Guest reviews
They will also help to supplement the idea of what the Isloch sanatorium is, and reviews of tourists. Vacationers write favorably about the health resort, especially noting the high professionalism of medical workers, the friendliness of the attendants and the high dedication of the organizers of cultural events. Some do not come here for the first time, and in two or three weeks they easily normalize their bodies. A lot of medical procedures are included in the price. The main building of the sanatorium and its living quarters is clean and comfortable.
It also pleases vacationers that there is wonderful nature, silence, clean air. At the same time, the Rakov small agricultural village with various shops is very close.
Negative emotions of some people who come to the Isloch sanatorium (reviews from tourist forums confirm this) cause monotonous food, small standard rooms, a crowded pool with highly chlorinated water, lack of a relaxation room at the sauna and an uncomfortable mud bath.
In general, Soviet life is still noticeable in the sanatorium, but the wonderful surrounding nature, wonderful procedures and the caring attitude of all the staff make us not to notice some shortcomings and come back here next year.
