Boarding house "Nauka" in Koblevo chose as a budget option for a holiday with a child. Reviews about it were very mediocre, and I had a general idea where I was going. The administration positions the boarding house as "an inexpensive segment in terms of recreation. " For me, a 9-day vacation cost 10.000 hryvnias for two with meals. For me personally, this is not at all budgetary, and I saved this money for a year, given that I am a disabled person with a meager pension. Of the advantages: near the sea and the bus station, silence due to the sparsely populated object. I ordered three meals a day. Lunches and dinners could be called edible, although for 9 days there was never any fruit for lunch, not even seasonal southern apricots or apples. Breakfast is a disaster. Just porridge of various variations (barley, rice, buckwheat); tea or coffee, 2 slices of sausage, 3 slices of cheese and 25 g of butter. And so all the time.
Vacationers asked the cook what kind of breakfast they were (where are scrambled eggs, pancakes or dumplings? ), and even such a breakfast costs 80 hryvnias? To which they received an answer that due to the low workload of the boarding house with vacationers, they cannot buy food individually for each retailer, because they usually buy in bulk. And that the breakfasts will be better when more vacationers arrive. That is, breakfasts, which will be better, also cost 80 hryvnias. And a bowl of porridge at the moment for small vacationers also costs 80 hryvnia. Although the real price of this breakfast is 30 UAH. For comparison: in coastal cafes 3 pancakes with filling 35-40 UAH. French fries UAH 35, mashed potatoes UAH 25, chicken chop, kebab lula and dumplings - UAH 80 each. No one began to recalculate the cost of breakfast in a boarding house "for small tourists" and return the difference. However, this remains on the conscience and on the image of the administration.
But the meager breakfast compared to the mice in the room is nothing! Rodents are absolutely not afraid of residents, they are active at any time of the day, run around beds, climb curtains, climb into clothes on the shelves in the closet, climb into packages and bags, visit the bathroom. All luggage had to be stored on the balcony. Nothing edible is allowed in the room. Under the child's pillow, I found excrement and micropuddles of rodent urine, with a corresponding mouse stink. I redid everything myself. Management was aware of this issue as previous tenants had similar complaints. At my request, the administration bought poison, I cleaned the room, but this did not solve the problem. Most likely, this is not a local, but a large-scale problem, and special services must be involved to exterminate rodents in a boarding house.

On the 7th day, I had to hastily move to another room at night, because the rodent squealed furiously and ran around the room, hung on the curtains, after which it began to gnaw furiously on the baseboard, making new moves to other rooms. I am writing this review because I know a lot of people who pass out at the sight of rodents, or children who get a mouse in bed begin to stutter. If I had found at least one comment on the Internet about such a "mouse problem" in this boarding house, I would never have come here. Of the 9 days of rest, I slept peacefully for only three nights, the rest of the day and night I drove the mouse around the room with a mop or tumbled it out of my clothes or from packages on the shelves of the closet. But that's not what I came here for!
In civilized countries, the administration compensates for such inconveniences to guests in order to avoid spreading a bad image... But not in our country... To confirm this comment, find my video "Nauka Boarding House, Koblevo 2020. Mice in the rooms" on YouTube. I hope my review and video will be useful for you and you will not spoil your vacation. From myself I will add: neither I nor my child are afraid of mice. But this does not mean that I went to this boarding house for a day and paid 10 thousand hryvnias to spend my holidays in a mouse company.
