Pros:

If you are the type who loves the peace and quiet in the forest, this is the ideal place. We felt very good, we were always asked if we needed anything or if we were feeling well. It is warm in the room and downstairs in the restaurant, hot water and all the necessary conditions. We felt like home, we will definitely come back. Thank you for your kindness

Δεν θα ξαναπήγαινα σε αυτό το κατάλυμα ούτε θα το πρότεινα
Pros:

Μετά από όλη αυτή την βρωμιά που είδαμε γύρω μας δεν πήγαμε για πρωινό η τοποθεσία ωραία...η αυλή και το πάρκιν εντελώς απαραίτητα

Cons:

Η καθαριότητα είναι όλα άθλια σεντόνια μπάνιο κουρτίνες όλα μέσα στην βρωμιά...και ζεστή ανύπαρκτη...κρύο εντελώς το δωμάτιο

Liniște și aer curat înconjurați de brazi
Pros:

Hotelul are potențial. Este bine amplasat, în mijlocul pădurii, dar aproape de drum și de Bansko. Probabil că de aceea au și început proprietarii să îl modernizeze.
Noi am stat într-una dintre camerele renovate, cu mobilier nou.
Camera este potrivită ca mărime, paturile confortabile, iar de pe balcon vezi pădurea.
Am prins un început de octombrie foarte friguros, dar gazdele au avut grijă să lase aerotermele pornite așa că în cameră a fost cald și bine.
Am stat o singură noapte, dar ne-am dori să facem aici un sejur mai lung.
Cu micul dejun a fost o mică neînțelegere, poate că ar fi fost mai bine să fi renunțat la el așa cum ne-au propus gazdele. Sala de mese a fost neîncălzită și a fost îngrozitor de frig.

Cons:

Deși erau multe routere, iar gazda ne-a răspuns imediat la mesaje și ne-a comunicat parolele, nu am reușit să ne conectăm la internet și nici să vedem posturile TV în varianta digitală. Nestînd decît o noapte, nu a fost totuși o problemă atît de mare.

Pros:

Τίποτα

Cons:

Τα πάντα και συγκεκριμένα η καθαριότητα , τα λευχήματα ήταν χρησιμοποιημένα το μπάνιο σε άθλια κατάσταση , το βράδυ είχε -4, και μας έκλεισαν το καλοριφέρ όλη την νύχτα , υπήρχαν αράχνες παντού , το πάτωμα ακαθαριστο , ο σκουπιδοτενεκές λερωμένος από τους προηγούμενους με χαρτιά μέσα και τα ποτήρια μέσα είχαν μπυρα επίσης από τοὺς προηγούμενους.

Great stay in Bankso for those who want to be in the forest and have a humble,local and authentic stay experience.
Pros:

This family run hotel although it feels that it comes from the 1980’ (probably it does), it has a true honest charm about it. Its facilities are somehow basic but it’s all laid out on their listing. So we knew what to expect. The family who runs the place and all the people are very friendly and definitely want to help the guest have their best stay, although their English is non existent. Ira the manager at the time, is very friendly and helpful and her English was perfect, which made it much easier to communicate. Overall I enjoyed the place and I think it’s for people who seek an authentic experience and atmosphere in Bankso.

Cons:

Staff didn’t speak English which made it a bit difficult to understand what was going on.
