Really comfy, pet friendly, very nice host

I loved the location and the aesthetic, cabin like.

It is a shared bathroom, but Pandorka said she would update the description to mention that so I am not judging too harshly.

Spacious apartment with friendly host

Friendly host. Simple but spacious apartment (up to 6 beds) with toilet, hot shower and even a fridge.

An induction cooker is available, but no sink.

Friendly, lakeside apartment. 10/10.

The host was so lovely, she made it feel like nothing was too much, we had a lovely chat together. The location was ideal. Right by the lake, with a great restaurant nearby. Beautiful garden too! We would definitely stay again.

A bit difficult to find, so when you see the Pandora sign, go up the walkway up the stone pathway and to the left. Go up the stairs there.

Disappointment

nothing, just the kindness of the hostess

Our experience at this accommodation was quite disappointing. What we found upon arrival was far from what the photos show. The house clearly needs some updates, especially when it comes to cleanliness and comfort. From the start, it was clear that cleanliness was not a priority: there was a plate with crumbs left on the fireplace shelf and a nearly empty bottle of wine, as if the previous guests hadn't fully left. The sheets and towels didn’t smell fresh, and only one of the beds actually seemed clean. Also, the sheets were rough—like the old curtains at my grandmother’s house in the countryside. One of the most concerning issues was that one day we discovered someone (presumably the host) had entered the house without informing us. They left a window open and an extension cord plugged in, running down to the garden—again, without our consent. That made us feel like we didn’t have real privacy. Also, if you like sleeping in the dark, this place might not be for you: there are no curtains on the windows, so a lot of light comes in early in the morning. The bathroom is very small and clearly in need of renovation. And surprisingly, there wasn’t even a proper wardrobe or closet to put our clothes in—just a few hangers on the wall, which really isn’t enough for a stay of several days. The only good thing about the place was Pandora, the host. She’s a lovely woman who welcomed us warmly and was very kind. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make up for the many downsides of the accommodation. We wouldn’t return or recommend it in its current state.

A spacious chalet in the heart of Mavrovo National Park

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.

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…

Overnight stay in Mavrovo

We stayed just for one night. Host is very kind person, we arrived late in the evening and she brought us coffee and cups for tomorrow morning and gave us all necessary information about the place. Beds are perfectly comfort, we managed to rest like the kings. Temperature in the apartment was just as it has to be. We will come again to Pandora for longer stay, that's for sure!

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

Nothing. It’s all great

Enjoyable spot for seeing the park.

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

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

A cheaper option in an expensive town sharing a bathroom

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!

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..

The uninvited gossiper

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 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.

We had a lovely one night stay post skiing. Hosts were great, apartment was comfortable and cozy.

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

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

Good location in Mavrovo village. The host was friendly. The room and facilities were clean and there was a good hot shower.

Overall it was a little 'basic', perhaps because it was out of season and I was the only guest.
