“Great place, best view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010

Villa Boro is a small family owned place in the residential area of Dubrovnik near the big hotels and beach in Babin Kuk. It's a great place to stay if you're planning to go the beach. If not, choose a place that is more near Dubrovnik old town.

The bus stop is 5-10 minutes walk away, buses to old town run every 10 minutes and the trip there takes 10-15 minutes. Please notice that you have to walk steep stairs in order to get to the bus stop and beach if you're not planning to use taxi. However this is probably the case in almost all hotels and b&b's in Babin Kuk area. Therefore this place is not suitable for people who are physically in poor condition or disabled.

We got a warm welcome, we were asked if the room is ok for us and given a glass of cold white wine as a welcome drink. The room was clean and quite spacious, bed was comfortable and the sea view from the balcony is great. Air conditioning worked fine and there's also a television in the room. There's a fridge in the hallway for all the guests to use. The location was very peaceful and yet close to all the services and restaurants. In the hotel area near the beach it seemed to be quite noisy in the nighttime due to the music from bars but the location of Villa Boro is quiet.

We didn't try the breakfast but bought our own food instead eating it in our balcony and enjoying the sea view. However if you take the breakfast the hosts ask you what you would like to eat and we saw that they served e.g. fresh fruits, coffee, youghurt and bread as a breakfast for other guests.

I think that this is a better choise over faceless and noicy hotels in the beach and I would stay here again and have no complaints whatsoever.

“stay here only as a LAST choice”

I guess if every other place in town is closed it might be alright to stay here one night. I also could say that our room was clean this visit. The owner must have invented the phrase “bait and switch”. He charged us more than the price on the door, even though the place was essentially empty. This was the first place we have ever stayed, that we went to the tourist office to complain about.
