We arrived in late January, for a cheap lads holiday and introduction to snowboarding, with an open mind as to the resort and the accommodation. In fact if I am honest probably expecting the worst. After a fairy uneventful (save for our driver being unable to find reverse gear) 75 minute transfer from Sophia, we arrived at the Samokov hotel,... More

The samokov has a dated facade however this should not put you off. I have stayed in Borovets previously and due to this we booked the Samokov for our second stay based on it's location to the gondola and the rest of the resort. the rooms are good the water is hot all the time! The food is more than... More

Just spent a week in the samokov hotel. In summary I wish we had never come here! The three of us all had d&v which seems to be spreading like wild fire on the 4th floor! I think by the time you read this it will be on all floors! Staff are very ignorant, abrupt & rude. A smile once... More

The hotel is a perfect location for skiers but the let down is in the leaky baths the food and the staff. Don't get me wrong some did smile, but they were unhelpful when asked for anything and be aware of them trying to charge you for calls you didn't make. All in all the rooms were clean very warm...

Four of us went for skiing holiday and the only reason we have chosen Borovets and Samakov hotel was that we got a really good deal online. THE FIRST IMPRESSION was very good,but then the experience got worse in time. The location is very good.close to slopes,shops,restaurants,everything is withing a walking distance. Nothing else! THE FOOD was cold all the... More

Just got back from Borovets...what a difference from the last 2yrs...Fantastic snow fall and its still snowing. The resorts looks beautiful. The skiing was great but very cold at the top of the mountain. The Hotel has reduced its number of ski instructors this year from 45 to 13 which is sad to see as the hotel has a excellent... More

This hotel worked extremely well for a week's skiing. Positives for hotel Great location for skiing and apres ski drinks; good facilities (swimming pool - free and bowling - chargeable - well worthwhile); food more than adequate; excellent value Negatives Very few. Night noise is more a feature of unsociable neighbours than thin walls and this can happen at any... More

My husband and I along with a friend stayed at the Hotel Samokov on a half board basis from the 25th Jan for one week. On arrival I found the reception area to be grander than I had expected. The reception staff were courteous and helpful and continued to be so during our stay. The lifts were a very funny... More

Being a couple of doors down from 'FartFinder' during my time at Borovets, I feel confident in saying I completely agree Phil! But i'll start with the positives. Accomodation wise, the Samakov is perfect for anyone who wants to be in a good location with good amenities. I had a great massage at the hotel and the spa is a... More
