Stayed here so many times luv the place it's like returning to a old friends place..this time 6floor lift down button not working...so usually went up b4 u come down. As regulars call lift roulette..just add a min/2 to journey.
Reception/bar area ,great to see the same people still doing what they have done for years .and also same guests that you've met in the past. Still good value €3 a pint. In a hotel in ski resort.
Food as standard in restaurant..
It like marmite, some luv it, some loathe it.. and 3xs toaster .those who know, know.
Location is fabulous. Just midway on road opposite gondola. So easy to top of mountain.
Hotel has a lot to offer air gun range, 10 pin bowling, table tennis, massive swimming poole saunas, and parking.
Ski storage at bottom of hotel..
Stay and join the WE ❤️ SAMOKOV HOTEL!

The hotel SAMOKOV is basically in regards to the rooms but they are clean and warm. Bathroom is designed as a wet room the water will drain away! Lobby Bar cheapest drinks in town Location great right near gondola and short walk to nursery slopes and 6 nan lift on rila its not ski to door but if u want that u need pay more! Swimming Pool free to guests was actually warmer than it was when we stayed years ago though you do have to pay for sauna and steam as they are a run by the Spa. There is lots facilities pool tables above bowling alley, though the usual table tennis was closed due to a conference FOOD breakfast more than adequate fruit cereals yoghurt pastries breads eggs boiled and scrambled and bacon was ok Dinner if half board was also adequate if not fancy but you could go out for meal in many of the local restaurants Overall a decent skiing hotel staff ok One day we didn't get room cleaning service but I asked at reception and they quickly delivered fresh towels and toilet rolls. Can't complain for the price we paid Borovets is a great ski destination for beginners and intermediates good value resort our 16th visit well be back in 2027 and if the SAMOKOV is a decent price I'd chose it again!

The Samokov may hail from a different era but rooms are clean and very spacious great for the kids to hang out, much better than some of the neighbouring hotels. Rooms are clean, warm and have what you need. Bedding was clean and comfortable. Issue with hot water coming from cold faucet but abundant hot water food is typical of the area and overall to a good standard for the area. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. Ski centre very good value and service and good standard of equipment and service Don’t be surprised to experience a far better service than reviews suggest Bulgaria is a wonderful country with very nice people at a price point which suits a lot of families (5 of us) and keep coming back If you want really high standards for cuisine and over priced services then try somewhere else Borovets is a gem

I was quite disappointed overall with my stay at this hotel. The entire place felt very dated, with tired décor and facilities that clearly haven’t been updated in years. Cleanliness was also a concern — the bedsheets were never changed during my stay, which is completely unacceptable and unhygienic. The food was poor quality, with limited options and very little variation. It certainly did not meet expectations. You also do not receive drinks with your evening meal, which was frustrating. In fact, almost everything in this hotel comes at an extra cost — you seem to have to pay extra for just about everything. You even have to pay €10 per person, per day to use the sauna, which I think is completely unacceptable. The lifts were unreliable and slow, which made getting around the hotel difficult, especially at busy times. There were, however, a few positives. The hotel is in a great location and very close to the slopes, which is ideal for skiing. The drinks at the bar are reasonably priced compared to other nearby venues. The swimming pool was very warm, which was enjoyable after a day on the slopes, and we did receive fresh towels every other day, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the positives do not outweigh the negatives. The hotel needs significant improvements in cleanliness, food quality, and overall maintenance before I would return

The hotel is a good location for the gondola, and the sauna/steam rooms are ok - those are the only redeeming qualities. The rooms look like a set from a motel ****** scene, set in the 70’s, and clearly thats the last time anyone invested any money in this place. The showers leaked water across the bathroom and lacked hot water and lacked any extractor fans. The breakfast is inedible. I’ll give props to the sports bar, good drinks and staff! The fact this is marked as a four star hotel is laughable, I wouldn’t leave my dog there let alone take my family back or come with friends. Would recommend BJs bar over the road!

16.02.2026 Guest

Do not rent lockers here. I paid for six days but the first day the office was closed and could only leave things in the evening. I was then told that six days is FIVE nights and lockers need to be empty BY midday, which meant having to waste half of the day skiing. Everywhere else days start at 7am and finish around 7.30pm. But everything here is designed to extract as much cash as possible from travellers. The attitude is always dreadful and I am afraid everything now is expensive and the service terrible. It leaves a sour taste and spoils the day and even the holiday. Won’t see me again. Bye.

Basic facilities but ideal for a cheap ski break with family or friends. Very close to the piste (nothing is far from anything in Borovets). There were quite a few large groups staying but noise never seemed to be an issue. Considering you don't spend much time in the hotel when you're here to ski/board, it's ideal and would recommend for budget skiers.

05.02.2026 Guest

We stayed for 7 nights from 24th Jan. We have been in Bansko for the last 5 seasons so decided to give Borovets a try. Positives: The hotel is in a very central location and it has it's own ski depot which was ideal. We found the hotel buffet to be grand for food for both breakfast and dinner. However, the dinners did get very repetitive but there was always something we could eat. The hotel has a great sports bar on the first floor and also a bowling alley and BB firing range. Generally the hotel was well kept and had a nice lobby area. Cons: The heat around the hotel and rooms was crazy. Soo much so that it began to affect my sleep most nights with being soo warm. I also found this with most bars in Borovets also they don't seem to believe in normal room temperature it is always piping hot. The hotel bathroom seemed to smell after a few days and I would put this down to the bath for the shower not being sealed and the water just running down the back and sitting stagnant. The door to the room didn't fill me with confidence but we had no issues during our stay but seemed that if you give it a good shove it would open when locked. The walls in the rooms are very thin so much so that we could hear people snoring a few rooms away. Overall assessment: If you are looking for a budget hotel very close to gondola and ski area with a good ski depot and don't mind about the datedness of this hotel then this is grand. I would stay here again depending on the prices of other hotels as we tend to be out of the hotel for the majority of our time anyway. If you want something slightly more upmarket I would try the Iglika.

Great hotel for families because of the facilities.Central location . Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. The hotel has kept its old decor perfectly and it's so nice to see something different. Definitely a hotel you won't be bored in and if you like modern hotels.

15.01.2026 Guest

Great location, but very dated hotel. Shower flooded the bathroom, reported it numerous times to staff but they did nothing about it. And no plug for the bath
