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.
The air-conditioned accommodation is 24 miles from Vitosha Park, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free Wifi.

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.
Room is perfect, the little garden with tables and bbq facilities is great, location is close to 2 of the best restaurants in Samokov.. but what makes the difference is the owner Hristo who will go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. He also has a ski rental office in Borovets and he is a ski instructor so you really don’t have to worry about anything :-)
The apartment was warm and cosy and a 5-10 minute walk away from the centre of Borovets. It was clean and comfortable and the sun streamed into the main living area in the daytime. It was quiet at night time and nice to be away from the centre. We especially liked the big cupboard and coat hooks in the hallway where we could hang up all our gear.
An absolute gem in the heart of Samokov! This cute, family-owned hotel is within walking distance from the center with the museum, mosque, etc. The atmosphere is warm, the rooms are spotless, and the staff is exceptionally kind. The food was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and unexpectedly fancy. Highly recommend.
I stayed at the hotel just for a night. Location is central and easy to be found. I had late check-in and the receptionist was kind and friendly. The bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean. The room is good size, as shown to the photos. Breakfast was also good. Overall - I am happy with my stay.
Tastefully decorated, all new studio, good size even for 4 - located in "Borovetz Gardens" hotel complex. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchenette, coffee capsule machine, fast i-net, very good location, free parking. Lock box for keys - easy access. Very pleasant stay, thank you!!
I stayed with in a central place in Samokov with a very helpful and friendly Bulgarian couple. The bus station and shops are close and buses go to Sofia every 30 minutes.
Alek can help with your bike too, if you're touring or there is car parking as well.
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.
Big, comfortable house with a lot of space for big gatherings of people! The house has all the facilities for making a perfect dinner party! Very convenient location!
Great place and the perfect location for Borovets. People are friendly and always helpful. We have stayed there before and will be going back there again.
