First Impressions

Apartmány nad Tajovom sits in this quiet village about 15 minutes from Banská Bystrica, and honestly, the setting caught me off guard in the best way. You’re basically surrounded by rolling Slovak countryside, with the Tajov creek running nearby — hence the name “above Tajov.” It’s one of those places where you actually hear birds instead of traffic, which feels pretty rare these days.

The Apartment Experience

What I really appreciated was getting a proper apartment rather than just a hotel room. Each unit has its own kitchenette, which meant I could grab groceries in Banská Bystrica and actually cook something decent instead of eating out every meal. The spaces are clean and well-maintained — not fancy, but everything works and there’s enough room to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped.

Location Perks

The village of Tajov is small enough that you’ll probably meet half the locals during your stay, but that’s part of its charm. There’s a decent restaurant within walking distance if you don’t feel like cooking, and the owners can point you toward some nice hiking trails that most tourists never find. Plus, when you do need city amenities, Banská Bystrica is close enough for easy day trips.

What Makes It Work

The three-star rating feels about right — you’re not getting a spa or room service, but the value is solid and the peace and quiet more than makes up for any missing amenities. Parking is right there, which matters more than you’d think when you’re exploring this part of Slovakia by car. I mean, try finding decent parking in the city center and you’ll appreciate having a guaranteed spot.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you need constant entertainment and city buzz, this probably isn’t your place. But if you want a clean, comfortable base for exploring central Slovakia without paying city hotel prices, Apartmány nad Tajovom delivers exactly what it promises. The 8.9 rating makes sense — it’s the kind of spot that doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and guests seem to respect that honesty.

Great place! The apartment was very nice, clean and had everything we needed and the host was very friendly. It was quite away from the town centre, but it was exactly what we were looking for. We especially liked the terrace, where you can eat breakfast in the morning. Also thumbs up for the anti mosquito nets in the bedrooms' windows and lots hangers to dry your clothes or towels.

What could be improved: The water quality. It was still drinkable, but it was very soft, left weird residue on the skin and tasted different. You can get used to it after few days, but I would recommend bringing a water filter. Also one night we ran out of hot water, so don't go too excessive on long hot showers if you travel with more people or the last person has to shower in cold water ;)

What could be improved: First at all,, he's hiding in the property ad, that there is almost no separation between two apartments (as it is described in the previous review here), and that there is some unusual problem with the walls. I felt that I was sleeping together with other people since any sound from the room behind the wall, as from the outside, I heard inside.
The whole week in this accommodation I almost didn't have any possibility to sleep or to rest. The "solution" this owner suggested in our booking conversation that if I want a quiet place. - I should rent 2 apartments :D
Secondly, the most interesting thing is that now for my low score, and for that I didn't answer his demanding request to make the score higher, this slippery owner decided to lie about some damage, which he "noticed"
ONLY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON -
WHEN I LEFT THE APARTMENT ALREADY 3 DAYS AGO
And today morning I received the message :"The property owner is requesting a total of € 75 from you to pay for
damage caused to the following item(s): dvere do spálne" ?!
~
IN HIS BOOKING MESSAGE TO ME FROM SEPT 14 EVENING (THAT YOU CAN CHECK),
WHITH HIS REQUEST TO MAKE THE SCORE HIGHER -WAS NOT A WORD ABOUT ANY DOOR PROBLEM.,
AS ALSO NOT THE NEXT DAY.
~
I have never seen such a cheating and ungrateful attitude towards the guests in the accommodations before,
definitely not in Australia where I came from.
I don't know anyone who leaves the apartments in such perfect condition as I am and who is so careful with things.
Probably this deceiver didn't expect that I photographed everything before my check-out morning Sept 14.
Wow ..for your really amazing response - did you expect that for1000 Euro per 9 days
I'll use only one not comfortable, skimpy hospital bed?
I rented the whole place...
The lies of this greedy owner are disgusting, The cupboards when I left were almost empty from my things and unusually for the last guests days clean - as in my photos below.

Ubytování je nové, čisté, útulné a praktické. Podle mě zde najdete vše, co potřebujete. Ocenili jsme venkovní altánek pro grilování, kde se velice pohodlně sedělo i za deště. Pan majitel je velmi ochotný a vše potřebné ihned doplnil. Navíc bydlí vedle, což je v případě nestandardních potřeb velká výhoda. Kuchyňka je dostatečně vybavená, chyběla nám jen malá miska na cereálie ke snídani, ale tu lze nahradit talířem, takže je tu vše potřebné. I koupelna je dostatečně vybavena.

What could be improved: Na dovolenou se člověk nejede dívat na televizi, ale protože jsem onemocněla, ocenila bych pohodlnější sezení u televize. Ještě chci zmínit, že voda z vodovodu byla pitná, ale pro nás byla nezvykle cítit, takže jsme na pití vodu raději kupovali.
