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 ★★★★

"A hotel, but not as we know it! Family Group of 8 (4 Twins) booked B&B in Borovets for our Annual Ski Break. Our Samakov Hotel expectations would be reasonable; friendly staff, welcoming, clean, well maintained, basic breakfast, bar and reasonable location. We received a nice welcome, quick check in and made it to the lift. The lifts give you concerns they will break down at any time, the twin rooms are basic, TV, Balcony, WC, Bathroom. Don’t have a shower, if you do (which would be a reasonable expectation), your bathroom will resemble a wet room (more like a paddling pool), the baths are not sealed! Shower heads broken, towels thread bear. Housekeeping; it’s a change of towels; no cleaning and only wipe down. This was witnessed on a few days. Breakfast - free 4 all, buffet style. Any hot drinks taste like the sewers, orange juice is diluted rootbeer. Food served cold (they even give you a microwave to help warm up) and quality was below reasonable. After a few days the rumour around the Borovets chats was a virus was sweeping the village. Now, you dismiss as it never happens to you, but within 48 hours our group got hit, 24 hrs of bed ridden hell! The source, alleged water. Not defined as the Samokov, but the warnings signs were evident in hindsight. On reflection, housekeeping not using cleaning materials, public toilets not maintained with broken doors, air dryers etc; In terms of the hotel, at best it needs to be demolished, at worst a ‘turn key’ restoration. Avoid and research every available platform and make your choice."

Persey Flora Apartments ★★★

"When I first arrived I was really disappointed because the place was unclean in places and had dirty mats. The decor was very outdated. The pillow had big holes and tears in it. I felt quite sad and regretted not spending more on a nice hotel. The water seemed to come out yellow! It cost almost 30 euros for me and my son to go swimming in the pool which was cold! There was close to no vegan options in the restaurant. The people next door was extremely noisy and partying to the small hours. However the location is really good and there was 2 young ladies in reception that were so lovely and helpful. Therefore I have mixed feelings about this place."

Yagoda & Malina Villas ★★★

"From the UK was visiting my wife’s family in Sofia. Kids have recently been on a ski holiday with school so after much pestering we agreed to take them to Borovets. We booked Malina lodge having read the reviews were a little sceptical. But I adored it. The most beautiful setting. If you want a 5 star hotel don’t come. If you want warm lodge in the woods with no noise and friendly staff please do it. So close to the resort and the girl at reception was really lovely. Hot shower and WiFi was fine. Will definitely come back."

Villa Yagoda ★★

"I can recommend this place."

Villa Adis Borovets Mountain & Luxury ★★★
