Looking to find out what the rooms are like and the food.

re: Samokov-Borovets

Wow! you two should meet up!

re: Samokov-Borovets

we did, thats why we are married to each other, i resent the question with my wifes name in case she got a better response, seeing as she is female and therefore people are more likly to reply, but hey guess what no one could be bothered to reply to either of us, well except one smart arse. Brian

re: Samokov-Borovets

I'm struggling to get my head around how putting exactly the same post in the same thread with a woman's name would elicit a better response, but I this part of the site is largely deserted at this time of year so you might have to wait a day or two.

re: Samokov-Borovets

Yes, i shouldnt have put it up in a same thread, i should have reworded it and put it on a new thread with my wifes name, and seen if i get a better response, but there you go, we've decided not to go to the samokov now and will be going to the rila instead.

re: Samokov-Borovets

wow - smart arse eh? sense of humour failure or what!
At least my replying to it bumped it back to the top again!

re: Samokov-Borovets

Geez - Brian and Sheryl - I'd really like to wish you a nice holiday in Boro at the Rila BUT coming on board with an attitude like yours........ sorry, no can do!!!!!

Brian

May not be much help but the board is very quiet at this time of the year, which is why you possibly havent had a very good reponse. Post again in september when the volume of posters starts to pick up and there may be people who can answer your question. If you need to book before you may just have to take a chance on another hotel.

re: Samokov-Borovets

Brian, The 'superior' rooms at the Iglika are bigger, newer and the best in the hotel. If you found your room on the small side perhaps you weren't in the new wing on the right hand side of reception. The online tour operators in the last few years ran offers of 'free' upgrades to the 'superior' rooms so may do so again for next season.

Regarding the food, for what it's worth the Iglika tends to get more positive comments than the Samokov on this site.
