Festa Winter Palace Hotel ★★★★★

"Stayed for a week, had 5 rooms half board between our group. Check in was good, rooms were warm and spacious. I have to say it is the best place I’ve stayed in Borovets. The breakfast was worth getting up for and the evening meal always had things to choose from albeit Luke warm so get in there soon as it opens! We dined out a few times as it was so cheap. We all used the facilities, pool was a little cooler than expected but ok if kept moving about. Had a full body massage which was okay, had better elsewhere and totally missed my face which I was told was included. Spa facilities were nice and clean and relaxing to use, hotel provides Bath robes and slippers so don’t forget your bathing suits! Russian sauna was lovely and relaxing and the steam room was great too. I had incident with my family while there and the hotel night reception man was extremely helpful and called the doctor out, he also helped translate documents so I am very happy about the service provided. Masks and gloves to be worn at mealtimes, a lot of covid notifications around and social distancing reminders. Was charged for a film that wouldn’t load but wasn’t arguing over 8lev with the receptionist. On the whole I would return with my family and any kind of group to this hotel. The location was great as well right next to the ski runs and 4 man chair lift. Thank you for a great stay and experience"

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 ★★★

"We had a fantastic time in hotel cota1110! Thank you so much for an incredible stay! A special shoutout to the kitchen team-the food was absolutely fantastic. Combined with the wonderful hospitality and service, this has been an unforgettable trip. We can’t wait to visit you again soon!"

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 ★★★

"They are renting apartments within a hotel, so we first had to call them (couldn’t reach them) until we find out that the people from the hotel next to it have the keys. We were not able to use the pool and the sauna because it is only the apartments and no services."

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."
