We chose this hotel following a holiday last year to Borovets where we stayed at the Rila. You cannot compare the hotels! Yanakiev is by far superior. We had a lovely welcome, food bag left for us in reception on arrival which was a nice touch. Rooms were lovely. Modern, spacious, warm and comfortable. We were lucky to have one... More

As per previous. Excellent hotel, perfect location, great ski hire and lessons from hotel ski depot which makes things very easy. Truly ski to the door. spa lovely, swimming pool fab, rooms clean and lovely. Food: breakfast ok, dinner at best lukewarm and ok, at worst stone cold and frankly inedible! Children in hotel bar until lateish quite annoying, banging... More

The Hotel Yanakiev was great, I'd read several reviews and most of them are spot on. The room was small but comfortable, well heated and had a mini bar which was roughly priced the same as the shops so I kept cleaning it out. The staff were helpful and polite and the bar reasonably priced with good views looking onto... More

We had a standard room with a balcony overlooking the road. The room was lovely and warm with a king size double bed and a comfy mattress to match which was lovely after a day spent skiing. The room also had a minibar and there was enough room in the fridge to store your own drink and food. There were... More

My family and I have stopped in Borovets a number of times in various hotels. This year we decided on the Yanakiev and we found the hotel, although one of the more expensive in Borovets, had the same disappointing points as hotels less expensive. The hotel was without question the most comfortable we have stayed in Borvets, clean, fresh and... More

We have just returned from Borovets (7 of us including one child) staying at the Yanakiev and i would pretty much agree with the last review. We have been to Borovets before and also to Bansko and the one thing that lets the hotels down is the quality of food on a b&b and half board basis. The Yanakiev is... More

we stopped here at new year, there was 16 off us at the hotel, it was very clean and the staff were welcoming especially iliana, the rooms were spacious and had flat screen tvs with a lot of channels in English the only downside to our room was a tiny bath you could only sit in but some of our...

A few years ago we stayed at the Rila Hotel, not very impressed at all! Sooooo glad we tried Yanakiev, everything was spot on! We had a family room over looking the slopes, fantastic view! Very clean, food very good- something for everyone! Lovely warm pool. We could ski straight out on to the slopes. We shall definitely be going... More
