Guestbook
We had a wonderful stay at Riverview. It’s a beautiful home with comfortable lounge area as well as a kitchen table which is great to gather around. Lots of utensils, pots and pans too. The bedrooms are spacious and bathrooms are new. We had a small hiccup which Think Slovenia addressed quickly and we could not have asked for more. Recommend for sure.

Stayed here as two families with a toddler each. Loved the generous common area downstairs and the fact that we each had a floor (bed + bathroom) to ourselves. Good home base to explore Bohinj and Bled. Fully equipped kitchen to cook and enjoy family meals.
