The hotel is definitely far from a 4 star hotel maybe 1 star will be ok because having 4 stars does not mean only to put a telephone and a hairdryer in the bathroom and have the bathroom not maintained and cleaned. Very old and bad maintained and not cleaned furniture everywhere. Very low quality of the food served. The... More

We went to Borovets in Feb 2012 (half term) with family of five - three children of 8, 10 and 12. Firstly, the amount of snow was immense and possibly not normal for the area, but we could have no complaints about it. The village atmosphere was pretty good and we had lessons with the Samokov instructors. Again we had... More

I stayed in this hotel on a stag trip, skiing in the resort. For a three night stag do stay, spending little time there, it was fine but I wouldn't recommend it for couples or families wanting something romantic, cosy or modern. It is a huge building and dated-looking both from the outside and particularly on the inside, though it... More

We arrived as a group of 4 on the 3rd March, hotel is big spacious and has a lot to do inside (swimming pool, gym, spa, pool, bowling, shooting, bars, nightclub..the list goes on). The hotel has an old feel to it but we liked it.....the rooms were basis but nice, the bath had no seal, and the bed was... More

Just got back from a week's holiday staying at the Hotel Samakov, Well ! here we go, If you are looking for a cheaper skiing holiday then you won't be dissapointed! The Hotel is quite a large building and obviously a few decades old but having said that it is kept reasonably clean as are the bedrooms which are large... More

we returned last night after staying a week at the samokov hotel.we arrived at the hotel at 11pm and were starving (as the balkan flight ran out of in-flight sandwiches at rows 15...we were rows 25 and 27 out and back...hence reason why we were hungry lol!), was met by dour looking receptionist (which is the norm it would seem!),...
