Why Book Direct
Save 15% or More — Same Apartment, Better Deal
Every booking through our website is at least 15% cheaper than Airbnb, and even more compared to Booking.com. It's the same apartment, the same host, the same Superhost hospitality — just without the commissions and service fees that platforms charge on top of our rate.
When you book direct, those savings stay in your pocket.
What You Save
| Our Website | Other Platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| Nightly rate | Our lowest price, always | + platform booking fee |
| Service fees | None | ~14–16% added at checkout |
| Typical total savings | ≥ 15% | __ |
The savings on a typical 4-night stay easily cover a nice dinner for two in Ljubljana's Old Town — or the welcome basket, airport transfer, and a glass of Slovenian wine on arrival.
What You Get That Platforms Can't Offer
- Direct contact with Jan before, during, and after your stay — by WhatsApp, email, or phone, in English, German, Slovenian, Croatian, or Serbian.
- Exclusive add-ons you won't find on Airbnb or Booking.com: welcome basket with Slovenian specialties, airport transfer, and private tours with your host.
- Flexible check-in and check-out whenever our schedule allows it — just ask.
- Priority rates for returning guests. Stayed with us before? Message us for a loyalty discount on your next booking.
- Real humans handling your booking — no platform call centres, no automated ticket systems, no middleman if something needs sorting.
What You Don't Lose
Everything that makes Riverside Apartment Ljubljana special is exactly the same — whether you book here or elsewhere:
- The same free secure garage parking 200 m from the apartment (a rare advantage in Ljubljana's pedestrian Old Town)
- The same Marriott super-king bed, newly renovated interior, and views of the Ljubljanica River and Ljubljana Castle
- The same attention to detail that earned us 205 consecutive five-star reviews and a place in the Top 1% of homes on Airbnb
- The same Digital Guide Book with insider recommendations for Ljubljana and day trips across Slovenia
Is It Safe to Book Direct?
It's a fair question, and the answer is yes. Here's why you can book with complete confidence:
- Superhost on Airbnb with 205 consecutive five-star reviews — every single one.
- Top 1% ranking worldwide for ratings, reviews, and reliability.
- Secure online payments through industry-standard payment processing through Lodgify and Stripe
- Clear cancellation terms shown before you confirm your booking.
- A direct line to Jan from the moment you enquire — not after something goes wrong.
The Riverside Apartment you see on Airbnb and Booking.com is the same Riverside Apartment you see here. The only difference is that you're talking to us directly, not through a middleman taking a cut.
