A beautiful chalet in the woods, just steps from the Mavrovo ski center and the lovely restaurant with a splendid view of Lake Mavrovski Merak. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and above all, the wonderful hospitality of Pandora and her husband. This place has remained in our hearts, and we will definitely return.

There is a cosy small bedroom on the first floor for 2 people, but it is a bit akward and quite demanding for the other members of the visiting group who sleep downstairs, in not so much comfortable bunk beds, that the toilet and bathroom and access to water is only on the first floor, so it meant climbing the long wooden staircase several times up and down…

A spacious chalet in the heart of Mavrovo National Park, great base for hiking in the surrounding mountains. It is a part of a big family house, there are a lot of beds, and there is even a fireplace for winter months. The owner was nice and helpful. Free parking close to the house.

Nothing. It’s all great

I was alone but this is an entire ski chalet. I was here in summer and got a great price. The family are super nice. Best I’ve had in North Macedonia. The place sleeps about 7 or 8. Full kitchen. Garden view. Parking. WiFi very decent. They have a big fire and wood for winter. Perfect location for hiking or skiing. Excellent

Only downside was wifi was a bit slow, but it’s a more remote area.

Nice spot by the lake and old church. Good for exploring Mavrovo national park. The host was very kind and good communication. Cozy room.

Sharing the bathroom with the family I thought might be a problem but they hardly seemed to use it! . There are number of stairs to the property which would not be a problem if you didn’t have a bicycle or mobility problem, but it was fine. I was able to chain my bike up downstairs in the carport under cover..

A rustic cheaper option in a family home hosted by Oliver. The bedroom is spacious and Oliver is nice. Everything was clean, even if things were a bit old and rusted and I was happy with the accommodation and also the place close by that Oliver recommended to eat!

The host Pandora has a tendency uninvitingly to engage in discussions about sensitive topics such as religion, nationalities, and generalization of groups, which I didn't find particularly respectful. On the contrary, they were offensive. It concerned people with different nationalities and religions that gave her negative reviews and probably other reasons that made her express her negative hate feelings which were disturbing for us but fortunately we reacted peacefully. At times, she was intrusive asking questions such as what is your job, how old are you, and where you are from? As someone who just rents the room or a chalet for a night and wanted to have rest, all these abovementioned reasons upset me and my wife. Regarding transportation, it is difficult to reach if you don't have your own vehicle. The yard is full of things, such as materials and working tools and the smell of hens. The cab wasn't even a cab but a regular car with two people who were going somewhere. It cost us 400 denars (for 6,5 km) with no taximeter, which I consider expensive. In Skopje, the taxi is 30 denars per km with 60 denars starting tarif. The area by the Ski Center, which was the closest point of recreation, was full of garbage and street dogs that followed us everywhere. Only one restaurant nearby which was full of people, there wasn't a place to have a coffee or any kind of drink. I find the area at the south of the lake quite deserted, and if I add everything above, including the intrusive behavior and offensive conversation of the owner, 30 euro per night is not worth it. Better get yourself a tent and camping equipment and enjoy nature by yourself.

The accommodation was decent, modest, warm, and clean. I won't advise people with high expectations to go there, only if you go there to sleep for a few nights and have a shower, I guess, is fine. It was the cheapest accommodation in the area. The owner, on our request, called us a cab from Mavrovi Anovi (to where we arrived with bus from Skopje).

The house is very nice with a fantastic view among the pine trees and has enough space! The location is very close to the ski slope. Also the owners of the house are very nice and very helpful people.

We had some trouble locating the apartment, signage/wayfinding could use improvement.

The hosts were wonderful and helpful, the apartment was warm and cozy, perfect for what we needed. The value was excellent.

There was some confusion about the provision of cooking facilities - we thought there would be a shared kitchen, but in the end we were provided with some cooking equipment and a portable hob. Water from the tap in our bathroom. Pandora washed our dishes. We gave up on the second day, and ate in a restaurant.

An authentic experience of a Macedonian home. Basically a two storey house without a kitchen, so we had lots of room! I think the property could sleep at least 8. We talked to Pandora and her family in the evening, which was very nice. Their raki was too. We could wash our clothes and dry them on the washing line in the garden. Walking distance to the ski centre and local shops.

The hospitality of the owner is definitely at its highest. If you need company and pleasant stay, specially if you are alone, choose them. The kitchen was shared with the owners which is a great way to spend time together preparing food or coffee chatting with the owners.
