“perfect place perfect hosts and at such a price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2010

Having spent a week on Ciovo Island how to get to Kamena Lodge. No problem for Glyn and Ann ,Glyn came and picked us up. On arrival we were greeted as guests, during our stay we were treated like family, and on leaving (sadly) we felt like we were leaving as friends. A 15 minute bus ride from the centre of Split but no problem, Glyn will run you in. No air conditioning, no problem fans are provided. Want to eat out no problem ,Glyn and Ann will advise you were to go. Want to eat in no problem Glyn and Ann will cook for you, marvelous mussels, brilliant barbecues and an honesty bar and a small swimming pool included. As you can read to these hosts nothing is a problem this place is fabulous and the best value for money place we have ever stayed in. Oh and this is the first time we have ever stayed in a hostel it was wonderful.We hope to be back

“Great value and very friendly hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010

We stayed in a private double room for 2 nights in Sept 2010. Room was very nice and clean - great value for money. We were only people there on first night but Ann and Glynn made us very welcome. 3 others arrived the next night and we all stayed for Glynn's homecooked chicken meal. Very tasty! And wine was included in the price! We had a hire car so didn't mind that we weren't in the centre of Split. There is a small convenience store 50m up the road, and a large supermarket a couple of miles away. We didn't get a chance to try out the pool but it looked inviting!

“Fantastic hospitality at a reasonable price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

Glynn and Anne are the perfect hosts. They made us very welcome and suggested some excellent outings to Krka Falls etc. Glynn operates his own taxi service and was our personal tour guide. However if you want to be on your own - no problem. You won't be pestered by Glynn, Anne or anyone else. They organised everything at a much cheaper rate than other agents. Facilities at Kamena Lodge are very clean, the pool being an excellent place to rest. We enjoyed the fish BBQ and general ambience within Kamena Lodge. Its easy to get to Split using the local bus. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone.

“A hidden gem and just what we needed after Sail Croatia - I'll be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2010

My friend and I (two 23 y/o girls from Australia) stayed at Kamena Lodge in July 2010. We loved every minute of our stay and wished we had booked for longer. We'd done a 7 day Sail Croatia tour, then travelled up north, so when we got back to Split all we wanted was a relaxing, homlely and comfortable place to stay - Kamena was all of this plus more.

Glynn and Ann have made this place a real 'home away from home'. They are so friendly, willing to give you great advice on the town and make you feel like you're visiting long lost friends. It was fairly quiet when we were there, but we hear the BBQs and drinks in the courtyard are a really great night.

The pool, kitchen and cosy outdoor area were facilities we didn't come across much in Europe, so it was lovely to be able to make our own breakfast in the morning.

As it's probably obvious from other reviews, Kamena Lodge is not in the main town of Split, but rather about 10 minutes drive up the mountain. Glynn picked us up from the bus station, and there were regular public buses into town so it was no problem at all being a little way out - in fact we enjoyed the peace and quiet, and change of scenery. If I was going back to Split, I would book this place again in a flash, and will reccommend it to all my family and friends planning on visiting Croatia.

Thanks Glynn and Ann - let us know if you come again to Australia :) - Tenille and Kat.

“Nice owners but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

The best thing I can say about this place is that I found the owners very nice, very welcoming.

But !

At first, it showed on Google map that this hotel was near the harbour that is why we chose this place. We thought price/location ratio was really good. But finally, when we found the place was located about 10 minutes away from the center of Split by car it was a little bit late for us to seek for another place because we were only there for an evening. Bottom line, it cost us the room fees and 80 Kunas per person to get a taxi service from the airport to the lodge. For approximately the same price, we would have chosen a hotel directly in Split.

If you are looking for things to do in the evening, know that there is only one restaurant in the area, nothing else.

Nice little room although when we were there, there was no hot water for the shower in our room. There are no A/C either but sleep was okay.

Hi Duc. Thank you for your comments but we are little suprised by what you have said. "Too late to seek another place.'" You had already cancelled after I alerted you to the fact that we were out of town and then 2 days later you resumed your booking in your words from an email dated 21st June "I discussed about it with my girlfriend and we'll maintain our reservation" We clearly state on our website that we are out of town. We are sorry that you did not read all the information provided as to where we are located.
There WAS hot water in your room, each room has its own boiler, which in the summer is normally adequete for 2 or more showers. We are sorry this was not enough for you.
Mravince has 2 cafe bars, 2 mini markets a bakery and a restaurant plus Kamena's own hospitality!
Bottom Line......We would love to hear of any hotel in Split that is cheaper than us and provides airport pick for less than 80 Kuna per person!
Regards
Glynn and Ann
