Vila Bisera

Loved this hotel, the check in was so friendly, there were a number of services available and I was able to book a masseuse to come to the room. The room itself was so gorgeous, really spacious and with a balcony hot tub. Absolutely adored my visit

Amazing room, super friendly staff, extraordinary breakfast. Had enjoyable, relaxing 4 days there. Our expectations were exceeded. We’ll definitely return probably in the same room with sauna and lake view - was very nice to see the sunset while chilling in sauna :)

The setting of this hotel is outstanding, part way up a hillside overlooking Lake Ohrid. At the same time, it is only about a 5-minute walk down to the beach, minimarket, and various restaurants. There seemed to be sufficient free parking outside the hotel, although a little tight in places. It was a little busier than we expected, but not excessively so. Our room was beautiful with great views from our balcony. It was spacious, airy, with plenty of light streaming in, clean and very comfortable. We had one of the best showers we’ve experienced in Macedonia. Facilities included free Wifi, TV with plenty of English programming, and a mini-fridge to keep the drinks cold. Our only complaint was the lack of hooks in the room, especially the bathroom where there was no place to hang towels up to dry. The hotel offered decent quality bikes for rent although a little expensive. The included breakfast was excellent with a great variety of fruit and hot dishes to choose from – and the setting out by the pool was wonderful. All the staff we interacted with were good. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this place to other travelers.

We stayed there 4 nights for a holiday as a base to tour the Ohrid Lake area. Despite the fact that we booked a lake view room, our room was facing the forest, and we had to go on the balcony to have a partial lake view (see our pics). We complained at the reception where we were told that our room was classified "lake view" and they did not have any other availability. The building we were in was brand new and barely finished, with construction works still going on. Noise insulation was very bad. The staff was trying, but not very nice or helpful (they tried to clear our plates several times while we were still eating, didn't say hello when meeting us and were really really loud all the time....). It seemed like the only thing they were worried about was to get a bad review. The cleaning crew was shouting while cleaning the rooms next to ours or even the surroundings of the swimming pool at 8am on our first morning here. The swimming pool was most often full of noisy people, which meant that we did not stay next to the swimming pool and barely on our balcony - because of the noise - so wondering why we paid for a lake view room when we were looking at a forest. Also, the towels we got the second day should be thrown away with the threads hanging out of them.... Maybe our experience would have been entirely different off-season. But we don't appreciate feeling cheated when booking a room at the price of a 5 star hotel and ending up with neither what we booked for nor the quality of a 5 star place. Also, keep in mind that you are going to exercise while staying there, we counted 135 stairs between the parking lot and our room... Finally besides breakfast there is no food at the place and you have to go to the village downstairs where the options are not really a ton...

Room is average, no amenities (no shampoo, no conditioner, empty minibar even no single bottle of drinking water). I paid for lake view room and got roof view room. There is no restaurant at the hotel. To have a lunch or diner you have to go outside the hotel.

We absolutely loved this Vila Bisera. The room was nice and clean. We had the jacuzzi on the balcony with Ohrid Lake view. It was stunning. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast is absolutely delicious. Especially the omelet. The road to get there is a little bit tiny, but that's normal for that area. Highly recommend!

The hotel is in very quiet area on a hill side. The area is very quiet and the staff is extremely friendly. The room was very clean and spacious. We had everything we needed. There is a plenty of parking spots. The views are amazing. The only flaw is, that there are no showers at upper pool, this would come in handy. The breakfast is very rich and everyone will find something to satisfy their palette…we loved our stay and we hope to come back again.

We had a great stay. The staff where really welcoming. Breakfast is good. Pool is good (when it opened) there is no restaurant in the hotel, but it is no problem getting a taxi to Ohrid or visit some of the restaurants in Lagadin. Worth mentioning is also that it is just a short walk along the lake to the bigger resort Metropol where you can visit the beach even if you are not staying at the Metropol Laje resort. We will book again if we come back to Ohrid.

This was a good hotel in Lake Ohrid. The hotel staff are good and the rooms are comfortable. There isn’t anything particularly “wow” about the hotel or town, but we enjoyed our stay. While there isn’t a restaurant in the hotel, there’s a decent restaurant 200 yards away that we are at a couple of times and enjoyed.
