6/10 Okay

Friendly and helpful staff, but wifi often ultra-slow or non-existent - an on-going problem reception told me. And this $200/night hotel warns guests they'll only get one sachet of instant coffee in their room for the whole stay!

8/10 Good

Hotel is great in excellent location, all the staff are helpful. The only gripe is no aircon, the hotel is very warm. With the noise from the rest of the resort leaving the window open isn’t an option.

Brilliant hotel for families and close to everythi

Room was cleaned every day and fresh towels. Food was brilliant for buffet breakfast and dinner. Lunch in lobby bar was great. Reasonable prices. Some items cheaper here than in other bars. Pool was great, very busy at peak times. Had a view of the resort. Comfortable beds, plenty of space. Small fridge. Hooks and shelf above radiator to dry ski gear. Loved it here!

Wonderful hotel to relax in the mountains! Perfect SPA and swimming pool.
Teodora, 1-night trip

Good hotel. Very close to ski station. We loved it
Walter Yugo, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Please make the buffet breakfast earlier, or provide room service. 7:30 breakfast opens, slopes open at 8:30. It’s a complete and utter rush for breakfast and ski locker. Make breakfast 7am or earlier
Stefan, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

After the renovation this hotel became excellent. Modern, clean rooms, outstanding breakfast buffet, polite staff and free-self parking. Also great slope-view rooms - very peaceful and relaxing.

10/10 Excellent

Superb hotel, location is excellent with very modern facilities. Friendly staff, with a great breakfast selection. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Borovets if we were to return. This is isn’t about the hotel but Borovets resort needs to start investing in new lifts etc - the lift pass cost has increased and the facilities should too. That’s why we wouldn’t return to the resort!
Simon, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay in Hotel Rila Borovets. The room, and the bathroom especially, were on the small side. That said, it’s right by the slopes and you can pretty much ski right into the hotel. We took the half board option, which was very convenient. There’s a wide variety of options, though hard to get the waiters to serve you drinks. The hotel has the reputation as the best one in Borovets. We enjoyed our stay, and would likely stay there again if we return to the resort
David, 5-night trip

Great hotel, ski slope literally on doorstep. Ski rental/storage guys brilliant, excellent breakfast buffet, delicious Xmas and New Years eve dinner & entertainment, spa facilities very good, beautiful terrace, kids club wonderful. Perfect room. Extremely professional Ski school for our 7 year old son, Fantastic skiing, only one point to mention…WiFi unstable and frustrating at times

Christmas Holiday with family

This hotel is the right place for families with kids. Borovets is a small town for skiing in winter. The Hotel offers so many activities after 15:00 for kids. They never felt bored. We are so thankful for the amusement team who always madr effort to amuse the children with different activities besides the pool and free access to jacuzzi. Although the pool was quit cool. We'd difinitly come back to this cosy and warm hotel.
