After my first snowboarding holiday in Jan 2011 in Bansko, we decided to visit Borovets in Jan 2012, which I can honestly say in my opinion was a million times better than Bansko. Borovets is full of life, loads to do during the day and at night, and it gives you that great holiday vibe seeing everyone enjoy themselves. The... More

Just a few meter away form the gondola lift, free parking and a very good spa i would say. The prices are really average. I am a snowboarder, I have been snowboarding in Borovets many times, the resort is very good, but I have never stayed in the hotel during the winter as I live only 60 km. away -... More

Stayed here in February 2012 and if it's all about location then this is the place for you. Positioned at the bottom of the nursery slope and main ski lift it gives you easy access to the ski depot and ski schools. The rooms are comfortable , basically furnished with good heating. They either look over the rear car park... More

We stayed in the Hotel Rila, Borovets, Bulgaria in early March 2012. We are both intermediate snowboarders aged in our late 20's, and picked Borovets as a cheap holiday.

We have always had studio rooms which are spacius and have an spectacular view overlooking the rila beginners slopes. The hotel offers a... More

The hotel got the best location in town, had a wonderfull swimming pool but rooms decoration are a 2 star hotel.

First the bad...the rooms in the hotel were definitely more hostel than hotel, very basic and dated. Now the good...the rooms (though basic) were kept very clean by the house keeping staff, they came every day and were very polite and friendly. The public areas of the hotel were clean and well maintained with plenty of variety - shops, pool,... More
