Try the delicious food of snackbar JOY in front of the gondola! They serve western and traditional Bulgarian food and make delicious pizzas. When the sun is shining and you sit with a cold beer on their terrace there is no better place in Borovets!

Come to Borovets for the second time with my wife and two young chhildren, even better than we remembered. Lots of snow, great ski runs. Last year we spent most evenings in katina corner bar which this year has changed its name to Snow Inn, the only place in the resort to get a real full english breakfast with real sausage and black pudding. friendly staff Zac, Danny and Paul speaking fluent english. Definetly reccomend calling in and trying for yourselves Nazdravey (cheers) Steve and family

This year we went to Bansko, having twice previously been to Borovets and have to say it was very good. Stayed in Hotel Lion which was very good and the food was better than I'd had in Borovets. I'd recommend going later in the season as we had some friends go in mid Feb and the queues were horrendous for the only gondola up to the main ski area whereas we never had to wait. Ski equipment is all newer and they did a great job of piste bashing each night.

Just home from a 2nd year in Borovets skiing and another fab time we had me my hubby my cousin and her boyfriend his brother and wife also (beginners) me and my cousin and our fellas had the same instructor as last year George Yarev fantastic he is totally patient kind hearted and fun. Snow was not as good as last year but we learned on new type of snow it was tough but still enjoyable. Stayed in Samokov hotel which is all u need bed and decent food bar is cosy hot chocolate and cocktails are great! Cant wait to get back next year !!! And as last year i was crying on way home loved it truly totally recommend it and of course our instructor Georgi.

I have just come back front my first ski holiday in Bulgaria at Pamporovo resort. I prepared by spending 4 days at Escape, but nothing could have prepared me for the fitness I needed to spend a week skiing at this wonderful resort. I have learned so much, enjoyed great scenery and ski runs. The snow and facilities are great and the Pamporovo team of instructors are highly competent and sensitive to each skiers needs. The "King" gave me great confidence and by the end of the week my fitness levels had improved to allow me to enjoy without the pain. Great value for money and a new passion for me at 55 years old, lifes full of surprises!

Went to Bansko last week in Jan 10...Fantastic stayed at the Perun (opposite the Loin) halfboard - the outdoor pool was a god send (really warm) and great for kids, they couldn't get enough of the old "snow angles" before leaping back in. The food at the hotel was good and have no complaints, the buffet style works very well the variation at breakfast and dinner meant there was nothing the same, and it was hot. 3 Lev for a large beer and 5 for a wine. Shuttle bus runs every 15 mins which we always caught at 9 am. Cues at the gondola were 10-15 min though we were always at the top station by 10 am ready for lessons. Instructors (Boris & Zlatin) were fab. Looks like most of the construction work has now finished (just a couple of shells left to be seen). Snow cover was excellent and the runs were well groomed.

just got back from a week in Borovets. Everything was great except that only two runs are fully open out of the 26 listed. Due to the lack of snow the ski schools have taken over the bottom of the blue slopes ar Rila and Iglika slopes, making them very crowded and sometimes dangerous. It is currently taking 20 mins to queue for the button lifts and only 1 min to ski the 200metres back down. Worst conditions in 20years apparently

Just come back from a one week stay in the Samakov Hotel. As with previous comments the hotel was probably very impressive when new but the years have taken its toll and its in need of alot of money being spent on it. Apart from that we found the hotel to be clean and tidy, always warm and plenty of hot water. Bathrooms cleaned and towels changed every day. Beds changed one during the stay. The hotel has plenty to do, but only the swimming is free, with towels provided. The restaurant was a bit hit and miss. Food was usually of a good standard although most of the time it was only warm and sometimes cold. Travelling with two children we always found something for them to eat. Ski school. This was the big hit of the holiday. My wife was not looking forward to ski-ing and was very nervous, but we got lucky with George Yarev, and I quote ' Probably the best ski instructor in the world.' As said in a previous comment, even the other ski instructors think he's the best. He's not just there to teach you, he genuinely wants you to really enjoy it. The ski resort itself was lively, the food we found to be of a good standard and no more expensive than the UK. Staff were friendly, but could sometimes be a nuisance by standing in the street and trying to get you to use their bar. Eating and drinking on the ski runs is best avoided as it was double the price, you even had to pay to use the toilets. On the whole a good holiday and would recommend it to a friend who is thinking of trying a ski holiday for the first time.
