Green Key Certificate

Sustainable stay in Bohinj – Green Key Certified Resort by Lake Bohinj

Privillage Stare – B&B, Villa and Chalet Resort has been Green Key certified since 2020.

For us, sustainability is not a separate promise. It is part of how we live and work in Bohinj. Our resort is located in Ukanc, close to Lake Bohinj and inside Triglav National Park. In such a place, care for nature is not optional. It is part of the responsibility that comes with welcoming guests here.

The Green Key certificate confirms our long-term commitment to more responsible hospitality. It reflects our daily work in energy use, water care, waste reduction, local connection and guest awareness.

What the Green Key certificate means

Green Key is an international sustainability certificate for tourism and hospitality businesses. It recognises accommodation providers that follow strict environmental and operational standards. For guests, this means that a stay at Privillage Stare is not only about comfort. It also supports a more mindful way of travelling.

At Privillage Stare, the Green Key certificate is connected to:

responsible use of water and energy,
reduced single-use plastic,
waste separation and recycling,
continuous green improvements,
local products and suppliers where possible,
guest awareness and respect for the natural environment.

These are not one-time actions. They are part of our ongoing work.

A sustainable stay in Bohinj

Bohinj is one of Slovenia’s most precious alpine landscapes. Lake Bohinj, the surrounding forests, mountain trails and quiet villages all belong to a place where nature still feels close and powerful. That is why sustainability matters here.

When guests stay at Privillage Stare, they are staying in a sensitive alpine environment. We want that experience to feel comfortable, but also respectful. Small choices matter: how water is used, how waste is managed, how often towels are changed, what products are selected and how guests are invited to move through the landscape.

A sustainable stay does not need to feel complicated. It should feel natural.

Our everyday green practices

At Privillage Stare, sustainability is built into daily operations.

We use soap and shampoo dispensers to reduce packaging waste. Guests can choose whether they need daily room cleaning, which helps save water and energy. Waste is separated carefully, and we continue to improve our systems year after year.

Our wider green practices include energy-efficient solutions, responsible water use, recycling, local cooperation and regular attention to how our resort can reduce its environmental footprint. We also believe that sustainability should not reduce the quality of the guest experience. It should support it. A quieter, cleaner, more thoughtful stay is part of what makes Bohinj special.

Why this matters in Triglav National Park

Privillage Stare is located in Ukanc, at the quieter end of Lake Bohinj and in the wider area of Triglav National Park. This location shapes everything we do. Guests come here for clean air, silence, forests, mountain views and the feeling of being close to nature. Protecting that environment is part of protecting the experience itself.

Our Green Key certification helps us stay accountable. It reminds us that every improvement matters, from small daily habits to larger investments in energy efficiency and responsible hospitality.

More than one certificate

Green Key is one part of our wider sustainability story. Privillage Stare also holds and supports several recognised quality and sustainability labels connected with Bohinj, Slovenia and the Alpine region. Together, they reflect our commitment to nature, local identity, quality and responsible tourism.

For guests who choose with care

Many guests today want more than a beautiful room. They want to know that their stay respects the place they came to enjoy. At Privillage Stare, we welcome guests who value comfort, quiet luxury and nature. Whether you stay in our B&B Country House, Luxury Alpine Villa or Alpine SPA Chalet, the same idea connects everything: a slower, more thoughtful way to experience Bohinj. A stay here should feel peaceful. It should feel personal. And it should leave the landscape as beautiful as you found it.
