Hotel Description

You know what? Apartmani Barbara caught me off guard in the best possible way. I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place, but sometimes those assumptions just make you look foolish. The building has this understated charm that grows on you, sort of like when you meet someone who becomes more attractive the longer you talk to them.

What really won me over was how the staff actually seemed to care about getting things right. Check-in was smooth – none of that awkward hovering while they figure out their system – and they had genuine recommendations, not just the touristy stuff everyone pushes. The apartments themselves are honestly better than half the 4-star places I’ve stayed at. Everything works (and I mean everything, which is rarer than it should be), the beds are actually comfortable, and there’s enough space to spread out without tripping over your suitcase every five minutes. The kitchenette situation is legit too – you can actually cook a proper meal if you want to save some money or just got tired of restaurant food.

Here’s the thing about the location that nobody mentions in those generic descriptions: it’s in one of those sweet spots where you’re close enough to walk to the good stuff but far enough away that you’re not dealing with drunk tourists stumbling past your window at 2 AM. I found myself taking different routes back each day just because the neighborhood has character – actual people live here, not just visitors passing through. Parking was way easier than I expected, which honestly saved my sanity because I’d heard horror stories about finding a spot in the area. The 7.8 rating makes total sense once you’re there a day or two. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does, it does well. The value proposition is solid – you’re getting more than you pay for without any nasty surprises lurking in the fine print. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. It’s the kind of place you recommend to friends when they ask for somewhere reliable without breaking the bank.

To book a hotel in Budva during peak Mediterranean season, travelers need early planning as this coastal gem draws visitors eager to experience its pristine beaches and historic old town.

Reviews

  • Ege from Turkey – 5 September 2024 (9/10)

    It was very nice with everything. It has a nice balcony. It has kitchen in it.

    What could be improved: The only thing missing is hair dryer.

  • Alla from Russia – 14 November 2023 (9/10)

    Very friendly hosts and good location.

  • Perperidis from Greece – 28 August 2024 (8/10)

    Cosy apartment in a walking distance from the beach. The host was really helpful!

  • Svetlana from Serbia – 26 August 2024 (8/10)

    I want to highly rate the exceptional service of Filip. He was always there to help in the best possible way.

  • Tatiana from Montenegro – 12 October 2023 (8/10)

    Everything was great, thanks a lot. Clean and good vibe

  • Artem from Slovakia – 24 July 2024 (4/10)

    It was ok for a last minute booking.

    What could be improved: Apartment didn't match the pictures. It had no sofa, no table. Just a bed with kitchen on the side.

  • Dovlev from North Macedonia – 22 August 2024 (5/10)

    The bed was large. And that was all, to be honest.

    What could be improved: When we first entered the apartment, I already saw that something wasn't right. On closer inspection, we saw that the toilet wasn't clean, nor was the whole bathroom, to be honest. The floor also wasn't clean. The kitchen had stains on it from greasy fingers. The sponge was old, very used, and there was no dish soap. We contacted the owner of the apartment about this and they said that it must be a mistake and that they would clean it as soon as we left the apartment. They did clean it, but if it was a "2" when we first entered, when we got back it was a "6". We had to buy garbage bin sacks and had to wash the cutlery and kitchenware before using them. The towels were not quite clean, so I recommend bringing your own if you decide to stay here. Also, the parking that they provide is not quite right. You can't come and go when you like. It's more like you can go when your car is free to take it out. We were woken up at 2 in the morning to move our car one space for no apparent reason, and one time we were asked if we were going out so someone else could park there. If you want a good vacation, don't go to Budva; go to Kotor or Tivat. This was the last time we will go here.
    P.S. The Wi-Fi was terrible; we had to use up all our roaming data, and the headrest on the bed had so much dust that when we wiped it with a cloth, the cloth was black.

  • İrem from Turkey – 3 October 2023 (9/10)

    Konumu güzeldi,evde gayet temizdi,çok rahat ettiğim bir konaklama oldu,teşekkürler ✨🫶

    What could be improved: Su ve giderlerle ilgili bir sorun vardı lavaboda,tek sorun oydu oda çok büyük sıkıntı ettiğim bir durum değildi kullandıktan sonra sürekli vanadan kapatmak gerekiyordu sadece.

  • Vladimir from Serbia – 7 September 2023 (9/10)

    Čisto,udobno

    What could be improved: Osoblje

  • בן from Israel – 30 August 2023 (9/10)

    הדירה היתה יפה מאוד ונעימה התאימה לנו בדיוק לשהיה של 2 לילות. המטבח ואיזור השינה אינם מופרדים אבל לנו זה לא הפריע
    המיקום היה טוב מבחינת המרכז, 10 דקות הליכה הגענו לאיזור הראשי שממנו אפשר להמשיך לטייל לעיר העתיקה זה היה נחמד מאוד
    האיזור עצמו מנומנם אבל לנו לא הפריע

    What could be improved: לא היה קומקום חשמלי
