Avoid like the plague, read the Google reviews, these guys don't care about customer service one bit they only care about profit. They overcharge for everything and care nothing about customer satisfaction.

This hotel has a great location for exploring the gorge. We spent the night here and really enjoyed it. It is about a 500m walk (with all your luggage) along a scenic pathway into the hotel from the free parking area. There is plenty of space in the parking lot in the late afternoon and evening, but during the day you won’t be able to get anywhere near it! Our room was fairly small and basic with a couple of opening windows with some pleasant views out onto the lake – nothing to rave about, but nice enough. There was no AC but a fan was provided and kept us cool in the night. There was a bit of noise in the evening/night due to a few guys hanging out in the garden and restaurant drinking, but nothing too bad. The lakeside restaurant has a beautiful setting and the food was decent as well, but a bit overpriced. The restaurant is super busy in the day with all the day-trippers, but very quiet in the evenings. The free breakfast was good, but the 9AM start time was way too late!! We actually went out on an 8km hike up into the mountains and arrived back still having to wait for the restaurant to open at 9am. Overall we had a good stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other travelers.…

The worst coffee we ever had in life, the most expensive. They didn't want to change the bad impression with offering good substitute, or not to pay the bill. Also it was not clean, it's a shame to bring a guest and show them the beauty and hospitality of Macedonia! So disappointed!

Restaurant manager was an absolute tool. Requested the pasta and salmon and asked if they can add truffle to the pasta (there is a truffle pasta dish or a pasta dish (no truffle) with salmon). I told the waitress I would pay extra for truffle shavings on my pasta with salmon. I was brought truffle pasta with no salmon. After my tour guide spoke with the manager I walked over and stated, "nevermind, you can keep the truffle pasta, I no longer want anything since this is an issue." Manager stated truffle is more money and i ordered it so I must pay for it..... He tried to stare me down and I laughed and tilted my head and stared back and said, "ok, we are done here, I'm 100% not paying for it - remove it from my bill." Maybe hire adults as managers - they threw out the pasta instead of adding an upcharge for truffle shavings. Lol. Tool.…

After our boat trip we sat for lunch. The food was excellent as was the service and the views are fantastic. Be sure to give yourself time to get back down to the bus stop though as it is about a 15min dash. Taxis are abound so if you miss the bus you won't be stranded. The general area could do with some investment in both money and time.

The place is absolutely stunning and worth a overnight stay to embrace it all once the crowds have left. The accomdation sits behind the restaurant and is up some stairs. There are many rooms with a traditional wood effect decor. This makes the corridors and walkways loud at night. Fine for us, but worth mentioning. A small mishap when we were lead to our room before check in time) to find it was not clean they rectified this quickly. The hotel is past the dam and about a 20mins walk from the bus stop. It's uphill and we'd backpacks. If you are travelling by taxi it is easier. The hotel isn't very well signed but follow the trail and you can't miss it. The staff are helpful and the manager was really nice to us. The restaurant closes early but he allowed us to take our drinks to the cafe bar area. As part of our booking.com reservation, we'd a free bottle of wine and breakfast. We were happy with both. Breakfast is cereal, boiled eggs, Olives, Cucumber, cheeses and Sausages and an array of bread. Juices and free tea and coffee. The restaurant for dinner is more expensive than elsewhere. Would I go again? Definitely for the beautiful view!!…

Stunning scenery and location, a beautiful quaint hotel that exceeds your expectations in Matka Canyon, Macedonia. Canyon Matka Hotel is very cosy, located in the heart of the gorge, you feel instantly at peace, surrounded by the lake and nature. The rooms are very clean, and be sure to book one facing the lake to enjoy the magic views of the canyon. A nice surprise was you receive a free bottle of wine for your stay. The restaurant and bar are full of views and all tables have the same magical views, you truly feel you are in a private oasis, it was very tranquil. The food was exceptional, we really enjoyed the crisp fresh salads and the meat and fish dishes were mouthwatering. After four days we dined a few times and were equally impressed with every dish. The menu was extensive and desserts were also a treat, portion sizes were plentiful. We enjoyed a few cocktails on the terrace, soaking up the views and they were made to perfection. It was also a busy spot for day-trippers, following their experiences in the canyon. A big thank you to Dejan for his high level of service, he was very attentive and warm. Most staff have been with the hotel for long durations, and make you feel very welcome, they exude energy and friendliness. Alexander is the manager and was an absolute delight to spend time with too. if you are an early riser it's worth noting breakfast starts at 9 am. They have a range of choices, the bacon, and eggs baked with cheese were delicious, fresh juices available and coffee was excellent. A boat trip with Almata Prima Kayak Rental And Boat Tours, located next to the hotel, through the canyon is well worth doing, it was magical. You also visit a cave, only one hour for the trip, and very affordable on a luxury pontoon at 500 denar - €8 each (normally 750). Another fun activity is to kayak through the canyon, ideally during the morning if you want to avoid the tourists, it is a very popular place to visit. If you are a fan of hiking, there is no shortage of treks. A fellow guest we became friends with from the US, has stayed in this gorgeous hotel for five weeks, a true testament to the hotel and friendly staff. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the car park via a cobblestoned trail, but the hotel will ensure your luggage is transported, we loved the simplicity and the experience. To have the canyon a short 25 minutes from Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia is a true treasure, recommend staying for a few nights to truly enjoy the atmosphere and nature.…

I stayed here one night in early September 2019. I had an attic room with a view on the lake. The room was okay but it might get quite small for two people. But the real reason to come here is off course the scenery and the nature in the canyon. The views are great and the whole atmosphere is chill and peaceful. The staff speaks mostly good English and they seemed quite professional. I did not dine in the restaurant at the hotel (there are at least one great and also cheap restaurant down the road leading to the hotel) but I off course had the breakfast that was included in the room price. Breakfast was continental style and it was okay. I would have however appreciated a bit more options on the breakfast table. I visited the restaurant in the evening but just for a drink. I noticed that they were making some kind of renovation while people were eating. This was quite disturbing. All in all I enjoyed my stay but it could have been better.…
