We stayed at Samokov hotel for 4 nights with half board (very good deal with hotels4u - 118 euro 2 persons for the whole staying). I was more than pleased by the location of the hotel, the food is verrrry good, rooms as well. The hotel is beautiful, but just a bit outdated... The thing i liked most about this... More

I visited Borovets for a snowboarding holiday with my 16 year old son over the easter break. Overall we had a fantastic time. But starting with The Samokov Hotel I would have to say it was "O.K." in the sense the rooms were clean and functional. Our room's biggest asset was a balcony with an awesome view of the mountain...

My stay here was 2nd of march 2013 and after reading the reviews I was dreading it!! But it was a comfortable stay, would recommend and defiantly go back. Food was ok, but there's plenty of places 2 eat out at a cheap price, highly recommend golden horn 2 eat and drink very friendly and welcoming :) It was my... More

3rd world country and accommodation to suit. Food horrific. Accommodation was dirty, reception entrance fairly good with a bar but smokers outside filled the place with the stench of fags. Okay for a short term stay for a stag do, but it is full of them and noisy at night. Forget taking the family there. Small ski area but enough... More

This is the second time we have gone to Borovets and that is because it is affordable. We write this review with this in mind, we don't expect it to be a top class resort. This time we stayed at the Samokov because it is so central, a really short walk to the gondola with lots of things to do... More

What to expect? Well we were not disappointed, 25 men of varying ages went on a stag "weekend" lasting 6 days & the general feeling was good! Rooms were warm & cosy, not the best we have stayed in but clean. Food was OK but seemed a little on the repetitive side at times.facilities were good, swimming pool, shooting range,... More

Second time here and it has improved since last year. The food is hotter, staff more attentive and the pool is a degree warmer. This year we brought a torch for the wardobes and an air freshener for the bog. The night life is great we did all new bars and there's still some left for next year. I may... More

I am definately not a fussy person who expects a 5 * hotel at only 3 * prices but there are a few points I would like to bring to your attention incase you are thinking of staying here... Date of visit:- 2 March 2013. 1. The room was comfortable but tatty and the bed clothes hadn't been changed, they... More
