We arrived at the hotel: in the room, you can simply say that only the bed was changed, there is garbage on the floor (probably from last season), dust, dirt... Beds (probably from a landfill) - there is not a single whole one. It’s even better with heating - you wake up in the morning from the cold - the batteries are ice cold... The hotel has 2 owners and it doesn’t really matter to everyone what problems there are on the next floor... On the 1st every day it rained in the shower from the second floors. When asked to fix the problem, we were told: "It's leaking on the second floor - this is their problem, and they organized free rain for you. "
The owner was seen only once... the staff is absent as such... In short, the service is at floor level... And the prices for everything are horse...
But in all this you can find a positive - this is nature, skiing - thank God I only had to spend the night in the room...
I made a reservation in 2 weeks, but when we arrived, no one was waiting for us and from a difficult road we had to kill time from 9 to 17 hours, the rooms are cold at night, hot water for 2 days we did not wait, soundproofing - 0, well, just hear everything - quarrels, screams, crying a small child ....I DO NOT RECOMMEND ! ! ! ! ! ! There are places to stay in Podobovka, there are also in Pylypets and Volovka .... .
Booked two rooms, made a deposit by bank transfer ten days before arrival. We arrived to settle down, but since the rooms had not yet been vacated, we left our things and went for a walk (Igor Anatolyevich said that by 12 noon everything would be ready in the best possible way). We returned at 13.20, drank tea at the bar again, waited some more, walked around the hotel and....finally, the maid provided such a service as cleaning the vacated room (I’ll clarify right away, in one !!!! , which none of did not book us). Then, after an hour, we, two couples, were allowed to settle..... in ONE large room. Imagine how you feel in a situation where you want to change clothes and rest, but there is nowhere to go... I had to rest on a small mattress by the window. Now the story about the bathroom: you go in, everything is beautifully done, but not at all well-groomed (I don’t understand when they cleaned it like a human for the last time - there are stains on the mirror, there is a plaque in the washbasin), you try to turn on the light, but it’s not there... the bulb burned out. Let's go once, they asked Igor Anatolyevich to at least give another one (they would have replaced it themselves), for which they received an ordinary light bulb, instead of a special one that fits in that lamp....In the context it reads "Take this and *** off. " Naturally, they were left without light in the bathroom....so, after waiting in the room for four hours, they came up again, then they had mercy on us and gave the lamp from the bar. With such labor, for so much time, they achieved the world....But, this was only the beginning. The second number, for our friends, was allocated at five in the evening. Judge for yourself, maybe I'm too picky, but one day of skiing just evaporated.
Separately, I’ll say about soundproofing: there is none at all, you lie in bed and hear the child crying in the room on the left, how the man in the room on the right snores, how people in ski boots walk along the corridor on the top floor... It seems like everyone is together in one rest in the room. As they say, there are no comrades for the taste and color, maybe someone likes this...
EVENING shower brought a lot of emotions, however, just like the next day. . . Only the lucky ones get hot water, the rest wash in cold water. There is one boiler for all... Whoever did not have time, he was late. We had to wait three hours for water.
The next morning, the owner came up to us and said that OUR room had already been vacated and so that we could transfer our things there. I had to collect things again, pack bags (again, an hour of skiing was gone). But where we were overpowered is....it’s just speechless... Attic room, 3x4, hitting your head on the ceiling is in the order of things, the neighbors are swearing on the side (it’s the same as standing near the bed, a small window on street). . . Good people, my pantry is more comfortable. Then they ventured to turn on the TV - the satellite dish refused to work, although all the neighbors (it was audible) were watching TV. They called the owner again, came, twisted the wires, said that he would go and see what was wrong with him and return - however, we did not see him again. After spending another night in this mouse hole, taking a cold shower in the morning... we happily packed our things, paid the manager 480 hryvnias (no one provided any discounts for the above circumstances) and left... so that we will be there for a long time to remember this so-called service... Perhaps someone likes to relax like that, but personally I don’t like it when they do me a favor in the form of providing something that has already been paid for.
I'm sorry if I hurt or offended anyone. I am responsible for every word. Each phrase is a subjective opinion. But, having visited many parts of the world, I know what you have to pay money for, no matter how big or not.
Podobovets itself is a great place, the mountains are beautiful, the prices are moderate. If you have the opportunity to visit, do not even think about it, but immediately agree. Just don't ever settle at Hilltop. . .
For the second time we stop at the Top of the Hill and the second time we are satisfied, "like elephants". And the most pleasant thing is to meet familiar faces there, who also appreciated this place and once again came to rest here. Igor Anatolyevich - respect!

The information is completely untrue. We were greeted with the words: "We are not up to tourists now - we are preparing to host a children's sports camp. " Competently, in general, met, in terms of customer service.
Before leaving, I called the owners three times, paid for a room on the third floor. Upon arrival, it turned out that we would be accommodated in another room, on the second floor. Because on the third live - I quote - "people who work here".
For the room we were charged an amount less than we should - that is, the amount that we originally agreed. This is the end of the whole service.
The room is dark, poorly cleaned - dust and cobwebs in the corners. Under the window is a gallery, which is walked by those who live upstairs. Downstairs, under the room - the kitchen. All the smells from cooking were in our room. Walls and partitions are not just cardboard - they are paper. When the neighbor above blew his nose, it felt like he was doing it in our bathroom. I hear, sorry, every bunch. If you take into account that those who live above go to bed at two and when at four in the morning, you can imagine this pleasure.
No wraps or herbal teas stated on the site. No menu food - "today we have this, this and this". And all, eat what you have prepared. Cooked, however, delicious, but without delicacies - borsch, fried fish, oatmeal with milk, buckwheat, chops.
There is no shop nearby.
There is no place to buy food - apples, juice, anything else. "We go shopping, you can order and we will bring. " How, sorry, can I order the same apples? Rely on the taste of the host?
The second statement - after "we don't care about tourists" - read: "We don't have excursions, because there are no tourists. If you want, we can order a taxi, it will take you to the lake. " For 350 hryvnia.
This is despite the fact that she also spoke on the phone: we are interested in excursions. Do you have them? They answered: yes, of course. Yeah, they've been there three times. Just like paragliding. . . Once the owner agreed to take us to Mukachevo - and only because the families of workers who also live there, also wanted to go. That is, the people gathered. The owner, apparently, was a little surprised. . .
The owner - Igor - is engaged exclusively in construction. On the third day we just got together and went on the track to the station - if someone thinks that we were even asked where we are going, he is deeply mistaken.
We found a beautiful hotel in Volovets, and moved the same day. By the way, when we returned to Vershina to collect things, it turned out that Igor, Marina and their friends went to the waterfall. Rest. And really, who do tourists rock? : ) It's good that one of the people living in Vershina stayed at home - and so we would have stood in front of a closed cottage. By the way, I could not call Igor like that. He did not pick up the phone. And then he called back to the same girl who stayed and did not go with them - he told me how much money I should leave. Elementary politeness did not suggest that it was possible to call me back and not someone else.
There is only one good thing at the top of the hill - their bath. But even for the sake of the bath to tolerate such an attitude - fire. . . The impression is that we are unloved distant relatives who suddenly fell on the necks of the owners. Well, you are busy preparing for the camp - well, say in a humane way: we do not accept tourists now.
Moreover, I repeat that we talked on the phone more than once.
We remember the top of the hill as a terrible and unpleasant dream. It makes sense to go there for fun companies that want to be distracted by nature. Definitely not for family vacations. Or in winter to ski. Owners do not take into account: such things as "not up to tourists" should be warned in advance. I'm not talking about posting false information online.
The hotel pleased with its hospitality. The owners managed to create a warm friendly atmosphere in it, which attracts many interesting people there. I have not received such a charge of positive energy for a long time... It was an amazing weekend!! !
