DEAR GUESTS!

WE WISH YOU A WARM WELCOME!

WE WANT YOU TO FEEL COMFORTABLE IN OUR ENVIRONMENT AND TO REMEMBER YOUR STAY WITH US AS A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

In 2022, our establishment was awarded the “GREEN KEY” environmental label, which is the leading standard of excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainability in the tourism industry and signifies the commitment of companies to adhere to the strict criteria set by the International Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). By obtaining the label, we have been recognised for our

EXCELLENCE IN THE FIELD

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

We declare that:

• we act in an environmentally responsible manner in all areas of our business,
• we raise awareness of the importance of sustainability among our visitors, guests, friends and family, and
• we are constantly seeking new solutions for the responsible management of natural resources and for the efficient use of electricity and thermal energy.

 

This is first and foremost good for the natural environment. In most cases, this kind of environmental care is about small measures that do not involve a great deal of effort or sacrifice of amenity for any of us. It only takes simple and subtle actions. But if we all do them together, we can change the world for the better and leave it for posterity as we got it from our ancestors.

With the above, we are committed to being environmentally responsible with our “environmental sparkles”, which we also encourage our guests to do. Awareness-raising is an important prerequisite for obtaining the Green Key label. We would be grateful if you would take our advice into account and contribute to preserving the environment together with us. We also welcome your comments and suggestions – we will take them into account as much as possible or forward them to the relevant institutions.

Thank you very much for your understanding and kindness!

 

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SPERKLES

WE CAN AFFORD TO DRINK WATER, BUT WE ARE MINDFUL OF OUR CONSUMPTION

PEOPLE USE AT LEAST 80 LITRES OF DRINKING WATER A DAY TO MAINTAIN A SUSTAINABLE QUALITY OF LIFE. IN SLOVENIA, WE CONSUME BETWEEN 130 AND 200 LITRES OF DRINKING WATER PER HOUSEHOLD MEMBER PER DAY. WE USE 2 TO 8 LITRES OF CLEAN DRINKING WATER TO FLUSH THE TOILET ALONE, AND THE AVERAGE SLOVENIAN HOUSEHOLD USES 6 LITRES OF DRINKING WATER PER DAY FOR COOKING.

WE ARE PROUD TO HOST YOU IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE WATER IS DRINKABLE! WE DRINK EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND HIGH QUALITY WATER IN SLOVENIA! JUST FILL UP YOUR WATER AND CHEERS!

 

WE SEPARATE WASTE DILIGENTLY

WE SORT WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS. WE ALWAYS DISPOSE OF WASTE IN CONSCIOUS CONTAINERS, NEVER INTO NATURE OR INTO THE WASTE DRAINS. WASTE DISPOSED IN THIS WAY POLLUTES THE UNDERGROUND WATER AND OTHER SOURCES OF DRINKING WATER.

DO OUR BEST TO TAKE RUBBISH TO SEPARATE CONTAINERS.

REDUCING THE USE OF PLASTICS

Plastics are a BIG THREAT – to the environment and to people. IN 2017, SLOVENIA PRODUCED 987,151 TONNES OF MUNICIPAL WASTE, OR 478 KG OF MUNICIPAL WASTE PER CAPITA. EVERY YEAR, AN INDIVIDUAL IN SLOVENIA USES BETWEEN 100 AND 300 PLASTIC BAGS, WHICH ARE ONLY USED FOR A FEW MINUTES TO AN HOUR. AS THE WORLD PRODUCES MORE AND MORE PLASTIC, AND 6.4 MILLION TONS A YEAR ARE DISPOSED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT, THE PLASTIC PARTICLES AND SUBSTANCES THAT ENTER ANIMALS AND OUR BODIES HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF OUR HEALTH.

TRY TO AVOID THE USE OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC PRODUCTS.

TURN OFF THE LIGHTS CAREFULLY

WE USE SAFE/LED LIGHTS.WE TURN OFF LIGHTS WHEN WE DO NOT NEED THEM. THIS CONTRIBUTES TO LOWER ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

OUR HOTEL HAS QUALITY INSULATION AND ENERGY SAVING WINDOWS. WE CLOSE THE DOORS AND WINDOWS. THIS PREVENTS SPACE HEATING IN THE SUMMER, SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR ADDITIONAL COOLING. THIS EFFECTIVELY REDUCES OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT.

VENTILATE THE ROOMS BRIEFLY IN THE MORNING AND EVENING.

 

ENJOY THE LOCAL WEALTH OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE

UR NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE ARE EXCEPTIONAL IN OUR ENVIRONMENT – VISIT, LEARN; EXPERIENCE AND TASTE IT! YOU CAN GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE SIGNS, EXPERIENCES, GASTRONOMY AND TASTINGS AT OUR INFO POINT IN THE RECEPTION ROOM AND ON OUR MEMORIAL TELEVISIONS. IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT OUR FRIENDLY STAFF.

 

WE PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MOBILITY

OUR AREAS ARE IDEAL FOR CYCLING AND HIKING. EVERY TRIP/ TOUR YOU MAKE BY BIKE OR ON WALK, INSTEAD OF BY CAR, IS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ACTIVITY. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WE GET TO KNOW A PLACE IN A DIFFERENT WAY WHEN WE VISIT IT BY BIKE OR ON WALK? WE REALLY FEEL IT, SMELL IT, HEAR IT UP CLOSE. ONLY THAT WAY CAN WE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE PLACES AND PEOPLE WE VISIT.

YOU CAN GET ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED ABOUT BIKE RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES AND BIKE AND HIKE ROUTES FROM OUR STAFF AND THE RECEPTION CENTRE.

 

WE TAKE CARE TO USE DETERGENTS AND WATER SAFELY WHEN WASHING

HOTELS AROUND THE WORLD USE TONS OF DETERGENTS AND MILLIONS OF LITRES OF WATER EVERY DAY TO WASH BRICKS AND BEDS THAT HAVE ONCE BEEN USED ONCE.

BEDLINEN AND TOWELS ARE THEREFORE CHANGED EVERY TIME GUESTS CHANGE ROOMS, OR ONLY IF GUESTS SPECIFICALLY REQUEST IT.
