Everything was so perfect, from clean rooms, restaurant space, view from indoor balcony to Parang mountains, to very good hosts. We will visit this place again for sure.

Good location, very clean, very friendly staff, delicious food. Fully recommend.
Nice place, pretty simple, clean air, quiet (when no motorcyclists around). Not many "attractions" end of August, but as a busy person in a big city I do appreciate a little slow living now and then, to recharge my batteries. Very good food is available in the area. Organic stuff, homemade style.

This resort has potential to become something nice.
This resort has potential to become something nice.
Currently there's no ATM here so you'll have some cash at your disposal for places where paying by card is not an option (like skiing hours, equipment rental, paying for parking and guarantee for the ski-lift card)
Also I've only identified two supermarkets both are rather small and only one of them accepts credit cards.
Parking is rather difficult especially when it's snowing and parking on the side of the road is no longer an option, for the M1 sky track there are only two parking lots that are rather small and one of them is 30Ron/day.
For the M3 and sleigh tracks there is a larger parking lot available at 5Ron/h.
In what regards food I have tried Tara Ranca and Alessia Restaurant and both offered great services.
In what regards skiing and snowboarding lessons I recommend NDY Skiing Center that is located near the M1 track.
Also I recommend going from Sunday to Saturday or mid week in order to avoid congestion.

Lots of restaurants and hotels but only one supermarket.
Lots of restaurants and hotels but only one supermarket.
One of the greatest roads in the country - Transalpina.
The view is breathtaking, the air is clean, the people are friendly.
If you travel by car there are a lot of wonderful places to visit in the close proximity (100-150km).

The surroundings, the location are excellent.
The surroundings, the location are excellent. Plenty of accommodation facilities. Hotel Paring was excellent, very good food, nice location and facilities. It is easy to get there from Tirgu Jiu, and it is very spectacular to get there on Transalpina mountain road, but not easy. There is a ski resort and there are mountaineering opportunities. Parang mountains are very close and easy to get there.

The main attraction in the summer is the beautiful road "...
The main attraction in the summer is the beautiful road "Transalpina" on which Ranca is situated. The road is the highest road in Romania. Along the many hairpin turns of the road, vast, breathtaking vistas appear on clear days which will undoubtedly overwhelm your senses.
There are several rustic places to visit on the way and even some daring hiking opportunities for enthusiasts.
Ranca truly shines as a ski resort in the winter.
Overall, it's a sure winning destination, but only if the weather gods are in your favor.

Beautiful nature with mountains and forests.
Beautiful nature with mountains and forests.
Very scenic drive down Transalpina.
Unfortunately, people don’t seem to care about the environment. Hotels and guest houses’ owners do not take care of anything outside their door. They don’t understand that tourists drive for hours not for a bed and shower but to enjoy the beauty of nature.
They should clean up the resort and plant trees and flowers, not litter everyehere.
First of all, Ranca is just the perfect place to stay in order to be on Transalpina early in the day.
The hotel is nice and our room was huge, with a small balcony with perfect view of the mountains.
Parking is outside but feels safe for motorcycles (a few unpaved metres to reach it though).
We had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. In general, excellent value for money.
Lastly, I love the fact that they were taking care of a few stray dogs.
The stuff was very friendly and helpful. We are vegan and we even received personalized food, which wasn't in the menu, and was really good and tasty. This was very nice of them, they listened to our needs and did their best to help us.
Very good location, near the ski area.
Highly recommended from all points of interest.
Deffinitely coming back.
Impeccably clean. Very friendly staff. Nice common areas (terrace and gardens). It didn’t have a restaurant or bar but instead had a large, well equipped community kitchen where you could make your own meals. Excellent wifi. The room was small but well heated and had everything you could need. As a *** hotel, it holds its own very well.
The Hotel is located at the end of Ranca under the main road. The view is amazing. At the night is very quiet. The room was big enough for 3 person family. Its very clean. Outside is big veranda with grill chairs and tables. The owner's are make you feel like you are at home.
It was fantastic!
I only been for one night but was amazing
Hotel, staff, facilities...amazing
My husband forgot his Apple watch in the shower and they called us to let us now and they even posted for me! 🥰🥰🥰
Very good location within Ranca, well maintained property, hospitable hosts and good value and food in the restaurant. For those interested there are ATV's to rent and explore the alpine plain.
If you want to travel on the Transalpina, it's best if you book a night in Ranca. The place was nice, clean, spacious room and the staff was very friendly.
