Great place! It was in the spring of 2025.
The picturesque forest, the friendly staff of the sanatorium and the renovation around warm the soul, distract from the everyday hustle and bustle. The territory is fenced, access around the clock.
The food is a good canteen, it is cooked in steam convectors. Of course there are no frills, delicacies, fried here.) Mashed potatoes from real potatoes, not powdered! The pastries are simple, fruits are rare. Meat - as it gets. There is no buffet, but there is a choice of menus 3 days in advance. Dishes are mixed according to diets - for diabetes, for proteins, etc.
The medical staff is responsible, attentive and responsive. I bought additional procedures, because they are not included in the short 5-day package - they did not advise too much. Unfortunately, I couldn't get massages, but my breathing helped and my sense of smell improved. We updated one of the re-boxes during the check-in, which is cool.
The tours are professional and wonderful, even though they take a minibus. It's not a bad compromise for a sanatorium, I understand it's difficult to recruit groups in the off-season. The scale of the overview from the minibus is certainly modest.
Transportation to Minsk is by taxi or 2 buses (~ 10 flights per day, for cash or a travel card, there is no booking).
There is no pool in Praleska, but the neighbors visited nearby in a Rocket. Prices are affordable, they are growing like everywhere else. I hope that the staff of the sanatorium is polite not only to the guests, but also to each other inside, and the managers are not shy about coming to the rescue.
The main thing is the expectations of the guests and the shared mood. Make sure that you are looking for a sanatorium :) not a 7* renovated hotel, assorted snacks, cosmetics sellers, and spa features. There's a sanatorium here. Therapeutic.
Wishes for the sanatorium, in addition to the renovation you are carrying out:
1. Hot tubs - it makes sense to buy one or two more, because people taller than 185 exist :)
2. Sightseeing tours make sense to be conducted in the format of buses with panoramic windows.
3. Acquiring a website and a second terminal at the reception is a good investment. Aquarium cash desks and banking details in b2c are still outdated.
4. The elevators are beeping on every floor - I arrived at 6, but there is sound at both 3 and 4. Is this regulated?
5. Navigation around the sanatorium - a beautiful schedule of procedures can be accompanied by a flyer with a map of what is located and where.
I had a rest at the Praleska sanatorium from 5 to 15.04.25. Very nice, friendly atmosphere. High-quality dietary nutrition, thanks to Margarita for her smile and greeting, which set the mood for the whole day. I thank the rehabilitologist N.A. Zarubitskaya for her professionalism, sense of humor and approach to each patient. Thanks to the cultural and mass sector: N.V. Magdalinina for the excellent organization and beautiful piano playing during lunch, Angelina for master classes in weaving, knitting and drawing, Ilya Ivanov for organizing concerts, karaoke evenings, cool discos with live vocals. And so, in the person of Ilya, I discovered a professional vocal consultant. He revealed to me many interesting things that my teacher had not shown me (the position of the larynx, tongue, soft palate, how to breathe). He is a teacher from "God". I advise everyone to come to him for a consultation in Praleska.
We decided to visit Belarus for the first time. I chose from several sanatoriums. We decided on a Burlesque. We liked it! There is something to compare it with. Rest for a couple of days. Reboot. Silence, stunning nature. A 10-minute walk through the forest, along a good asphalt path, you reach a large beach to the Minsk Sea. Gazebos, pine trees, sun beds and a reservoir. On the other hand, after going down a little, there is a quiet river with ducks and beautiful landscapes.
The food is quite varied, dietary, and delicious. The menu is customized. The staff in the dining room is friendly!
The medical base is good. There is a choice, if desired, of paid services. The medical staff did well!
The atmosphere is conducive to relaxation.
A good set of cult-mass events. If desired, you can also go on excursions.
I want to return to this good place.
Now parents continue to rest. Sanatorium-resort course. They're happy.
Good luck to the team. Thank you for your hard work!
The places are beautiful. We'll come back to Minsk, Zhdanovichi.
Pralescu advised her colleagues.
I was on a weekend tour, the price included several treatments, meals and accommodation. On the plus side, the location is good, and there are plenty of places to walk if you're lucky with the weather. The staff is also courteous during the procedures. The standard room is quite good and clean.
What I didn't like:
the food is worse than the dining room level, it's not delicious, and the choice is often strange;
very high audibility in the rooms - at the same time, everyone is mostly settled on the ground floor (without a balcony), saying that there are no rooms available, although the occupancy rate of the sanatorium was not high;
workers live in the sanatorium, therefore it looks more like a working dormitory;
The bathroom hasn't been renovated since it was built, I didn't think there were any more.
In general, even taking into account the discount, I consider the price too high. We need to at least improve the quality of nutrition.
We were on vacation from 30.03 to 13.04. A good sanatorium, excellent location, good food, excellent medical base, on-site there is a shop, a bar, sports rental. inventory, there are books. We liked it.
We have just returned from the sanatorium, we took a ticket for 6 nights for two without treatment in the standard room. We had a room on the 4th floor with a balcony (415). A decent room. Only in the bathroom it was very cold for the first two days, the ventilation was plugged with a towel)))
Very friendly and pleasant staff is absolutely everywhere - in the dining room, on the floor, at the reception, and in the medical unit. I visited a nurse and a doctor on the spot on my own, for 1200 Russian rubles (40 Belarusian) for a total of 5 days I took herbal tea and a salt cave, it's the most for me after pneumonia.
The food is very rich, I can't eat that much) I ate selectively - I liked something (mashed potatoes with a cutlet especially), something less (for example, I don't like seaweed salad and prunes), they additionally gave me juice, yogurt, waffle, orange / banana / apple, in general, there are a lot of things. Yes, the food is "canteen", but in a good sense of the word. However, sometimes it's a bit greasy, mayonnaise could be poured not from above, but from the side, not everyone likes it, and some even count calories.
We were by car - Minsk is just around the corner.
There is also a place to walk around the sanatorium.
In general, the rest was intense. The country is beautiful, the sanatorium is wonderful. A week ago and today I am in a completely different state after a serious illness. Thanks for the rest!
I had a rest in Pralesk November-December 2024. The initial impression was so-so, the sanatorium was below average. But every day the impression improved. And do you know why all the negative things have gone by the wayside? Because of the people working there. I want to list everyone by name. First of all, of course, this is our precious massage therapist- Svetlana Petrovna Semenova, you still need to look for such a specialist, and the management would like to advise you to appreciate, respect and not let go! I want to thank Natalia Alexandrovna Zaikova for her professionalism and just kindness and humanity. Dear Sikorskaya Olga Alexandrovna, Ilyina Tatyana Vasilyevna, Ivchina Nadezhda Nikolaevna, Myadovskaya Inna Georgievna, Seletskaya Veronika Ivanovna, for the sake of all of you, for the sake of your professionalism and attitude to people, we will come to you again. Thank you all very much! Health, peace of mind and material well-being!!
And a little tar. The sanatorium is old. There is no pool. But the food is delicious. And the main thing is to find a company for yourself - and then everything is fine. The main thing is people. All of us. Respect each other and everything will be better than it actually is. Thank you to my new friends for a wonderful, simply amazing company (Galina, Rosa, Dima, Tamara, Andrey, Lena). Only good memories remain.
I was very pleased to relax in this place. Here I found what I needed right now. A great place for a "detox" from the metropolis. Clean territory, fantastic endless pine trees, friendly staff, high-quality treatment, fresh delicious food, no frills, but there was no hunger, heartburn and other consequences of overeating. The room was clean, everything works well, with air conditioning, clean bed, good mattresses. A great place to relax and reboot. I want to come here again next year. Thank you very much for the warm welcome to all the staff who work at Pralesk
The sanatorium is good, the rooms are clean and cozy, the territory is well-groomed, there are a lot of greenery and pine trees, there is a spring and a beach near the Minsk Sea. The disadvantages are food and the complexity of transport links to Minsk. The food is very dietary, there are a lot of viscous porridges and fresh hot dishes, fruits and berries are practically not on the table. There are also few vegetables, desserts for tea are very rare (buns and waffles).
Buses run on schedule and very rarely.
I visited this sanatorium for the first time. There's not much entertainment. The food is normal. The interior is old. One memory is New Year's Eve! Yes, it was fun, festive, and atmospheric. Tables were piling up. The organizers did their best. Thank you. The program was interesting.
The sanatorium is located within walking distance from the Minsk Sea. Where you can enjoy relaxing on the beach and beautiful landscapes. The coastline is landscaped for recreation. The rooms are clean, there is a refrigerator, kettle, dishes. The food is simple. There is no cultural program. A sanatorium for a relaxing retirement holiday. But this is a budget option for a vacation on the Minsk Sea.
The territory is green, surrounded by pine trees, there are paths everywhere. There is an exit to the water, where there are many ducks and swans. The food, as in many sanatoriums, is dietary, but varied. The treatment is good: mud, massage, baths. I recommend.
She was there. I would like food like casserole and pizza to be served more often and more, rather than 1-2 times per shift. As it is, everything is great, a large territory, rooms for 4-5 people, several floors, good staff, a good academic building. There is even a psychologist from whom you can borrow various crafts. But it all depends on who you're going to be with, and you'll get a first impression from that. I wish everyone who goes good luck and have a good rest!❤️
(The photos were taken in February 2025)
For those who are looking for wellness. Everything here is without fanaticism. Clean, pleasant and helpful staff. Magnificent sapropel mud (there is a bay here, not only applications); a salt cave, of course, asks for renovation; but dry carbon dioxide baths are beautiful as well as mineral baths. A lot of cool physiotherapy procedures. The food is good, according to the table number. The territory is small, but the location is just wonderful - 5 minutes walk to the "Minsk Sea", there is a spring nearby, around the pine trees - beauty! From min ka 6 km;)
The sanatorium has a great atmosphere.There is a pine forest all around, it is easy to breathe.The treatment is varied.You can even choose the one that suits you best after consulting with your doctor.All the staff are friendly and qualified.A small fly in the ointment: a diet without frills, corresponds to a properly balanced one.Be prepared for this.There is an entertainment program.Every day there are small concerts, karaoke and a disco.You can go on an excursion of your choice.I'm happy with my vacation.
Service 4, food 4, staff 5, room 4, rest 5 require repair and renovation, medical building, beautiful territory, there is a place to stroll through the pine forest and ponds.
A good sanatorium at very affordable prices. Friendly people meet guests at the reception. Food of choice, no one will definitely stay hungry) Unless he is used to delicacies!) The rooms are not premium, but they are clean. Animation is running, there is a disco in the evening! But treatment is a separate topic!!! Very polite and sociable doctors and nurses! They offered a lot of procedures, advised the necessary ones! And the cost is several times less than in Moscow!!! In general, I recommend it) who wants to relax and get treated in Belarus at reasonable prices!!!
Good location, nature, near the reservoir. My mom was vacationing here, I was just visiting. Very clean, culturally. My mother is not particularly enthusiastic about the treatment - the facilities for treatment are at the level of collective farms, especially aromatherapy.
A very beautiful and picturesque place where the sanatorium is located:on one side is a large lake, a cat. it is called the Minsk Sea,,a nice,well-maintained clean beach, on the other hand-Krynitsa Lake and a spring with och. clean water,clean air, pine forest and beautiful nature around, I recommend)))there is no pool in the sanatorium, but there is a Rocket in the neighboring sports complex,on the way through the forest 10 min.,the road is wide,do not get lost,you need to get out of the checkpoint and turn right immediately, behind the barrier, there is a road,relax, enjoy,just be careful with taxi drivers,they love to deceive Russian,och.brazenly ,so bargain
The Praleska sanatorium is a budget option, but we also chose from several options, not far from Minsk, all in one building, inexpensive and most importantly, we came to Belarus to celebrate the New Year, and here we were not mistaken, the organization was at the highest level, the tables were full of various dishes, the musical part was on top, the dance part it's great how everyone rallied in one evening, that the next day as one family, we find out everyone, we welcome everyone, and on January 1st the sanatorium workers surprised us again, organized tea, soup, broth, pancakes on the street, and I also want to express gratitude to the head of the culture sector Natalia Magdalina, for concerts, songs, dancesdiscos for both children and adults, the New Year's Eve will remain unforgettable. Since we were in a sanatorium without treatment, so I can't write to the question. The room was not expensive, but everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, a TV, a table, chairs, a water cooler on the floor, a refrigerator. In the dining room, everything is without frills, the menu is dietary, but you could choose from dishes. The territory is very well maintained, everything is in pines, there are gazebos, playgrounds, barbecues. We really liked it, thanks a lot to all the staff of the sanatorium. Sincerely, guests from St. Petersburg Nadezhda and Galina.
The service is different. The reception is at a height, it is difficult to find a doctor on duty in the office, the waiters are prompt and responsive, the doctors are qualified for the procedures, there are not enough maids. The food is very decent, varied and plentiful for my taste. The rooms are tired, probably due to a rare cleaning. Part of the room stock is leased to a construction company for the accommodation of employees. There is a cultural sector with daily activities and a disco, bus tours are organized. There is a children's health camp nearby, it can be noisy during their events, and smoke from the campfire gets into the open windows. The coast of the Minsk Sea is close, but the water is blooming from the heat. Thanks to Ilya, the artistic director, for organizing the great concerts, Veronika, the cosmetologist, for a refreshed appearance, and Tatyana Vladimirovna, the massage therapist, for feeling great. I would like to return here in a year and repeat a short but eventful vacation.
The location is wonderful, the pine forest, the staff is attentive and competent.
The treatment is just SUPER, that's why I came for the 4th time. The rooms are not five stars, but they are always clean, the bed is changed, the cleaning is done. The dining room is much better than before, although it was normal before. If you want to get good treatment, I recommend it.
The place is super! Nearby is a chain of well-maintained beaches on the Minsk Sea! (This is the name of an artificially created reservoir). In the summer! Especially in good weather, there is nowhere to fall. It's quiet in the Forest! Among the Forest and near Minsk! Enjoy it! And the wind rose is such that the winds are refreshing and warm! I don't know what the service is. I did not encounter the staff closely, but of those vacationers with whom I communicated, they do not complain about the service!
This is my second time here, the first one was better.The treatment is good, but there was no cosmetologist (there was a good woman that year) and Tatiana did a great underwater shower massage last year, this time she got on another woman, a little weak (The food is delicious.But the service is not very good.During the week, the room was washed once and then the floor was simply wiped, the dust was not wiped, the linen was changed after she asked three times.But this is a sanatorium, hygiene.The shower is not comfortable, a high step, a narrow passage to the stall, but people with sore legs come for treatment.In general, you can pull on a four.Everything is smoothed out by a beautiful place, the Minsk Sea with an equipped and well-groomed beach. Discos every day.The staff is trying, apparently there are not enough people.Well, we're going on vacation.By the way, the sanatorium is a state social one.There are many retired Belarusians on free vouchers.
I had a rest in July 2024.
A budget vacation with treatment. If you close your eyes to some nuances, you liked everything. Partially renovated in the residential building. There are not enough staff, so cleaning was not done often, towels were changed on request. Toilet paper was also given out.
The Minsk Sea bloomed by the end of the trip, and in general the water in it is cloudy, greenish. But I was swimming. This is one of the above nuances. And so. The medical staff did their job perfectly, they liked the procedures. The food was delicious. Our room was renovated and cozy.
So in general, I liked the rest. And we were lucky with the weather.
A good sanatorium: excellent treatment, varied menu, clean rooms, everything you need, rooms are cleaned daily, bed linen is changed weekly, friendly staff, Wonderful surroundings (pine forest, landscaped beach of the Minsk Sea 300 meters away).A good sanatorium for those who really came to be treated and relax, and not to seek out the amenities of a five-star hotel, paying only "for one star". Full price-quality compliance.
This is a budget option. And the sanatorium understands this, so the prices are adequate. The nature is beautiful, the pond, the air is extraordinary, the atmosphere. Everything is very emotional. The medical staff is virtuous, everyone tries and does their job perfectly. Here are the main two advantages. The rest, of course, is a disaster. There are no procedures stated on the site: no doctors, no acupuncture, no diagnosis. Everything is very old and scary inside. The rooms are standard and sooo austere. The dining room is the main disadvantage. Only soups are decent. The rest of the porridge is constantly spread on side dishes, there is a cutlet or meatball in them, well, there is fish (delicious). No fruits or vegetables. Moreover, the dishes are not cleaned, they are so dirty until the end of the time allotted for the "meal" and stand on the tables. Despite the disadvantages, we liked it. We knew where we were going and why, we walked a lot, swam, went on excursions, got well (mud, massage, showers, baths, dry carbon dioxide, magnetotcrbotron, salt cave- 4-5 procedures a day, quite! But who cares about living conditions and food - this option is definitely not yours.
Wonderful staff, 6 km from Minsk, public transport within walking distance. You can visit the sights, castles. Beautiful nature and clean air. The food is on the level.

Inexpensive, affordable with any income- rest, treatment, tours, discos, clean pine air, mineral water (spring), two huge reservoirs, etc., etc. Courtesy, attentiveness of the staff
CLEANLINESS, AS IN THE WHOLE OF BELARUS. Citizens love their State, so don't worry. Conscious
This is a purely personal opinion based on my habits and preferences! The sanatorium is located in a pine forest, clean air, silence (if your windows overlook the inside of the territory, on the other side there is a children's camp), clean territory (but there are abandoned buildings), there is a shop, various entertainment events, discos, etc. are held (according to Yandex maps - a 2-star hotel). In 10 minutes there is a great beach area on a huge reservoir (gazebos, barbecues, sun beds, toilet, etc.). The hotel has free Wi-Fi, but the higher the signal, the weaker. The repair in the room is the cheapest, as in the USSR, but there are also steep repairs. The staff is generally polite, our room was cleaned regularly without reminders, but others complained that they did not clean at all (apparently it depends on the workers, there are different floors). The food is acceptable, but not super, I lost a little weight in 10 days, but I ate everything (the pre-order menu began to be brought only on the 4th day), apparently they cook for a lot of people and don't bother much. We did not take treatment, but the locals say that it is not expensive. Minsk is 15 minutes away by taxi (on average 15BYN), the bus rarely runs. In general, who likes a sofa, a TV, a phone book is the very thing! But I'm unlikely to go a second time.
And a life hack for pioneers - take cash rubles (Russian Federation, of course) and change them in local banks to Belarusian ones, it will be more economical! (But you can freely pay with any Mir card) Upon arrival, do not take a local taxi - they will take it off in full, do not hesitate - ask the locals to call a taxi via Yandex.go, cash payment (it will be twice cheaper), you can call yourself, but you need the Internet.
And the prices of goods are a little more expensive than ours (but not for everything).
In principle, the impressions are positive, I am happy with my trip to Belarus!
The territory is small, surrounded by forest, clean air. The kitchen is good, the staff is helpful and attentive. The treatment is decent. Very calm. Young people will be bored. Sanatorium for those who are over...
A good place to spend a relaxing and wonderful vacation. Caring staff of the sanatorium, starting from the reception desk to the canteen staff. There are beaches nearby, a pine forest around. Minsk is nearby. I liked everything, I'll come again.
Dear Director of the PRALESKI Sanatorium Ivan Petrovich! We express our 'huge thanks' to the organizers for a great holiday - New Year's Eve! The holiday was amazing,! All those who put their efforts, ideas, funds, and time into its organization are such good fellows! Everything worked out! Everything went very, very well! I would also like to mention the employees of the canteen in the person of the head of the Malaychuk Tatyana Petrovna-everything is wonderful, delicious, varied dishes, design at a professional level! A good New Year's program! The Gulitsky family and their friends
We rested with my husband in this sanatorium for 10 days in early August. At first, we did not like the sanatorium very much, we found fault with the food (the first two days without ordering) and the service, but the rooms were really poorly cleaned or not cleaned at all. I had to go to the reception and ask for something. But the location of the sanatorium, (in a pine forest), not far from the Minsk sea, air, silence, treatment (properly selected), people, the city of Minsk itself (cleanliness, beauty) outweighed everything and at the end of our vacation we began to appreciate and enjoy what we have. As the saying goes, if we lose, we cry. We arrived back home and immediately began to miss Belarus . A sanatorium for unassuming vacationers, and those who are used to vacationing abroad, it is better not to go.
Among the advantages - a great New Year's banquet, the table was full of food and snacks, good organization. And also on the next day, the street festivities on January 1 with fish soup and pancakes are also great.
And the rest, unfortunately, is complete sadness (
The rooms are not just tired, but dead and rotten. The wallpaper is dirty, coming off, the plumbing is in terrible condition, the shower is covered in mold. The ventilation is sealed with duct tape, when taking a shower there is a real flood on the floor. The ceiling tiles are all mildewed. It's just a game to see it in a sanatorium! Everyone knows that breathing mold is dangerous to health and no one does it.
We were in January and it was +3, but the room is very cold! And when the minus came, they began to sleep in 2 sweatshirts and socks.
Daily Meals for 3 with a minus. There is no buffet, no customized menu for the holidays from January 30th to January 3rd.
Breakfast is like nothing else. Meat and iced tea in a kettle with precipitation are constantly served for breakfast. The soups are not bad. There are no delicious salads. Chicken is always hot and, as a rule, mashed potatoes, and millet. Everything is very greasy and everything has odors. All the clothes smelled, it was impossible to leave the dining room in normal clothes, you always smell(
The territory is small, there were no special programs and entertainment, and what was there - the guests of the sanatorium did not come.
They searched for the pool themselves, although it was stipulated at the time of purchase that a transfer would be organized, in fact the administrator did not know either the schedule or the cost or how to find it.
We stopped by with a family of 5 people and chose according to the budget.
We are not in Belarus for the first time, I will give advice that it is better to pay a little extra, but to settle in a cleaner place in terms of accommodation and better food.
And there was no treatment on holidays either, only for an additional fee, the quality of these services was not appreciated.
I want to express my gratitude to all the staff, caring, attentive, if anything, they will tell you and explain everything, the food is excellent, the procedures are excellent, and my wife and I really liked everything. I will come again and advise all my friends. Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤ I hope to come back soon, 👍👍👍👍👍.
there are no disadvantages, my mother was resting, I really liked everything, and the attitude and the area and the food and special thanks to all the staff.
I liked the sanatorium very much. The staff is very polite, the food is delicious. We were lucky with the weather. It was warm on March 26. Near the Minsk Sea, you can relax on a bench and admire the surrounding Beauty. The sanatorium is budget - friendly . Everything is fine. Recommend.
Everything is fine, but there is an eternal repair, the food is fine, I especially want to thank Margarita, a very pleasant and courteous employee of the canteen
Compact territory, almost all the advantages in one building,clean air,near the Minsk Sea, the best time to swim is June-July, the capital itself is not far away.
Of the cons...there are many sanatoriums for such prices and I am sure they are good.
I stopped by the sanatorium on 05.01. The room has dirty floors, they could at least have cleaned up by the arrival of the new tenants. I had to wipe the floor with wet wipes myself. It's not pleasant to be in the room when other people's hair sticks to the sole of your slippers and the dirt crunches under your feet.
We had a great rest ! And we swam in the Minsk Sea, and the procedures were completed, even such an unusual one as a Magnetoturbotron, dietary food, but delicious! (Especially fish dishes). In the evening, you can play billiards or table tennis, for outdoor enthusiasts, or take a walk around the territory and dance at the disco, in general, I really liked it!
We lived in the sanatorium "Praleska" for 6 days in the standard room, we are generally satisfied with the price and quality. Clean, there is everything you need: shower, toilet, TV and air conditioning. Everything worked, clean.The territory is a beautiful pine forest on the peninsula. High-quality medical procedures. Among the disadvantages: there were practically no fruits and fresh vegetables, travel to Minsk was difficult, there were few excursions.
She was treated in April 2024 at the Praleska sanatorium in Zhdanovichi.what can I say - a partial failure in the 90s. The building is large, I liked that everything is within walking distance: dining room, procedures, doctors. The room was two-room, the linen was fine, 4 towels and sheets (but you have to ask).There is a good hair dryer, a shower stall type (but with a curtain).the furniture is partially new. The food is good and varied. Treatments are three-fold, but you can buy good treatments. The overall impression of the sanatorium is strange: the staff are exhausted, terrible aromatherapy procedures (homemade aroma lamp) and everything takes place in the billiard room!!!! If they make repairs, it will be great..
They say no more , but we are waiting for the answer to visit . Aren't you an idiot? Or it 's just that you 're not so full of other fools . And we're doing great here. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are free. And don't hit a layup. Even though the salaries are tiny, you don't do shit with them.
The best sanatorium that I have seen and spent time in. Treatment and wellness, nutrition, pine trees, fresh air, a spring, leisure - everything is there. Come on, it's great here.
The warmest memories of staying in this sanatorium. A friendly team is ready to organize both treatment and leisure for vacationers. The excellent location of the sanatorium.
