The house has shared facilities, featuring modern and newly renovated bathrooms. Guests may also use the common kitchen, fully equipped. Private parking is available on site.

Detailed Reviews
This is a really nice place to stay at in Bled. It is just 2-3 minutes walk to the lake and still so quite. (We had a lovely morning swim in the lake.) And to the Bled park with some restaurants it takes about 5 minutes.
I think most rooms have a balcony. From ours we could see the Bled castle. We had their breakfast basket, which was rather expensive, but to sit on the balcony and eat the lovely local food (bread, eggs, jam, honey, cheese, ham, cherry etc) was fantastic! We are a family of four and ordered breakfast to only three, but it was still too much food for us.
The shared bathroom was no problem. It was big and clean.
Our family room had one double bed and two bunkbeds. The room was big enough for us, but the beds were not so comfy. But hey, this is not a fancy hotel but a great old "vila" you can stay at. I recommend it.

Excellent location and perfect service and amenities. Checking in,our lovely host was so helpful in showing us routes and recommending where we should eat.
Unfortunately, my poor travelling companion fell sick on our first night. She stayed in the following day whilst I went for a walk . I was so grateful to hear the host came up to the room with fresh towels to check if she was ok.
This was above and beyond. The bathroom amenities were kept clean ,which was valued considering that my companion was glued to them the night before.
The location is close to wonderful places to eat and see. So close to bled itself .
The rooms are clean and so lovely.
For the low price, this place is an amazing bargain!!! Highly recommend!
The mattresses are a little on the firm side .

The property is in an excellent location, near the lake (within walking distance), but in a quieter area. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, with lots of good tips for exploring the area! The rooms are simple but spacious. Everything was described in the booking process.

I called them twice on the phone and the user was unreachable. I wrote to them twice by email: firstly for the information needed due to the quick covid tests, secondly whether I can pay the advance through some other method because I don’t have a credit card. After three days, there is still no answer. Their website is made only for foreign English speaking guests. If a Slovenian wants to see rooms and apartments, find out more about their offer and book accommodation, he must read all this in English. After all, this is Slovenia, Slovene website and it must be in Slovene. Other world languages follow.

Having a balcony with the little table and chairs was awesome, there is only one room without a balcony so if it’s important to you be sure you don’t book that one. We booked the room with no balcony by mistake but the receptionist very kindly switched rooms for us.
The coed bathroom was not an issue as we never saw anyone else in there, there’s a bathroom on each floor. Blow dryer was at front desk so if someone doesn’t return it there it ruins it for everyone else.
Kitchen was okay but no toaster or coffee, tea or sugar which would have been nice.
Instructions to get there were excellent as it can be a little confusing until you know your way around.
We had a car and parking was good.
Very glad we stayed here, and thanks again to the nice receptionist.
Btw we did a circle tour with the car we got from Budget in Ljubljana. After Bled we went to lake Bonj, did the waterfall hike, then caught the car train, it was awesome!! Spent the night in Divica and then went to Lipica and Karst before heading back to Ljubljana where we had a place booked. So glad we rented the car and did all this!

Was driving from abroad, roughly 440 km far away after a Friday working day, which ended at 15:30. Previously informed the host by e-mail about the circumstances and difficulties might appear during our trip with regards the strict arrival time of 20:00. We reached AT-SL border at 20:20 and circa 25 mins was left to arrive to the apartment in Bled. The host phoned us right after passing the border saying that he cannot wait anymore. There was no adequate answer to my question why. Additionally, he showed no flexibility, was refusing to wait for us any more time. Then ironically he was hoping that we can find an other accommodation (at night) and said good bye. All in all we were not able to check-in, since his interpretation was that we were late and finally slept in the car. In this COVID-19 time, reintroduced border control, coming from hundreds of kms far away, raining during the trip in Slovenia, we definitely think we were not treated well as guests. The host refused to refund us for the night we paid before. According to our experiences this host and his apartment is not recommended and we are convinced that it is better to avoid, since it is not guest friendly at all.

If budget stay means poor quality and unfriendly staff - then you are right here.
The accommodation does have a great location close to Bled city center, but you should rather stay outside: the hostel beds would have caused back pain if you had the chance to sleep: our room was opposite the bathroom and you could hear everything - there is only one bath room for the entire house (mixed), no separate toilets and three showers that are so small you cannot even take your towel with you.
The staff was not only indifferent but rather rude after our feedback - NEVER AGAIN!

Response from VilaLipa, Front Office at Vila Lipa
Responded Aug 5, 2018
Dear Nicola S, We are sorry to hear you were dissappointed in your stay, however we'd like to address a few issues you've raised. If you felt we were rude or indifferent, we apologize, that was not our intention - we were just trying to argue our point of view. We do live in a democracy, so every party - customers and guests - should have their right to a point of view. ;) Please bear in mind that our property is newly renovated with high quality bathrooms and custom made furniture and decoration, which sets it apart from other similar properties nearby. What you've paid for a private room, you'd be paying in another place for 2 beds in a mixed 6 bed dorm, therefore we can assure you that the price we offer is more than reasonable and well researched. Moreover, the price is market led, had you made your research about nearby properties you would have immediately noticed that we offer among the lowest prices in the area (and you did choose to stay in one ob Bled's fanciest neighborhoods). Last but not least, you have to also take into account that Bled is Slovenia's top destination and therefore prices will go naturally up everywhere for everything. As for the bathrooms, there are actually 3, one on on each floor, which is more than enough even during a full house. The bathroom on your floor was the biggest one and generally guests are very pleased with all bathrooms as they are, as already said, very modern and newly renovated. They are also standard size, so ones that you would easily find in every home. Noise is unfortunately something we cannot do much about, but if you are sensitive to noise, you had every chance to let us know in advance and we would have given you a quietter room. Unfortunately, too many times we receive feedback after a stay, rather then before or during when we can still help. However, you had a private room. Again, for the same price you could have been staying in a dorm with other strangers, that could have potentially woken you up in the middle of the night after a party. This is what we tried to explain you. We do appreciate your feedback, however we tried to kindly explain you that your suggestion is unfortunatley something we currently cannot fullfill from a poinjt of view of a business. We believe that taking a stand for our work and property in which we invested a lot, should not mean we were rude or indifferent and as you very well remember, we did apologize for the noise. Regardless, we wish you all the best, Vila Lipa

What a holiday. Just left Vila Lipa after 3 nights stay, visiting the beautiful Lake Bled. The room we were given was nice and spacious with a lovely balcony on which we enjoyed our breakfast. The host was very lovely, she gave us many recommendations for restaurants and places to visit and was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire stay. The place was very clean, including the bathroom! The Lake is only a couple minutes walk and Vila Lipa is also incredibly close to a summer toboggan which was amazing! I would note that the bed wasn’t too comfortable, but for the price we payed, that’s only very minor. Overall an amazing stay and will attempt to come back as soon as possible :)
Bled as a place is very walkable with lots of places to eat and drink and the views are stunning, a must visit!

Great hotel definitely recommended! We stayed three nights in one of the rooms on the ground floor. Very spacious and a with a nice balcony. We were a bit cold on the first evening and our host immediately turned the heating up and it was perfect afterwards. Our host also gave us very good tips of things to do and places to eat.

SIMPLY PERFECT
Definitely one of the best places we've ever stayed.
This gorgeous VILLA has the perfect location for any kind of activities, It's staff was amazing, always cheerful, always willing to help, It had great facilities, and a BIG yard to enjoy the sunny days. It's located in the heart of Bled, right next to the lake. We stayed in the room with the view of the castle, with a beautiful private balcony to enjoy the sunsets and the view of the lit up castle during the evenings, SIMPLY out of this world. Great and unique stay, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN :-)
