If you like unfettered nature, located in a small village through which a river gushes, and close to a beautiful monastery, the Magic of the Rhodopes is for you. It is a family run establishment and one feels the homely atmosphere. It is laid back but service is good and prices not over the top. Unlike in other places, our room had a bath! There is a big pool and patrons sit around it under umbrellas all day. Because it is relatively at high altitude (for Europeans) the air is crisp and it cools down properly at night. Apart from the monastery, driving into the mountains to see the Wonderful Bridges as well as the Ancient Road is a must. Best is to stay 2 nights.

The breakfast was quite basic, probably a matter of taste, too but not what I usually have for breakfast. The coffee was good.

Information on how to get there was scarce. I don't know if I made a mistake when I copied the address available on the Booking website (80 Osvobozhdenie street, Bachkovo, 4251, Bulgaria) into the google maps app on my phone or there was a system malfunction, but we were initially taken to another location (1 hour drive away). In a second stage we arrived in the locality, but it was impossible to understand how to get to this place, the owner had to drive to our location and guide us. So, to make things easier for others, the coordinates are as follows: 41.9447203, 24.8500608.

All was good

The internet connection, very often dropping, unstable

The view of the mountain is amazing, pretty calm, staffs were pretty nice and respectful.

The room we received had a small defect, especially the bed one. Unfortunately, the mattress was not comfortable. Once you start laying down, the other side is lifting up. There is an issue with the balance.

Lovely traditional building with large rooms. Overlooking pool and woods beyond. Hotelier very welcoming and spoke good English. Food was smashing.

Bed was a little firm

Lovely staff very helpful. The room was immaculate

Did not realise just how terrible the road was. Went to the monastery and was disappointed as though it was meant to be open the app was not working so I did not understand anything about it. A few of the rooms were not open and I was told in a while they would be.

Great food and clean rooms. The family/staff were very accomodating and friendly.

The location doesn't show on all maps.

Beautiful place in the Rhodope Mountains, spacious and comfortable rooms, incredibly hospitable owners. The food was very delicious. Everything was perfect :)

Very nice house. I think, it would be very nice to stay here during a summer. We had a big and bright room. Breakfast was not varios but tasty and satisfying. And no problem with staing with a pet.

A little bit strange surroundings.

Warm, Clean, all you need, easy to checkin

all was fine

Location was great, people were polite. We came with our dog, we didn't have any issues. Free parking, Wi-Fi. We would come again.

The location is really great, close to monastyre and with nice views. Food was very tasty with a variety of regional dishes. Host was helpful and responsive.

In one of the rooms the smell from the drain in the bathroom was bad, in the other room it was ok.

Amazing place, beautiful complex Definitely will visit again

We returned after about 4 years and found the same kind hosts with great care for their guests. The place has a beautiful mountain view. The food is very good. We stayed in the apartment and it is very spacious. Our friends stayed in the studio and it is also spacious.

The internet connection is weak. The road to the location is bad.These are things that cannot be controlled by the owners of this property.

The staff was awesome. They were very helpful from the booking, the stay and until checkout.
