We had a wonderful stay in Bansko, great accommodation, value and location which had everything our family needed, the perfect base to return to after a long day on the slopes. Our host was very helpful and accommodating providing check in/out info and additional information like a contact for the taxi from the airport.

Good communication from accommodation management and owner. The apartment was clean and as expected, but can't be considered 4-star, nor has the listing picture anything to do with the apartment. Facilities of the block were ok, but need some work as not all functional as advertised. The location is fantastic.
The owner and the zorka were amazing. Provided extensive information to help us get there as we arrived at 11pm. They heated the apartment and provided everything we needed. The house was cosy and spacious for our family or 5. The facilities were great. The location was great so will definitely be back.x

On arrival found the apartment to be warm, clean and perfect for what we needed as a base for our snowboard holiday.
It is extremely well situated being a very short walk from the gondola and literally in amongst the main restaurants and bars.
The apartment was also quite at night time, so you can expect a good nights sleep although if you want to beat the gondola queues be there early 7.00 am….or if you need a lay in go after 12.00.

Property location is very close to gondola, a five minute slow walk. Communication and responsiveness of property manager was excellent and extremely accommodating regarding early check in and late check out. Good WiFi. Sauna and pool were a great addition to our stay. Kitchen could do with more tea mugs & glasses and some better lighting. We cooked in the apartment quite a bit and found some of the pots were in need of a deeper clean but nothing major. Overall great stay and would recommend! Thank you.

This is a very clean well located property my and my twins (17 years old) stayed here through the Uk school holidays.Communication with the owner and property manager via WhatsApp was great . The place whilst cosy was clean and had everything we needed to get by.The shops and bars are close expect a little music at night but it’s not terrible it’s just part of being in the center.We drove so parked in the safe car park below the property.The swimming pool was great just the thing we needed after a day on the snow.Also I found the property manager to be very helpful and accommodating when we needed help.Highly recommended

The apartment was in a great location for the Gondola, Apres Ski and only a short walk to the old town - giving the best of both worlds and a lovely contrast between the modern bars and restaurants and traditional Bulgarian Mehanas. We stayed as a family of four and the apartment was more than adequate for our needs. I cooked two evenings and found the kitchen equipped with everything. It was really lovely and warm on arrival, which was great given how cold it was outside! The heating was welcome all week after days on the slopes. Overall a really nice place and very convenient for everything you need for a ski holiday.

This apartment is fantastic if you are planning a ski trip to bansko. Lots of space, we had 5 adults sharing easily. The swimming pool and sauna is great- although closed at the moment sadly due to covid restrictions. From a location perspective it is hard to beat being a 5 min walk to the gondola and right in the heart of the bars and restaurants in bansko.
Look forward to staying again.

Just perfect for a family ski holiday.
Every thing you need just a minute away.
