The key point is the wellness center attached to the railway. Hence the corresponding contingent. Nothing particularly terrible, but to have a good rest, you need to relax like a railroad worker (I suggest you love loud music until the evening). The food is delicious, but the organization is so-so. I liked the treatment. The territory is very small and, so to speak, meaningless. The lake is rather absent. There is no pool. But if you're driving, the surroundings are very scenic and there's everything you might need. Maryina Gorka, Osipovichi, Svisloch river, and Minsk is not far away. However, if you are visitors, I recommend that you leave this vacation spot to the locals.

I warn you right away, I have not been to other sanatoriums, so I have nothing to compare it with, my review is written in accordance with my sense of beauty. Maybe I don't know anything about it, but that's why it's a review - a subjective assessment of an individual. The sanatorium is located ~2.5 km of paved road from the village of Talka. There are two main ways to get there: by train (at the moment, faster passenger trains do not stop here) to Talka station, from where there is a "transfer" (minibus) to the sanatorium; by car. The sanatorium is located in a pine forest, and this has two sides of the coin: yes, clean air - I slept stupidly for the first two days after lunch, I was so sleepy from this air; but during the season of midge activity it is simply impossible to walk here without protection, angry forest mosquitoes stick into your body like darts immediately after 2-3 pieces at a time, penetrate into the sanatorium itself, including the rooms. Flies of various sizes are no less annoying here. This fact must be taken into account before arrival, the local insect repellent arsenal is very scarce, they can sell everything before you. It is advisable to arrive early in the morning, before 8 a.m., because, as I understand it, due to the lack of staff and the “capacity” of the treatment rooms, the principle “whoever gets up first gets his slippers" works here. If you don't get the procedures you need at your first appointment with your prescribing doctor, it may be too late later. It's important to be prepared about what you need and how much it costs, and I'll explain why below. The doctor's appointment, imho, is far from perfect. For example, he didn't have a price list - I didn't really know how much what I was being prescribed was until I visited the sanatorium's website from my phone. This is compounded by the fact that the pricing of procedures is very strange and, in the eyes of the layman, devoid of logic. For example, a SPA capsule where you lie on a vibrating table in an infrared sauna, then bathe in a Vichy shower, after which you lie in a bath with underwater massage, and it all lasts 55 minutes, is cheaper than just a bath with underwater massage for 20 minutes. And some kind of ultrasound therapy, where you sit for five minutes, applying a “stick” to your neck, costs only twice as much as a SPA capsule. But it can be noted that the prices here are probably below average. On the one hand, the staff are friendly and always prompt, there are no problems with arriving at the wrong time. On the other hand, there is a light “scoop” fleur. Some people allow themselves to roll their eyes and cluck their tongues when addressing them. When performing one group procedure, when the person had already sat down and relaxed, the employee came running and began almost panicking to ask him if he had paid for it, although all the receipts were in the sanatorium book. Of course, I understand that there are probably cunning comrades among the guests of the sanatorium who try to fool the staff, but it's still unpleasant when they show such distrust in front of others, even though you paid for everything. About the rooms. We lived in a suite on the fifth floor. Among the advantages: two rooms, a large bed, a TV, a refrigerator, a microwave, a kettle, a minimum set of dishes, a lot of outlets with good accessibility. Among the disadvantages: there is only one trash can in the bathroom; there is no dryer (there are already two empty balconies); there is no spoon for shoes; there is no air conditioner (add to this the presence of midges; how people survive there in the heat, with mosquito nets on only two windows is a question); both remote controls from The TV had half the buttons out of order; a single table with one chair in a double room looked strange; thick winter blankets (but we didn't ask if they could be changed); the bed linen had holes from being washed. There were only one or two maids for the entire sanatorium, so minimal cleaning in the form of floor cleaning and vacuuming was once a week, and a change of bed linen was also required. The garbage wasn't taken out every day. About the dining room. There is no buffet here. Instead, you create a menu for yourself from the dishes offered for a day or two in advance. The menu is varied, and in two weeks you could never eat the same dish twice. There was fish to choose from every day, even red fish a couple of times. I didn't have any problems with the gastrointestinal tract, although it's quite sensitive. But the lack of a buffet entails, as I understand it, one feature: to keep the food warm and all that, half an hour is allocated for a meal here. Breakfast is from 8:30 to 9:00, which is a bit early, to put it mildly. Especially when you have your first procedure only at, say, 10:00. As a coffee lover, I was disappointed by its complete absence from the menu, and there is no coffee machine in the dining room. Instead, a kind of “milk-based coffee drink” was offered for breakfast, but after trying it once, I still didn't understand if it was coffee at all, and I didn't order it anymore. On procedures and technical equipment. They say the sanatorium has a relatively rich medical history. the base. But there are disadvantages. Some of the equipment (for example, for ultrasound therapy) seems to have been made in the USSR. There is no swimming pool in the sanatorium, for many it is a sadness. The sauna surprised them with the lack of a locker room, and the women had to ask the men to leave the “dressing room” (which, by the way, had enough space - even if they played football, there would have been enough for a locker room) or to retire to the toilet. The steam room is Finnish, small, for only three people, although group sessions are made up of five people. The temperature in the steam room is only 80 degrees. There are only two showers in the sauna. There is a convenience store on the territory of the sanatorium. There are both food and manufactured goods. But the range delivers: for example, I needed a simple pencil - it was not on sale. But there was a hose attachment for watering the garden on the counter. Apparently, it's a more necessary thing in a sanatorium. There is a bar in the sanatorium itself. But with a very interesting work schedule: Sunday and Monday are days off, in the middle of the working day it closes for a break of 2 + hours. They sometimes bring all kinds of cakes and pies to the bar. There are gazebos, barbecues, and firewood in the surrounding area. Skewers and firewood are available for a fee. You can roast kebabs. But there is one disadvantage associated with this: there is no outdoor toilet, which is why, walking in the evenings, you can see how every day the amount of toilet paper scattered in the bushes and even on the paths with these very contents increases. Of course, this is a question of the culture of visitors, but the toilet, imho, could be put on the street. In general, I give the sanatorium a solid seven on a ten-point scale.

Great holidays with children at the Talka Wellness Center. Thank you very much! There are a lot of children in the summer, and it will be fun and interesting for families with children to play with each other. * Professionals in their field of water and electrotherapy, especially Natalia Petrushkevich, a girl who is sensitive and performs procedures well! *Rich and varied menu, customized .There will even be a lot of food for the girl and the child. There is a bar and a shop on site (see their opening hours). Any goodies, ice cream, everything can be purchased. * Bring a scooter, bike, badminton, ball, table tennis rackets or a fishing rod. All this and more can be rented. But if you have your own, why overpay for an hourly wage. Thank you very much to the cult organizer, perky woman. * Arrive earlier, by 8 a.m. the doctor's vouchers are already being sorted, and she will allocate the time for the procedures and, for example, a massage may not be enough for you. * The room wasn't cleaned every day, but it was good. At the request of what ends, everything was brought.bed linen was changed once a week, towels more often. Of the cons: Please add an outdoor swing.The child missed it very much. The therapist didn't give me the ultrasound coupons right away, and a week later there were no more places.
