Yeah, the comfort found in Austrian, German and to some extent also Italian and French huts won't be available here for a long time, despite fairly comparable prices. Also no self-service 'all you can eat' breakfast, which has become almost standard there like in valley accommodations. I purposely skipped Switzerland, where comfort can be even greater, but prices like 60 CHF or more for half-board on shared bunks are no rarity there.
Well, here at least when I was still sleeping in them, most hadn't even heard of breakfast or dinner, you had to get all ingredients separately and go to the counter for each thing, preferably amid the laughing glances of drunks who came there just to drink. If you asked the hutkeeper if they have half-board, they'd probably say: what 'penzl'?
Anyway, check prices beforehand. How much it costs and what you get for it. Some here on hribi.net oppose this (I know they're just provoking or falling for such tricks themselves), but it's the only defense against ripoffs like the one you describe. By the way: prices for Kredarica seem quite normal to me.
I'm curious, since I haven't been there for a long time, actually to no Slovenian hut, if there are still parties until 3-4 am at Kredarica, Planika, Dolič, to the great joy of those who have to go on a tour in the morning and didn't come up to party, which can of course be done in any valley tavern.
Further, is the staff any friendlier? I'm not saying they should be like abroad right away, but addressing guests formally is e.g. the basis of basics that they follow in almost every remote valley tavern. Minimum friendliness towards the one who brings you money.
Further, do they already know how to advise better on the route, instead of just saying 'There!' and pointing the direction, or on the question if there's still snow, say: "In my opinion, there shouldn't be any!"
...
Well, such things bother me more, western comfort won't be here for a long time. Especially since no money is needed for their improvement, just goodwill, a bit more care for one's business and, actually, a sense for that business. Not everyone can be a hutkeeper, even if they love the mountains very much. Which is of course the first condition.
