“Calm, clean. When you look from the balcony at the houses around it, it's as if you're back in 40`s”
A very old house, renovated with the idea of preserving its authentic appearance. The steep and narrow streets are also authentic, paved with large flat stones. It's like going back in time.

The house is so nice and cosy, in the heart of the village, the garden is beautiful. Our room was really lovely with a lovely view from the wooden balcony that comes with the room. It is an old house but very comfortable and the owner is very very nice as well. Be careful, YOU CAN ONLY PAY BY CASH on arrival, and there is no ATM there, the closest is 30 minutes by car...

“Really authentic stay”
This was our second stay, and we again booked the big room with the balcony. It's so peaceful and wonderful there, and is an authentic Bojentsi house, inside as outside. There are a few restaurants around, but on monday they are all closed. So you can order from another guesthouse who delivers, and their food is delicious! (The owner leaves a menu in the living room)

“This place is charming and perfect for relaxation close to nature.”
The place is charming, preserving the charm of a traditional Balkan village. We liked our room, and loved the private balcony with the village and the mountain view. The host is very welcoming and responsive. We warmly recommend this hotel.

“Authentic experience in Bozhentsi”
19th centrury-like house with modern facilities. A lot has been invested to make it look truly authentic yet without impact on the comfort of the guests (note no air-conditioning - but there was no need for that, despite the August heat outside: high quality wooden house).
