Festa Winter Palace Hotel ★★★★★

"We really enjoyed our stay at Festa Winter Palace. We stayed in a suite and had plenty of room for two adults and an older teen. There was a large double bed in one room and a separate bed in the other room. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of options. We really enjoyed the spa which was in good condition and very friendly staff. There is a good sized pool (often busy in the afternoon, steam, sauna, salt room and relax room. We hired ski equipment from the hotel, it was of a good standard and the facility was well managed. Great to be able to store equipment at the hotel. Very good location, quiet but very close to the four man chair lift. The gondola was about a 15 minute walk when fully kitted up for skiing!"

Hotel Grand ★★★

"Hotel was OK - average but OK for Bulgaria and at the price charged. The room was large and OK. It was warm and clean. The restaurant & bar was actually quite good - breakfast was average by UK standards but it was OK."

Rila Hotel Borovets ★★★★

Hotel Cota1110 ★★★

"One of the best hotels in the area, we're already dreaming of return. The place balances perfectly minimal design with deep respect to local traditions and culture. Rooms are calm with a luxurious bed, ours had breathtaking view. The restaurant is also a spot on. Phenomenal local food, mix between contemporary taste and first-class local products. The service was impeccable—attentive without being too intrusive. The staff offered fantastic, personal recommendations for hikes that avoided the crowded trails."

Hotel Samokov ★★★★

"Stayed here so many times luv the place it's like returning to a old friends place..this time 6floor lift down button not working...so usually went up b4 u come down. As regulars call lift roulette..just add a min/2 to journey. Reception/bar area ,great to see the same people still doing what they have done for years .and also same guests that you've met in the past. Still good value €3 a pint. In a hotel in ski resort. Food as standard in restaurant.. It like marmite, some luv it, some loathe it.. and 3xs toaster .those who know, know. Location is fabulous. Just midway on road opposite gondola. So easy to top of mountain. Hotel has a lot to offer air gun range, 10 pin bowling, table tennis, massive swimming poole saunas, and parking. Ski storage at bottom of hotel.. Stay and join the WE ❤️ SAMOKOV HOTEL!"

Persey Flora Apartments ★★★

"Good breakfast"

Yagoda & Malina Villas ★★★

"I stayed here with family & friends for skiing in nearby Borovets. Staff were very friendly & helpful and it was a very peaceful quiet area. Our cabin was basic, but clean & cosy. There was an endless supply of piping hot water, plenty of towels provided and all linens changed half way through the week. Kitchen utensils are very sparse- I will bring stackable camping pans & some bowls next time. Snacks + 1 or 2 pasta dinners are manageable but not comfortable for self catering every meal. We had 1 or 2 breakfasts and evening meals in the restaurant but for variety also ate in the village. The non-skier in our group used the fitness centre & sauna during the day and could walk to Borovets for apres ski. There are plenty of taxi drivers around Borovets for evenings in the village, but I found the fare is a bit too expensive to use them every day (€10 each journey in Feb 2026). The teens in my group would have liked stronger wifi."

Villa Yagoda ★★

"I can recommend this place."

Hotel Malyovitsa ★★★

"The hotel is very nice. It is very well renovated and refreshed. The room we were accommodated in was very clean, large, tidy and warm. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the view from the bar is amazing. In general, the hotel is very well heated, which is very important for a mountain hotel. The breakfast was very tasty. The price-quality ratio is excellent and we will gladly come back again."
