Positive Reviews
positive:
Minutes from Lapad Beach, bus to the old town.
Guests loved being just a short walk away from the beautiful waters and pebble shores of Lapad Beach, as well as restaurants, bars and supermarkets to pick provisions up from, if you stroll in the other direction. You can easily catch a bus to the Dubrovnik Old Town if you feel like exploring within the stone walls, or even take a lovely walk there in around 40 minutes.
positive:
Spacious, budget apartments with air conditioning.
Vila Vala was found to offer reasonably priced and spacious budget accommodation with either a terrace or balcony to relax and dine on, old fashioned, but comfortable furnishings, and all of the facilities you need to look after yourself (apart from an oven). Guests said the apartments were kept very clean due to daily housekeeping and towel changes.
positive:
Helpful and hospitable host.
The family hosts letting the apartments are said to be very friendly, happy to help out with bookings and transfers, and lives on site if you need anything.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A handful thought it needed renovation.
Vila Vala was thought to be in need of renovation by some guests, who thought the decor was a little dated. However, everything reportedly worked fine, and most people did not seem to mind the appearance given the positives of the stay and the great location.
negative:
Steps to deal with.
According to some guests, you will find a fair amount of steps to deal with here, so if you are travelling with anyone with restricted mobility, or a huge amount of luggage, you may want to keep this in mind while booking.
