Apartments Balabusic

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from Apartments Balabusic when I first pulled up – honestly, the name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, and three stars had me prepared for something pretty basic. But here’s the thing about this place that surprised me: it’s one of those hidden gems that punches way above its weight class, which explains that solid 8.6 rating from people who’ve actually stayed there.

The apartment setup is what really won me over, I mean, after weeks of cramped hotel rooms, having actual space to spread out felt like luxury. The kitchenettes aren’t just for show either – they’ve got everything you need if you want to grab some local groceries and skip the tourist restaurant prices for a night or two. The owner, who I’m guessing is from the Balabusic family, clearly put thought into the little details. Fresh linens that actually smell clean (you’d be surprised how rare that is), decent water pressure in the showers, and – this might sound weird but it matters – the WiFi actually works in every corner of the room, not just if you’re sitting directly under the router. I noticed they keep the common areas really tidy too, which tells you something about how the place is managed day-to-day.

What honestly impressed me most was how quiet it stays, even when the building seems pretty full. The walls must be thicker than average because I never heard neighbors stomping around or having loud phone calls at weird hours. Parking was straightforward too – none of that driving in circles for twenty minutes hoping to find a spot situation. The check-in process was refreshingly simple, just a quick chat and here’s your keys, no endless forms or upselling attempts. Sure, it’s not going to have a fancy lobby or room service, but sometimes you just want a clean, comfortable base where you can actually relax between exploring. For the price point, I’d definitely come back – it’s the kind of place where you feel like you got more than what you paid for, which is pretty rare these days.

• Kuznetsov from Serbia – 18 August 2024 (9/10)

  Good!

  This was my second time traveling to Montenegro, first time in Budva. We spent a few nights trying to find a good place to stay and decided to go to Balabusic at the end.
  Balabusic is in a really good place from where you can get to Slovenska beach in 5 to 7 minutes and to the nearest grocery shop in just 2-3 minutes. Also, this apartment is on the second line from the beach which is an advantage in this case, because there are quite a lot of night clubs right on the beach, so living even closer to the beach would lead to sleepless nights.
  Balabusic apartments look according to the photos on Booking, they are clean, full-equiped, light and spacious. The owners are amazing people who were always glad to help us when we asked for something; they changed our bath towels every day and once fully cleaned our apartment (we stayed there for 10 days).
  
  What could be improved: The only thing which made us upset was almost full absence of Internet in the apartments. Each room has it's own router with it's separate WiFi, but it is still too slow. Sometimes we were unable to send even a text message to our relatives at home, we could hardly ever make a phone call.
  To have Internet everywhere we also bought a Sim-card there, but the connection was still weak, so you better not rely on it.

• Brittany from Greece – 10 July 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment was very clean, the hosts were very kind people who couldn’t do more for us. It was just a short walk to the budva waterfront and about a 20 minute walk to old town.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Magl88 from Ukraine – 29 May 2023 (9/10)

  1) Very good hosts, more thanks to them!
  2) Good location, close to shops, bakeries, gas stations, bus stop. Close to the beaches, you can easily get to them.
  3) The room is clean and comfortable, there are utensils for cooking.
  We liked it very much, we recommend visiting.
  
  What could be improved: There are no mosquito nets on the windows. You can hear the sound of cars on the road a little.

• Xhuana from United Kingdom – 11 August 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Expected higher standards of hygiene

• Aline from France – 29 August 2023 (1/10)

  Nothing
  
  What could be improved: The owner is extremely rude (not only with me with me but with all guests).
  Wi-Fi doesn’t work properly.
  Address given in booking isn’t the correct one, you don’t have data in your phone to talk to them you won’t find it.
  
  I would never stay again there. My vacation mood was gone with the rude owner, I was happy to leave.

• Berfin from Turkey – 9 October 2024 (8/10)

  Konum
  
  What could be improved: Tatil için gittiğimiz yerde, aileler de olduğu için biraz bile ses çıkardığımızda uyarı alıyorduk 🙂
  Ayrıca otopark problemi mevcut. Boş yer varsa yardımcı olabiliyorlar
