Although a little bit remote (10 minutes with taxi to old town) the area was great. It was quiet and the pool area was super nice. The rooms were big and clean and the staff very helpful and accommodating. One of the owners (all of them locals) had really good tips on beaches and restaurants. We enjoyed all their recommendations. Ask them for help with taxi and other transport services. We found that their recommendations tended to be cheaper than other options including transport from Tivat airport and Podgorica airport. There is also a pretty decent take away restaurant and a restaurant at the accommodation if one does not want to make the trip to the city for dinner.

Only note is that drinking water by the pool would’ve been preferred since the water in the area was drinkable and really good and the temperatures very hot.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the place was absolutely beautiful. It had only opened that week and had been renovated/ restored to perfection. The rooms were fantastic with everything exceptionally clean and fresh. The out door area and restaurant followed suit. We had excellent service with the owner personally greeting us and stopping to chat. We had dinner in the night where they had set up a romantic candle lit table on the terrace for us which was a lovely surprise. The chef cooked us up a delicious 3 course meal which he personally recommended and helped serve us. The food was so delicious and the waitress was lovely. We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to go back again!

We loved the place- no negatives to note

Amazing pool, beautiful views, everything was brand new (they just opened 1 month ago!), nice bed, delicious food, endulging breakfast.

I was expecting a quiet place in the mountain but small children making noises and splashes in the pool spoiled the experience a bit. The Spa is not ready yet. A bit difficult to find since tjere's no sign. A family business and they are open to feedback, so this should all improve.

If you’re from the UK the property reminds me of first dates hotels. It’s a cute little gem up on the hill. The two ladies on reception were absolutely magnificent. They went above and beyond and also helping us with local taxis. Budva is around 10 min drive from the hotel. Taxis was cheap. About €6 euro one way. The rooms were lovely. Well decorated and facilities in the room was great.

We found the food was ok. The breakfast was ok. They do offer cooked eggs and bacon along with pastries, fruit, cold meats and more a continental breakfast. We only ate dinner at the hotel once as we wasn’t keen on our first night. We feel the food could slightly improve.

Very unique hotel. Sharming design, very high quality of everything. U get a very special feeling there. The location is a heaven... in the middle of nature, up on a hill, very nice and pure nature view. The pool is accessible 24 /7 tha is a great thing. Private parking. The staff is extreamly friendly. The owner is verry attentive to every thing you need..very special and nice to deal with. There is a restaurant open continously untill 23.00 or even more... good food and service. The hotel is completly new.. the room is very comfortable..super clean. We stayed 3 nights, with 2 small kids and enjoyd a lot. Looking forward to come back.

We would like to have more sweet food options at breakfast

We were warmly greeted on arrival, and although arriving early, were welcomed with towels to relax by the pool. The team had noted that this was the last stop on our honeymoon, and pulled out all the stops to make it a special stay. The location was serene and peaceful - although close enough (10 min taxi, book with the hotel) to Budva and surrounding towns. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of buffet and menu options. Huge thanks to the girls working on the front desk, they were both very attentive, knowledgeable and helpful.

Whilst not really a downvote there were plenty of families with young children staying. This did not bother us hugely but worth noting in case you are expecting control of the pool and a really quiet stay. A couple of the staff in the restaurant were quite surly and abrupt, but nothing worthy of a complaint.

We loved this hotel and its team. We were holidaying as part of our ruby wedding anniversary celebrations and the team at Ruzmarin went above and beyond to make our holiday extra special. The room we were allocated was beautifully decorated, furnished and appointed. We had a fabulous terrace with wonderful views. The restaurant was small but the food and wine we had there were lovely. The breakfast selection was always fresh and the team were happy to accommodate requests where possible. Huge thank you to Lazar ( owner) and congratulations on such a successful opening season. Thanks also to Slobodanka, Aleksa and the room maids for making our trip so enjoyable

Nothing

There were many things to love about Hotel Ruzmarin. The owners and all the staff were wonderful and went way beyond our experience in other hotels. They could not do enough for us. We were looked after almost like family. The location was so peaceful, the views were fabulous and the breakfasts were great. We had a fabulous massage during our stay even though the spa was not open yet. There are almost not enough superlatives for this hotel and the people involved with it.

Unfortunately there some issues with water supply and power during our stay and the hotel does not yet have back up facilities. The water was cut off locally 3 times for a number of hours during our 10 day stay, which we realise was out of the control of the hotel, but did affect our stay. The power was lost after a storm and was also off for a number of hours. The hotel has only been open a few months and they are looking at ways to avoid issues like this in the future. The location of the hotel is very peaceful in the hills and taxis were easy to obtain to Budva. We hired a car for our stay but I would not recommend this as the roads were often tight, narrow and have severe twists and turns.

Breathtaking, luxorious and cozy hidden gem located in a small village on the top of a small mountain just outside Budva. It is run by a wonderful and warm family and team that from the first second upon arrival makes you feel welcomed and at home. Very helpful and generous with everything. Very nice pool with an amazing view over the sea, mountains and Budva. Quite and private, yet very close and easily accessible to Budva. Scenary resturant/bar terrace, especially during sunsets for eating dinner or just hanging out. It was a perfect choice to get some relaxation and privacy and at the same time very nearby big busy Budva and other attraction when you feel for it. Worth every penny and we would definitely stay here again.

The spa was not operational yet when were there but it was almost finished as the hotel is newly built.

A great place for a visit to Montenegro. The hotel is located in a small village on a hill right next to the Budva old town with a lovely view of the valley. The hotel building is absolutely beautiful with great attention to detail and guests' comfort (everything looks like on the pictures). Hotel staff members were also very friendly and helped us with transport, as well as directions to beaches and sightseeing.

Do note that the hotel is not strictly speaking in Budva and you would normally need a car to get to the restaurants and beaches in Budva. There is an option to walk to Budva by foot along the road; it takes around 45 minutes and you get to see wild turtles if you are lucky. However, it is quite challenging in hot weather and in the evening when it gets dark, so we used taxi a lot. A cab to Budva from the hotel costs approximately 10-15 euros.
