Possible because a little older now but seem to enjoy the whole experience more. Lots of runs that we were able to ski as a family, which was nice and kids welcomed everywhere. Pool, bowling and painting facilities in the hotel, just made it easier to relax at the bar whilst they were doing their thing.

Probably not the most impressive stable but Romania, Andorra and Austria the last 2 years.

Not the first place we ve been but as taking kids couldnt fault it. Cheap, hospitable, easily accessible and everything to hand.

Hi ya

Returned 13 Feb from Samokov. Good hotel, food reasonable - good choice but definately not an English looking spread. Bath lovely, if nothing else it is worth staying here as not many other hotels have one and its heaven after a day on the slopes. Snow was excellent and in abundance. Centrally located. Titantic bar good for apres ski, just to the left of the slopes opposite the Rila. Only took Lev and not dollars? We are already looking to book same time next year. Hope this helps and have a good time.

We have booked our first ski holiday, the other half gave it a whirl in school some 30 years ago and I have never been. Some friends recommended Borovets as a good place to go as the instructors were very good with them a couple of years ago. We have booked up to go on the 20th Feb, staying in the Samokov.

Can anyone give me a recent review for the Hotel Samokov, as the reviews I am coming across are years out of date.

Many thanks

Been watching the snow reports avidly. We're gonna be there 15th aswell. Looks promising!!
