Park Blini Shala River

I can’t say enough good things about this amazing family-run restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting—clearly a labor of love. You can tell this isn’t just a business to them; it’s a family legacy. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish tasted homemade and full of flavor, made with fresh, quality ingredients. You could tell they put care and tradition into every recipe. Whether you’re craving comfort food or something new, the menu has something for everyone, and everything we tried was delicious. What really sets this place apart is the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of what they do. You feel like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home, not just another table at a restaurant. Supporting a family-run restaurant like this is a joy. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why local businesses matter—they care about every detail and every guest. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we’ll be bringing friends and family with us. This gem is worth every visit!

Some private companies occupied a precious natural habitat and even if they could exploit this place for their own benefit - it is way worse than only that. If you want to enjoy this unique place be aware there is techno and pop music out of many loudspeakers louder than in any disco echoing through the gorge. There is loads of plastic trash, bottles without tethered cups and no one cares or reminds the thoughtless guests to use trash bins. When you go there by boat the company owner / guides are very friendly, no doubt. They built a wooden lodge as a restaurant and you can oply hope and presume that all the trash and faeces are properly disposed. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be the case. But the companies exploiting this natural habitat should comply with the side effects of their business like making the guests during the boat ride aware of the nature's vulnerability and to take trash with themselves. Also they should use an amount of the very good money they make to pay a garbage collection boat which goes along the shores of the lakes and along the surfaces. We counted endless plastic bottles, plastic trash and single flip flops floating on the water and being stranded on the shores. This could be huge marketing tool and I am very sure that 95% of the people would come to Park Blini for river bank and consume drinks and food also if there would be no crazy loud disco music which you have in any club and beach worldwide. It completely devalues this unique place way more than it deserves unfortunately.

If you enjoy loud music, trash everywhere, and paying a lot of money for little then this is your place! We were shocked about the environmental disaster that is going on there, litter everywhere! Beautiful nature ruined by (unsustainable) tourism.

My friend and I stayed here for 2 days. The location was absolutely unreal and we have never seen anything like it. However, there were a few things that we were appalled by. - staff members - female staff member at the bar/restaurant was very rude. Didn’t give us any information about our water issues, how the generator gets turned off for certain times of the day etc. We had to go back to her about 4 times to get any answers. The male staff were very creepy and would always stare at you. Got asked to go back to one of their rooms and said very very inappropriate comments about body types and lots of other things throughout our stay - music - music was so loud that you couldn’t actually enjoy yourself. There were lots of families around and the music was very inappropriate - ANIMALS - the animals are not looked after at all and the staff do not seem to care. There is a male dog that gets tied up all day and does not have any water. I took the dog some water on the scorching day it was and he literally had 3 bottles full as there was no water around where he was tied up on the short leash. Not a very nice way for a dog to live. I did talk to many staff members about the lack of water he had and they did not care. The horses were the same. Tied up with absolutely no water Overall we did enjoy our stay however the above made us very uncomfortable and unsafe. We actually couldn’t wait to leave
