Accommodation
Accommodation in Slovenia runs the gamut from riverside camping grounds, hostels,
mountain huts, cosy
gostišča
(inns) and farmhouses, to elegant castle hotels in Dolenjska
and Štajerska, and five-star hotels in Ljubljana, so you'll usually have little trouble finding
accommodation to fit your budget, except perhaps at the height of the season (July and
August) on the coast, at Bled or Bohinj, or in Ljubljana.
Virtually every municipality levies a tourist tax of between €0.50 and €1 per person per
night. For stays of less than three nights, many pensions and almost all private rooms
charge 30% to 50% more, although the percentage usually drops on the second night.
Camping
There's a
kamp
(camping ground) in virtually every corner of the country; seek out the
Slovenian Tourist Board's
Camping in Slovenia
brochure. Some rent inexpensive bunga-
lows.
Camping grounds generally charge per person. Prices vary according to the site and the
season, but expect to pay anywhere from €5 to €17.50 per person (children are usually
charged 20% to 50% of the adult fee). Most official camping grounds offer discounts of 5%
to 10% to holders of the Camping Card International (CCI).
Almost all sites close between mid-October and mid-April. Camping 'rough' is illegal in
Slovenia.
