Sent on 15 January 2012Not recommended, this resort is not working, only 2 short ski lifts. I was in hotel Bor and it was renovated, but our room had old beds and dusty blankets, the pillow was like a solid rock. As i heard hotel Rila is even worse. I recommend visiting Bansko, you will spend maybe little more, but at the end it will be well spend money. Score: 0/5
