“Perfectly adequate!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

Actually I stayed at this place in February 2010 but the scroll down box wouldn't let me go back that far... I have just recommended the place to someone which reminded me I never put a review up and I promised I would!
We had a very nice stay at Hostel Begovic. The family who ran it were very hospitable, in fact Dennis even took us on a little trip up the the museum and he also picked us up and dropped us off for a small fee.
The place was warm, clean and comfortable, if a little bit rough around the edges (the usual thing you find in countries where there isn't such an insistence on saftey standards as there is in England like slightly dodgy plug sockets- nothing to be particularly afraid of!)
The kitchenette was alright... take your own bottle opener!
Bascially, we got what we expected- a perfectly adequate place, with amazing views as a bonus! Although do be aware there are a LOT of steep steps to climb in order to be rewarded with a hostel that has those views!!

I would like to go back to Croatia in peak season... one piece of advice I would give is don't travel between Sept - April if you want to do things like diving or excursions to the islands; everything is closed! If you do choose go off - peak make it a short break because there is enough to keep you occupied for about 3 days out of season. The advantage of off peak travelling is the place isn't spoiled by lobster red cruise ship revellers pillaging the towns! We actually quite enjoyed soaking up the culture with the locals although again not all of the shops were open. But there was enough.
Another piece of advice from two rather idiotic travellers- keep your door locked! We were so busy flirting with a vaguely attractive american guy that we forgot we hadn't locked the door and some weird old Russian guy got into our room and stole some money. It wasn't too bad though, and taught us a lesson! The owners were very concerned about this and I think if he hadn't left the next day they would have removed him.

Room Tip: Not a place for those with walking difficulties!

Hello!
In August 2010, me and my friend travel from portugal to croatia! We stayed here and we like very much! The location is a 15 minuts in bus for the old town.
The beach are a 5 minutes to the begovic boarding house, and are a very good restaurants and a supermarket when you can buy a food and make it in the cuisine to the hostel.
The room are clean and we have a bathroom only for us! Good relation quality/price!
I recomend very much this place!

“Great again, our second time.”

Stayed here for 2 nights a year after our first stay. Family just as friendly and informative. Room was clean with en suite, free internet in the kitchen and the communal balcony is a great place to chill. Bus is really easy to get to the old town, and lapad bay is a great place to relax before or after a hard days sightseeing.

“Great value and warm friendly hospitality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010

The location of Begovic's is superb; high on a hill in Lapad with a leafy terrace of tables to relax and enjoy a great view over the hilly country around Lapad. Yes, 153 steps down to the centre of Lapad but you can walk the sloping street and avoid them. Lapad, with all the facilities, is a great base to visit Dubrovnik and the nearby islands as well as a relaxed and comfortable house to return to. The Begovic house has all you need to live in comfort as well as a warm welcome from friendly and profesional hosts at a reasonable price. Thank you "Amanda" and Mr Begovic for making our visit to Dubrovnik a high point of our trip. Your recommendations of restaurants and cruises were spot on, too. As long as visitors do not expect six star at three star prices! Brian & Ann

“Good, but you need to know what you are signing up for”

We stayed at the Begovic Boarding house for four nights in August. They were very helpful setting up the reservation via email and accomdating in picking us up and taking us to the airport. Like another reviewer, we didn't stay in Begovic proper, but rather in another person's house. The family was very welcoming and even had us sit with them and have juice and cake, but we didn't have the kitchen and internet right near us. We were able to use those ammenities, but we had to walk the few minutes over to the Begovic. It was a little unnerving for me because you are staying in someone's house. I felt uncomfortable that there was no office to ask questions. The family was very helpful when they were around, but I would have felt weird knocking on their door. Also, because we were staying with a family, it was a bit loud in the morning (there was a crying baby). The room itself was clean and well kept and the value is incredible. I would stay there again, since everything went smoothly, but I was a bit nervous at first.
