Don't go to the "Pirin" hotel, Bansko ski resort, Bulgaria
My family and I stayed at the "Pirin" hotel in Bansko, Bulgaria from the 28th of February till the 6th of March.
We enjoyed the mountain resort and had great time skiing and snowboarding.
One of our rooms had only one bathrobe, but we didn't pay much attention to this, and used only one bathrobe when we went to the pool.
As we were leaving the hotel, the receptionist told us that we are missing a bathrobe.
We told her that we didn't have two bathrobes to begin with, and we absolutely don't need to take a bathrobe with us home.
At this moment she told us that she wouldn't give my sisters' passport back unless we pay 70 lv( which is approximately 35 euros)
We tried to explain that we didn't hide or burn or do anything with the bathrobe, and we didn't even use it because we didn't have it in our room.
"You should have reported it as soon as you got the room", well, it's not my job to count various objects in the room, and report my findings to the receptionist, I told her.
"It is impossible to have only one bathrobe" was the only answer I got, and after threatening us by calling the police, and showing off their security thugs, I had no choice but to pay for the bathrobe I never even used.
It was a very embarrassing experience, and a very bad way to end a great vacation, needless to say 35 euros were stolen from me with nothing I could do about it.
But the most amazing part was that I spoke to another couple, on the way to the airport, who stayed in this hotel, and they said that the hotel staff did the exact thing to them!
I really enjoyed Bansko, the atmosphere there is amazing, the ski slopes are great and the people are very friendly,
but if you ever go there DO NOT stay and the Pirin hotel! They lied and stole my money.
