Penzión Dubo

Very clean, nice interior, very nice rooms, comfortable beds, ski/snowboard storage, clean bathrooms, ski rent shop next to the place, parking space in front of the place

Check-in hours are only available up to 7PM. I've asked the host via booking if there is a possibility to check-in later, he replied in Slovak (I had to use Google Translate) that there's a possibility to do that and gave me his phone number. In the day of my arrival, he called me, frustrated, that I should have called him otherwise I'd be sleeping in my car. The most confusing part is that, there's an entire system for people arriving late figured out - there's a box with code next to the entry door with the key inside it. The only thing I needed to know was the number of the box and the code. Host's frustration was redundant and unfounded, because we simply could have solved everything via email. We're living in 21 century and I'm using booking.com not to have to call people.

The location was nice - exactly between Liptovskyy Mikulas and Jasna ski resort, which makes it fairly easy to go skiing in the first half of the day, and walk / travel by bus to the city in the evening. The room was small, but enough for two people. clean and with a balcony.

1. I would prefer to have a radiator in the room - it would be easier to dry the wet clothes from skiing. 2. Wifi was slightly weak - if you wanted to talk on the phone, it was possible only from one point inside the room. 3. There was no breakfast, which could have been a nice edition as otherwise we had to prepare something ourselves in the room without a kitchen or any facilities to do so. Apparently, it's due to renovation, but not sure. 4. Although booking mentioned no pre-payment was needed, the host contacted us and asked for a pre-payment of at least 50%, which had to be done through a bank transfer, causing additional fees. 5. The host was not responsive to emails / questions about the property in advance and hard to reach.
