When pre-booking the tour, we asked for the specific apartment we wanted to stay in. It was apartment number 3. The travel agent asked for a guarantee for this room, and the Montenegrin tour operator said yes. And when the voucher was made, we did not pay attention to the room that was indicated there. And having arrived in fact, we found out that we were in a completely different room, which significantly loses to the one we wanted.

And having arrived in fact, we found out that we were in a completely different room, which significantly loses to the one we wanted. We began to find out about changing the room, but we were refused, even though the rooms were empty. They already provided us with an equivalent room, although this was not the case: it was smaller, there were not enough appliances for all persons. The hotel manager had changed since last year and she did not understand Russian at all, even Montenegrin. She was always somewhere absent and did not make contact at all. There was absolutely no internet in our room, although there was a router outside the door. The manager did nothing to help us. And the Internet was provided to us by people from a neighboring villa. They don't go to meet customers at all. 10 minutes walk to the beach. The room was very dirty and seemed to have been cleaned only once, we didn’t have cleaning as such. Previously, we had good impressions about this hotel, but now the impression has deteriorated.

We were in this hotel for the 2nd time, the first time we came in 2017. We chose it again because of the price, and the place is rather quiet in the evening and at night, but it was like that in 2017. This year it was noisy, young people from Serbia were noisy in the evenings. Everything would be fine in the hotel if they did a wet cleaning at least every other day.

This year it was noisy, young people from Serbia were noisy in the evenings. Everything would be fine in the hotel if they did a wet cleaning at least every other day. We stayed there for 11 nights, in room number 12, during this time we changed towels 2 times, never changed the bed, the garbage was taken out almost daily, but the room was never cleaned, there was no wet cleaning at all.
This room does not have air conditioning, or rather it works like a fan, drives hot air, but does not cool. I told the hostess of the hotel to download freon, but she shrugged her hands at any of our requests and did not understand us, she did not understand Russian or Ukrainian. For several years now, only tourists from Ukraine have been settled in the hotel, and she still does not understand her guests... But the sea was the cleanest, especially on Kamenevo beach, but cold, while we were there.

We rested in Villa Bojana, which is located in Rafailovici. Apartment No. 3 consists of a living room, a bedroom, two bathrooms and a terrace. In the living room there is a kitchen + a large sofa bed, bedside tables, an armchair and TV; 2 bathrooms with a shower sink and a toilet, though in one of them the shower did not work when we checked in, the administrator apologized for the inconvenience, explaining that it had broken the day before, in the bedroom there is a large double bed (it creaks quite strongly), a wardrobe and a dressing table.

The highlight of the room is the terrace, this room is located on the second floor of the villa, because the hotel is located on a hill, the view is magical, you can see absolutely everything, and due to the second floor there is little sun on the terrace. Oh yes, there are many swallow nests on the terrace itself).
Wifi worked, there really are no shelves in the bathroom, the kitchen lacks a cutting board, a sharp knife and salt). Room cleaning for 7 days was 3-4 times, towels were changed every two days.
From pluses: the room is very cozy and spacious, we fell in love with it.
Cons: The double bed creaks, one shower was not working at the time of check-in.
The administrator's name is Tatyana, she more or less understands Russian, and they will explain how to understand her - it was not difficult for us. After checking in, she took us to the place where the transfer to the airport picks up everyone, opposite the stop there is Pekara (bakery), led us to the cafe from the Villa Grill Basta “Stefan”, suggested where the meeting with the guide would take place (for those who want to order an excursion from him). As for the cafe, those who order food for themselves eat there (there are special offers for guests, I am attaching a photo of the menu). We didn't, and were happy because we had a kitchen + it was interesting to eat in different places.
Regarding excursions, if you take it from a guide (who meets you at the airport), you need to attend a meeting with him and find out everything in detail, his prices for excursions are higher than on the waterfront, but insurance may be included in the price. . but that's my guess.
As I said earlier, there is a bus stop near the villa, it is not far from the villa to go both to Budva and to Sveti Stefan. Rafailovici, for me, is the best location for recreation, because it is quite quiet there. On the waterfront on the left (near Obala) there is a Mega market, an IDEA supermarket, a few more shops (including non-stop ones), and of course a pharmacy.
Nearby there is Kamenovo beach (to the left along the embankment and through the tunnel), to the right along the embankment you can go to Budva (-+60 minutes).
P. S. check out at the villa at 10:00, we were allowed to stay until 11 and leave things at the reception, keep this in mind when you take tickets back, because the transfer will have to wait,

We rested at the hotel at the end of August 2018. I will try to be objective and put everything in order. 1. Hotel "Boyana" with a good repair, but the rooms are different. Instead of the booked room 11, we were settled in room 17 and it was terrible! (Later it turned out that number 11 was larger, but very dark, because the window was hidden behind the walls and there was almost no light.

We rested at the hotel at the end of August 2018. I will try to be objective and put everything in order.
1. Hotel "Boyana" with a good repair, but the rooms are different. Instead of the booked room 11, we were settled in room 17 and it was terrible! (Later it turned out that number 11 was larger, but very dark, because the window was hidden behind the walls and there was almost no light. ) The room was tiny, 9 meters, together with a bathroom - 12 meters, instead of the declared 16 meters. The window is also small. But the sloping ceiling overshadowed the stay in the room. This is darkness. The bed - on which it is impossible to sleep from the creak. One turns over - the second one wakes up and so on all night. But in fairness, I note that by the end of the holiday they got used to it and hardly noticed it.
2. A special topic is nutrition. We took breakfast and dinner and, it turned out, in vain. The owners of the villa have a cafe on the beach (rather, an eatery) and they offer to eat there. For breakfast - the same 2 eggs with a slice or ham, or bacon, or something else, plus half a tomato and half a cucumber and coffee. For dinner, I ordered tomato soup, and they brought . . oh horror... a handful of half-cooked rice, filled with tomato juice. On the second - shish kebab, which could not be chewed, fast food french fries and a salad of tomato and cucumber. Dessert was supposed to be a sweet pancake, which we never got, after waiting 30-40 minutes. The waiter constantly came and apologized for not being on time. And when I got tired of waiting, and I went to the kitchen, I saw that pancakes were being fried and sold to tourists standing in line, but they didn’t give a damn about us. You are second class and wait. This was the last straw and we refused food through the travel agency. After complaints and showdowns, the third time they cooked quite tasty, but it was too late. Arriving in Ukraine, they returned the money to us. Therefore - advice: do not take food, but buy it here, on the spot. Hotel "Ovala" - 5 euro breakfast (buffet, very tasty and a lot) and 5.5 euro dinner (more modest - on the menu). And then we found a cafe in the hotel, I don’t remember the name, where breakfast is 3.5 euros (buffet), but few vegetables and no fruits. And who does not bother - you can buy something in the store and eat at the villa.
3. For 14 days, bed linen was changed 1 time, towels (I would advise the owners to replace them with large ones) - often.
4. In general, I liked the rest, and Montenegro, where we were for the first time - too!

We rested at Bojana Villa at the beginning of July 2018. From the bus we were met by a representative of the villa, a very nice girl Tanya. She took me to the villa, very quickly processed the documents and settled in the room. By the way, after registration and payment of the tour, we were offered to change the room (the owners of the villa called) to change it to a better one without additional payment! We did not understand the reason, the travel agent explained, perhaps for advertising purposes.

We did not understand the reason, the travel agent explained, perhaps for advertising purposes. After 10-15 minutes, Tanya took us away and showed us where the return transfer would pick us up, how to go to the beach, where there is a large supermarket, well, in general, she gave the most necessary information. For which many thanks to her! The room is nice, clean and recently refurbished. Towels were changed every other day, cleaned every day. It takes 4-5 minutes to go to the sea in a straight line, but we went either through the tunnel to Kamenevo beach, or closer to the middle of the Becici beach strip. Wi-Fi in the room was fine, no problems.
The only negative is the hotel guide Oleg, very strange and not serious, he can freeze and not pick up the phone. We clashed over trifles, but the guys are neighbors with him, kapets, how much they suffered. The holiday was a success, we got a lot of positive emotions!

We were at the hotel in July 2018. The hotel has a good repair, the plumbing works well. But I was struck by the greed of the owners. There is no shelf in the showers where you can put soap and a washcloth, so you have to leave the cabin every time for supplies, and then go back in. Not to mention that shampoo, gel and hair conditioner are not provided, you have to buy them by ourselves.

Not to mention that shampoo, gel and hair conditioner are not provided, you have to buy them by ourselves. The second is towels. There are two of them and they are designed for hands, not for the body. And one for the legs. Already if the owners save, then you can buy large ones and change them every other day, and not every day, but the guests will be able to dry themselves normally. These are small things, but they are annoying. The bed was changed once a week. The trash was taken out every day. The air conditioner worked properly. There is a clothes dryer which is a plus. . There is a kettle and 2 glasses in the room. I would like 2 cups, but suddenly the glasses will burst.
And I would like to add that the hotel is located on a mountain and it is difficult for tourists with a sick heart, families with small children and people of the age to climb up in the heat. This must be taken into account when choosing a hotel.
We did not take food, we had breakfast at the Obala Hotel for 5 euros per person / buffet / and dinner there for 5.5 euros / menu /. But at Villa "Boyana" there is also food, but people say that it is not very tasty and rather poor.

We had a 2-level room (No. 16), a good repair, everything worked. They cleaned (after a complaint) the norms, few towels (because there were 3 beach ones, not a problem).
3. The beach is sandy, the entry into the sea is small, rounded pebbles. The villa has its own section of the beach, there is also a cafe. the beginning of the season, but for us the sunbeds were free))))!! ! The embankment is not as beautiful as in Budva. . .
4. Shops - there are 2 minimarkets nearby (the choice is not very + expensive), the nearest supermarket is "Megamarket" in Becici (opposite the Splendid hotel - 20 minutes on foot), to the left of the entrance to the store there is a free grill.
In Budva, supermarkets are cheaper: Idea . Voli . Franca, there are discounts. The market is not cheaper.
5. Excursions: we took the sea on the beach along the Bay of Kotor (15 euros) - everything is fine, by the way, we immediately took a coupon for lunch for 5 euros - it’s really more expensive on the ship. We took canyons (35 euros) - I, unlike masses of reviews, not happy: if you don’t sit on the right side, you can’t see anything + if it’s a small (not a high bus). You drive for a long time, stop for a couple of minutes to take a picture, go again, etc.
On the Black Lake 1 hour. Who has been in the mountains (Carpathians, Crimea, Caucasus) and on the lakes, do not expect miracles....But the guide (Vitaly) is on top...
6. Trips: Budva 1 euro (By the way, now there is no passage along the beach from Budva to Becici-REMONT), St. Stefan 1, Petrovac 2, Bar 4 euros. divine service, on Sunday at 8-00. Unfortunately, I did not know the exact time and was late...
7. In the restaurant "Porat" they took the advertised (on the forums) lamb and grilled octopus - nothing special . . I would recommend "Meshane meat" - 600 grams of grilled platter...
There will be questions, I will try to answer
