@ribic: It happened to us with a friend too, on 18.08.2013 on Prgarca, that one, in the morning all honey , friendly as anything. In the afternoon on return really a bit grotesque and we two quickly got down

By far the most affordable hut I've visited (and visit) is Krekova Koča on Ratitovec. Tea and flancat e.g. 2,5€. Prices comparable to those in the valley, and tasty too. For me an example of a hiker-friendly hut.

I would highly praise the Planinc hut on Sv. Primož on Pohorje (1010 m) on this occasion. Very nice atmosphere in the embrace of Pohorje forests, not to mention the friendliness, helpfulness, simplicity and homeliness of the hut keeper (the lady is the president of PD Vuzenica) and her husband.

Hi, I can't find any comments about the mountain hut at Staničeva koča anywhere, does anyone have any experiences - sleeping, food, staff? Thanks

@lena_ala
Staff, food, atmosphere super. Sleeping: in the main building group rooms with 5 beds each (real luxury...), in the annex it's a bit wilder (16 people in bunk beds on 20 square meters :-) ), but you survive.
New hut keepers this year, friendly and helpful.

In general, I can say I have no bad experiences with visiting huts in our mountains. This year I even spent two nights at Prehodavci for the first time. Here there's a young three-member team this year. It was completely satisfactory. The young man who served was very helpful and very talkative. Yesterday I was at Kranjska koča na Ledinah and had a nice chat with the hut keeper. He even invited me to classical music concerts they have. But I believe that with crowds like two weeks ago at Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih, the staff can't devote to guests and we're just numbers to them. The coffee there was really good though. Understandably, with such crowds you carry your order from the counter to the table yourself. This year I hardly ate in huts. But I like to treat myself to a strudel and the one at the hut in Tamar was really good. I also regularly drink Košutnik. Only at Celovška koča it was a bit strange-completely transparent-but the taste was right. The picture up there was wrong-Clusius marmot. But it seemed to me the most expensive here. Greetings.

This year my son and I visited a huge number of huts, I don't even know the number anymore, but in almost all we encountered friendliness and helpfulness, despite the crowds you can see they try to serve and be friendly, so I can confirm that almost all huts are pleasant, some a bit more some a bit less, but the difference is small, so the common denominator of almost all is positive. I would especially highlight positively the hut at Prehodavci like my predecessor and the hut at Komna, while the shelter at Krn left a negative aftertaste on the first day, which improved the next day and the bad moment remained only a memory somewhere in the back.
In short, despite hard working conditions, despite large crowds, despite all the troubles associated with these "mountain homesteads" I can confirm that I feel good in them! But above all I would emphasize that the visitor's satisfaction mostly depends on his expectations !!! (whoever expects in a mountain hut "his own liveried waiter" who will fulfill all his wishes on the spot, will be sorely disappointed.

Due to circumstances, I slept at Planika when I went to Triglav 14 days ago, staff friendly, one of the girls serving a bit hard of hearing but OK.
Got the bill for sleeping but not for the breakfast eaten. Prices are nicely written so no doubt about it.
Just as the lady showed me the bunk, some Bosnian wanted to take it and was quite aggressive, well I had to call the lady back to explain to him it's not his bunk. Then he apologized.
Night was quiet (either the hut keeper is so strict or because she has her room under the dorms ), only once some idiot came shining with a flashlight. Well, I was unlucky to have a kid above me who kept shaking the bunk (they could replace them with newer ones that don't sway so much). Even though I warned him he didn't stop, don't know if he was jerking off all night or what? 
Prices, well Triglav ones. Breakfast, two thin slices of bread and one butter and one jam and one pate - 6 EUR. Well, when I order three more slices of bread (0.75 EUR each) to fill up she brings such thick slices that I can hardly eat them. So for next time: bring your own spreads and order only bread. And drinks too. They might charge you an extra euro consumption fee by statute.
Comparison with prices at Wienerneustadter Hütte under Zugspitze (even more crowded mountain than Triglav, also via hiking trails not just cable car).
- meat cheese with bread 5.50 EUR
- horseradish sausage with mustard and bread: 3.50 EUR
- beer 3.50 EUR (in the valley you won't get it cheaper there, only higher)
- coffee 2.00 EUR (in Austria and Germany rarely cheaper even in the valley)

 VanSims, you made me laugh really well, I believe everything you say, because at night really "all sorts" happens in huts. When we went about 18 years ago, I still as an elementary schooler, to sleep in common bunks at Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih, everything was pitch dark. I remember sleeping there behind a chimney in the attic, we were pressing each other with soles, such a crowd. And some youngsters found it very funny to tickle my sole while dozing and then giggle, you couldn't see anything anyway, no sleep either . Plus not mentioning how someone let one out for Guinness book. So maybe that's why I do day trips for a long time, if necessary by force as you say, I prefer headlamp.

Yeah, sleeping in huts ... adventures like falling off the bunk, last year in the hut at Triglav Lakes, room 12, old guys competing who snores louder.
Also last year in Lepena, sleeping in annexes, that's what they call them, had to make them quiet, because the next morning we started for Krn already in the dark. One family with three kids, as if they were at home ... at midnight, eh I'd rather not remember all those nights in huts, so lately we've been practicing leaving home at 11 pm, ascent with headlamps, otherwise of course when we plan some three days. I prefer some guesthouse, but there it's of course much more expensive than in a hut.
LP!

Well, my wife and I had an even stranger experience recently at Kamniško sedlo.
It was already hard to fall asleep in the evening because we were the first in bed and then all the others rushed into the room around 10 pm, then a Croat started snoring relentlessly. The man sleeping above my wife climbed down from the bunk and went to quiet the guy, when he climbed back and lay down, the bunk literally collapsed and the upper part (with mattress and thick wooden base) fell on my wife. Thank God nothing bad happened - my wife was also awake because of the Croat's snoring and by some luck jumped away in time as soon as she felt something on her. The upper guy was more upset, convinced he had squished someone.
Otherwise the hut is really nice (even showers with hot water), but for the beds I give them a big -.

Another fresh one from Krekova hut on Ratitovec. Me and my girl arrive at the hut, order tea and have a snack. The tea was really good, they didn't spare lemon and it wasn't too sweet, as is the habit in some huts (when you don't even know what real taste it has).
I pay and compliment the keeper on the tea, whereupon she gruffly replies that "they sell something besides tea and no need to bring anything with you, except for outside".

Well, one can't influence snoring so I bring earplugs whenever I plan to sleep like this with others. What bothers me of course is noise that's so loud that even plugs don't help...
@Trobec: You surely ate something of your own in the hut too, right? Of course it's allowed and the keeper should still be friendly, she could have charged you that euro consumption fee.
BTW, that euro consumption fee we talked about recently I saw about a month ago in Vojkova hut on Nanos. They have a nice notice that they charge it for brought food.

@VanSims, the euro consumption applies if you order nothing in the hut... to somehow encourage people to order at least tea.
Otherwise I prefer not even to snack in huts, even the beer I order there I rather drink outside in the air, just today the weather wasn't the nicest.
Besides I was even considerate enough to "sweep" all the crumbs left into the empty tea cup.

Yeah, in huts you really experience all sorts. Snoring, farting and such I understand - hard to influence that. But we had a very unpleasant experience this year end of July at Kredarica. Around 21:30 our group of eight went to sleep on the common bunks where already about 5 people were sleeping. Around 23:00, when we were all nicely asleep, a group of about 6-7 young guys came. We had seen them before getting drunk and dancing outside. They seemed fun to us as they were having a good time. Well, not for long. When they came to sleep, they crammed onto their bunks where they had already prepared to sleep and continued the party from the dining room right there. Talking loudly, laughing... Of course they woke everyone present. If anyone said something to them, they started mocking and insulting him. There were also some foreigners in the room (I think Hungarians). One of them went to get a woman from the staff (don't know if waitress or what exactly). When she came and tried to calm them, it didn't help. They started verbally attacking that Hungarian (one really gets ashamed to be Slovenian). Then the keeper came and threatened with police (don't know what police could do?) and that didn't help either. When someone from the room said something more to them, one of them started saying if anyone dares, come on... I barely held my partner back from really jumping on the bunk, although the guys would have deserved it... Well, after about another half hour of their laughter and messing around (all together over an hour) they finally quieted down and we could fall asleep again.
I understand someone sometimes drinks and doesn't care when they get up in the morning... But to have such an attitude, that I don't understand. Also not clear to me how the keeper can allow such a thing. Otherwise I don't know what he could have done at that moment but still it's not right to allow such behavior...

Very simple to solve this.
Take a deposit of 100 € from everyone who wants to overnight. If someone complains you don't return it, if all is ok they get it back.
But then everyone would have to pay it.
