Best place in Borovets is definitely Nick's chalet - Four Seasons. Trust me, we've been to many places but I haven't seen such a great chalet .It's so clean and breakfast is out of this world. Nick and Mariana will always help you. Nick organizes ski equipment, ski school (he's a very patient ski instructor)Restaurants around the chalet are much better and cheaper than those in Borovets. We are definitely coming back

just back from first ski holiday in borovets.had great time with great snow and scenery.our nine yr old son had an amazing time skiing same slopes as us in his lessons.sadly our five yr old daughter didnt have same experience.borosports (main ski school) only start lessons from 7yr so we had booked her into ski kindergarten,which for an aware 5 1/2yr old isnt ideal.we did get a private lesson for her and she was away,snow ploughing down the greens without a bother. otherwise great experience.Oh one other tip,make sure you take small domination in lev as the restaurants love to round things up and say they dont have change!!

I came to Boro on end of 01/2012, to spend the annual ski holiday, with my son, to change a little, being last years in Italy and Austria. Beautiful place, plenty of fresh snow, nice people, good food, I have only good words to say on this resort, its is absolutely worth the money. We stayed at Rila hotel, HB, very nice, good service and delicious food. I would want to come back again later this year, to try night skiing, snowboarding etc. Hasta la vista !

White magic! There isn't a more entertaining, welcoming, friendly bar in Bulgaria. The food and the family that run the place are fantastic and you would be a fool not to go there.

We arrived in borovets on Saturday 7th jan 2012, to snow that was the best they had seen in 100 years. It was a lovely compact resort with great skiing areas. We stayed in the samokov hotel which was good for the price we paid. The best part of the hotel was the ski school, our instructor, Angel was a fantastic guid through the whole week. Really enjoyed the week and would recommend Borovets to anyone; the area is lovely, views are beautiful and the locals are welcoming.
