Super lokacija, izdvojeno od buke a blizu centra. Hotel se zaključava i sasvim ste sigurni. Svaka preporuka.

there is parking places in front of the flat, but is just free during the weekend.
The apartment is comfy, clean and cosy. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need.
the owner lives just below this flat, so if you need something, you might text him.
Samokov’s Kokoshkovata Boutique House has a spa center with a sauna, hot tub, steam bath, and relaxation room.

I liked the appartmanet overall, it has place for parking one car inside the garden, there is a small barbeque there aswell. Inside the appartment you will feel comfortable enough. There is a small issue in the bathroom where the boiler (i think) drips small quantity of water and by the end of the day when you get back from skying you have to wipe with the mop. Other than this, nothing is wrong with the appartment, the kitchen is equipped with all the neccesary. Incredible value for money. The bed in the bedroom has 5 massage functions and heating which is very nice after an exhausting day. The host is very friendly and will be available for help all throughout your stay. Thanks for hosting!

Lots of stores around (Lidl, Billa, Bulgarian stores), lots of gas stations. Nice and very good restaurants (mehana Pri Sote, Mehana Starata kushta known as The Old House Restaurant). Very close to Borovets - only 10 minutes drive. Not busy. Very nice mountain view.

The purpose of our trip was skiing in Borovets. Samokov was a good value alternative to Borovets as we had a rental car. The drive between the two is very easy 10-15 minutes.
There is some nice traditional restaurants in Samokov and much better value than the restaurant in the Borovets resort. If you don't mind staying outside of Borovets this is a good option to save money.
There are 3 big supermarkets next to eachother in Samokov, Lidl, T market and Billa so you can get everything you need if you are self catering.

Close to Borovets, but quieter and more traditional. Lots of lovely restaurants serving local and european dishes at great prices. You cant always recognise a restaurant from outside as they look just like normal houses (not in the town centre, no menus outside, no windows looking out on to the street to see through, so best to check online or ask advice).
We had a nice walk through the town centre with it’s statues and fountains, parking on the street was fine and very quiet at noght.

Samokov is a short drive to the ski resort of Borovets and if you prefer not to be in the bustle of a ski resort at night there are plenty of restaurants. Whilst we we there it snowed all week but I could imagine that in the summer that there are some lovely parks and walks nearby

Lovely bulgarian town, busy market there to look around, good bus route to it from Sofia.
Can also get the bus to Borovert for about 2 levs.
Lovely old buildings to look at, lovely swimming area in the town for in summer and good big food shopping places. The younger people speak some form of English, but there nodding for yes and shaking for no is the other way so can get confusing. Worth a visit.
Everything was perfect. They offered the breakfast with few option to choose from. Also we tried the restaurant: interesting mix of cuisines of Europe and Balkans. I only haven't tried the desserts but they looked promising. Spa was nice and totally empty so you could enjoy the total privacy. This is a small boutique hotel and everything in the spa looked brand new. There is parking space too.
The hotel is located quite close to the center of Samokov. There are supermarkets, restaurants, anything you would need. They offer enough parking space which is great. We came for a skiing vacation in Borotvets and the overall experience was excellent. Totally recommended!
Nice place to have a rest after skiing. It takes 10 min to come to Borovetz from it, the house in nice and calm, it has a large parking place. The apartment owner is really nice, she made a breakfast for us. I will definitely stay there again. Thanks!
I liked the layout of the hotel and its location within Samokov, close to the center and still a bit further out to allow for a nice walk along the Iskar. The room was OK, with a very nice view of the Rila mountain and the surrounding plains.
Perfect for skiing at Borovets with limited budget if transport is arranged. There is a mini market just in the same building. There are enough parking places. Lots of TV channels. The appartment is really big.
Nice balcony, spacious bathroom, feather pillows and duvets, comfortable area for breakfast, easy reach to resrauranrs, supermarkets and Borovets, helpful hosts. We had a lovely stay, thank you!
Very nicely renovated flat in samokov. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything you needed to cook simple meals. A baby crib was provided for free and the host communication was very easy.
Very well positioned rooms and three bathrooms which makes it easy when you have 5+ people on the property at once. Big back yard and plenty of space for four vehicles to park in it.
Clean, quiet, spacious room, comfortable bed, balcony with nice view, accurate photos and description, friendly host, good wifi. Highly recommended. I would stay here again.
The room was spacious and clean. Very comfortable beds. Easy to move them. The bathroom was very clean and comfortable. All the room facilities you need to have were there.
The atmosphere and tasty Bulgarian food. The place has a charm. Big portions of salads and main dishes for very good price. Hard to believe this place is real.
