As elsewhere in Croatia, the tradition of sobe (private rooms for rent) is very prevalent in this heavily-touristed area. All along Highway 1 on both the northern and southern approaches to the park, you'll pass house after house offering rooms for the night. We opted to turn into Rastovaca village, a few hundred meters north of the main entrance to the national park. The road winds along a lovely, quiet valley in which every single house has a "sobe" sign. Just keep driving, and you'll find a bed that meets your standards!
Driving from house to house in Rastovaca, it quickly became apparent that there's quite a little sobe racket going. Price collusion appears to be the way it works here, with every single house charging HRK 100 per person per night. (At the time, this was about USD 14 per person.) We couldn't do better on price, no matter where we went, but there was a huge disparity in quality from one place to the next. So after looking at about five different rooms, we settled on the nicest one, and paid the same HRK 100 that we would have paid for the worst one. It pays to shop around.

| | | | Hotel Grabovac: Plitvice hotels | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
There are five hotels in Plitvicka Jezera. We first wanted to stay there for one night in the beginning of May. I found an e-mail of the hotel Grabovac and wrote them (in English) asking whether I can make a hotel reservation. In a week I have got a reply stating that not only this hotel, but all others around are fully booked. Surprised (it is low season), I went to the travel agency, and they checked that there is a lot of available rooms, for staying one night rather than seven you have to pay like 50% more than the catalog price, and this first has to be approved by the local Croatian agent. I have asked them to do this, but in a week even they could not get the reply. Then I had to cancel this arrangement. Apparently, the hotels there sell all the rooms to the tour operators in advance and do not bother themselves dealing with individual customers any more. You can see all the beauty of the waterfalls in a day (we spent 4 hours) and you do not really need to stay there overnight. If you want, there are private houses, which are, as people say, cheaper and better quality than the hotels. Do not stay in the hotels! Let them first go bankrupt, and them we will see.
