Apartament Pod Borem Zakopane APARTZAKOP Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartament Pod Borem Zakopane APARTZAKOP, honestly, the name’s a bit of a mouthful — but the location immediately made sense. You’re staying right in the Jaszczurówka-Bory area, which is actually one of those spots that locals know but tourists often miss. It’s this three-star place that doesn’t try to be fancy, but man, does it nail the essentials. The free parking right on site was the first thing that caught my attention — you know how rare that is in Zakopane, especially somewhere this well-positioned.

Location & Mountain Access

Here’s what really sets this place apart: the ski-to-door access is legit. I mean, you can literally step out and be on the slopes, which saves you that whole morning shuffle of getting to the lifts. The Jaszczurówka area sits perfectly between the main town buzz and the quieter mountain trails — it’s like having the best of both worlds without the tourist crowds right outside your window. Recent guests rated the location 8.2, and honestly, I get why. You’re close enough to walk into central Zakopane when you want that evening energy, but far enough out to actually hear the mountains instead of traffic.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself feels more like staying at a friend’s mountain place than a typical hotel room. There’s this practical, lived-in quality that works really well after a day on the slopes — you can spread out your gear, make some tea in the kitchenette, and actually relax. The setup is straightforward but thoughtful; everything you need is there without unnecessary frills. What I appreciated most was how quiet it gets at night — the Bory area doesn’t have that constant hum of the main tourist strips.

Perfect for Couples

I noticed a lot of couples here, and it makes total sense why they rate it so highly for romantic getaways. There’s something about the combination of mountain views and that cozy apartment feel that just works for two people. You’re not dealing with hotel hallway noise or cramped spaces — you get your own little mountain retreat. The area around Jaszczurówka has these beautiful walking paths that are perfect for evening strolls, especially when the snow’s fresh and everything looks like a postcard.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to wow you with a fancy lobby or a full-service spa, but that’s not really the point. What it does is give you authentic mountain access without the tourist markup. The combination of that ski-to-door convenience, reliable parking, and a location that feels genuinely Polish rather than touristy — that’s what keeps people coming back. Plus, at this price point for Zakopane, you’re getting way more space and freedom than you would in most hotels. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel like you’re living in the mountains for a few days, not just visiting them.
