very warm, welcoming and spoke perfect English."

"Our stay at Apartment Buric was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Our host Zivan was super friendly, really attentive to our requirements and very customer focused. We couldn’t have asked for a better welcome upon our arrival and how we were looked after during our stay. There was ample parking at the residence and the apartment itself was extremely clean, stylish , spacious and well appointed. We had a fantastic view out over the nearby mountains of Plitvice with a full outdoor seating area including a divid double swing chair. The dinner menu plus the breakfast choices on offer were excellent and very reasonable. Breakfast was included with our rate and there was a great selection available. We enjoyed it so much and the hospitality there we did actually enquire if there was any availability for a further nights stay there after we visited Plitvice lakes for the following day but unfortunately they were fully booked but not surprisingly really considering how good the accommodation and food are set up. We would highly recommend Apartment Buric to who was considering a stay in the local area. They were an ideal location to explore the local area and visit the national park of Plitvice lakes with key areas within close reach."
