Questions and answers
Booking and stay
How much does a cottage in Szklarska Poręba cost in 2026?
The price of renting a holiday cottage in Szklarska Poręba in 2026 depends mainly on the season, length of stay and number of guests. At the Borszówka Resort, prices start at attractive off-season rates and rise during the most popular periods, such as summer holidays, winter holidays and New Year’s Eve. Our cottages offer complete privacy, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable conditions and mountain views – without compromise.
What determines the price of a cottage?
- Season – the lowest prices apply off season, while the highest apply in summer and winter
- Length of stay – the longer the stay, the better the nightly rate
- Number of guests – the base price covers a specified number of guests; additional guests may incur a surcharge
- Weekends vs weekdays – weekend stays are usually more expensive than weekday stays
- Special date – New Year’s Eve, holidays and long weekends are priced individually
For the best price, plan your stay in advance or choose dates outside the peak season.
The cheapest dates – when should you book?
The lowest cottage prices in Szklarska Poręba are usually available in March, April, May outside the May holiday weekend, November and early December. This is ideal for guests who value peace, fewer crowds and the best value for money.
Demand is highest during:
- Winter holidays
