Bobo Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about Bobo Apartment? I walked up those stairs on Žrtava Fašizma (don’t worry, locals just call it “the street behind the old market”) expecting another basic Budva rental, but this place actually has character. The building itself is pretty typical for this part of Montenegro – sort of that post-war architecture that’s everywhere in the Balkans – but once you’re inside, it feels like someone actually cares about the details.

The location is honestly perfect if you’re the type who wants to experience Budva without staying right in the tourist chaos. You’re literally a five-minute walk from Slovenska Plaža, but you won’t hear drunk Serbians singing folk songs at 3 AM (trust me, that’s a thing in the Old Town area). The apartment sits on the first floor – which means second floor if you’re American, ground floor is considered zero here – and there’s something satisfying about having that little bit of elevation without dealing with too many stairs when you’re hauling beach gear. Parking can be tricky during July and August, I mean, it’s Budva so that’s expected, but the side streets usually have spots if you don’t mind walking an extra block.

What really got me was how thoughtfully everything was set up. The kitchen actually has proper knives and more than two plates – you’d be amazed how many places here give you plastic everything and expect you to be grateful. The WiFi works consistently (tested it during a work call, no drops), and the AC doesn’t sound like a helicopter landing, which honestly puts it ahead of half the “luxury” places I’ve stayed at along the coast. The bathroom’s small but functional, with decent water pressure – again, not always a given in older Budva buildings. There’s this little balcony that catches morning sun perfectly if you’re an early coffee person, and you can actually see a slice of the Adriatic between the buildings if you crane your neck just right. The whole setup feels like someone’s grandmother’s apartment that got a modern refresh – comfortable furniture that doesn’t look like it came from a hotel catalog, local touches here and there. That 9.4 rating makes total sense once you spend a night here; it’s not trying to be fancy, it’s just genuinely well-done. For a 3-star place in Montenegro, where standards can be… let’s say flexible… this feels like finding a little gem that hasn’t been ruined by mass tourism yet.

Best hotels in Budva range from charming boutique properties in the historic old town to elegant beachfront resorts with stunning views of the Adriatic Sea and surrounding mountains.

Reviews

• Absolutely enjoyed. – Payal from United Kingdom – July 30, 2025 (10/10)

  The host was really friendly and accessible. The communication was hassle free and always helpful. Definitely enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend to any one viewing this property. The A/c was really fast cooling, much needed in the heat of July.

• Exceptional – Lucie from Czech Republic – July 18, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment is located only three minutes from the bus station. It was clean and comfortable. There is also a washing machine and a drying rack, which we greatly appreciated after a few days of traveling. The hostess was very kind and welcoming. I would love to stay here again during my future visit to Budva.

• Exceptional – Anastasia from Russia – June 4, 2025 (10/10)

  The hostess is very kind and caring, the apartment is perfectly clean, everything is comfortable. I would happily stay here again.

• Worth to try for anyone – Yuki from Japan – June 1, 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent location, only 3mins from the bus station, 1 mins from the mini market. Cozy room good for 1 or 2 people with balcony, well equipped, very clean. Only request if I make, it would be better if there is a microwave.
  
  What could be improved: None

• Ideal location for travelers relying on public transport – Sergei from Kazakhstan – May 26, 2025 (10/10)

  All we wanted was a comfortable apartment with a balcony near the Budva Bus Station, and Bobo Apartment turned out to be the perfect choice. At €37 per night in the off-season it seems like a good deal for Budva. Check in and communication went flawless.
  
  The Bus Station might be useful for breakfasts as well. If you need a fancy coffee place, take an 8 minute walk to the Noi Bakery & Coffee.

• Exceptional – Bruce from New Zealand – November 7, 2024 (10/10)

  2 min walk from the bus station. Quiet area only 20 mins walk to old town. Plenty of supermarkets close by.
  The bed was very comfortable and apartment had plenty of room. Washing machine is a bonus.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all.
