I haven't been yet, but I rang Balkan Holidays a couple of years ago to try to book there on my own. They wouldn't let me book and said that they didn't recommend a singleton going there. When I enquired as to the safety of the place they said that it was perfectly safe. After further enquiries I managed to elicit that they didn't want single people going alone because they don't charge single supplement and make more money selling to holidays to 2 people or more.
Needless to say I was fuming and gave the sales person a bit of an earbashing, something along the lines of when their new online booking facility is up and running, her job will be obsolete... I would still love to go, it looks beautiful.
