Apartamenty W Puszczy | Enklawa Białowieska Forest&spa

In July 2020, my wife, daughter and I rented a beautiful flat in this resort via AirBnB, which we warmly recommend (It is nr. 6 Liść Grabu). Beautifully furnished, and pleasant hosts who offer excellent service. However, as we discovered, our flat is not part of the portfolio of the main owner of the resort as a whole. Nevertheless, we visited the restaurant one of the days, next to which there was a children's playground. As anywhere in the world, we assumed it would be an available playground to the restaurant's guests. So we ordered drinks and some snacks, and let our 18 months old daughter play. The staff were friendly with us, provided a high chair for our daughter, and smiled when they saw her play. A short while later, though, the owner of the place turned up, Mr. Robert Pachocki. He was an unfriendly and disagreeable man. Outright petty, as it turned. He aggressively inquired which flat we were staying in. When he discovered that we were not renting one of his flats, he started harrassing up properly, saying that the playground was private property, and that we would have to pay 50 PLN (15 for an 18-month old girl, and 35 for an adult to look after her) to use the playground. We pointed out the fact that we were paying guests at the restaurant and that there were no other people neither at the restaurant nor the playground. But he came back to us 3 times, including once trying to put his phone to my wife's ear and have her talk to some manager or other of the place. Obviously, she refused. We quickly paid for our almost full drinks to the staff, and left our almost full glasses on the tables. Under no circumstances would we accept Mr. Pachocki's harrassment of us. My wife - 8 months pregnant at the time - got very shaken and stressed by the whole ordeal, as she was the one having to do the direct communication with this petty man (with me not being fluent in Polish). Our very strong recommendation: Rent apartment nr. 6 Liść Grabu, and visit restaurants in nearby Bialowieza, owned and run by local people. And stay away from the private property of this small-minded investor Mr. Robert Pachocki who uses such petty bullying techniques against other owners of apartments in this resort, and their clients.
