Probably good for beginners (less than 3 trips). Anything more and you’ll be bored after a day. Resprt is dreadful - like Blackpool on ice. No atmosphere, just bars, average restaurants and limited skiing.
Two good things - Rila hotel is lovely, and Victoria restaurant is a gem amongst some very basic food offerings

Borovets is a great place for families looking for a ski vacation. It's not to hard to get to from Sofia airport. Just 77 minutes away from the airport. The town felt safe and quiet even at night ( at least where we stayed). It has a green slope which is ideal for beginners. The blue and green slopes are right next to each other. This enabled me to see my daughter ski on the blue slope while I used the easier green slope which was too easy for her. The lift is safe and efficient. The slopes are wide enough to accommodate all the skiers without feeling too crowded. There are lots of good options for ski lessons and equipment. Personally I recommend Ollie Moly Ski school and rental. One piece of advice: don't change money to BGN in the airport. You get a much better rate by changing in Borovets. There are plenty of change stores in the town. The town is very close to the ski slopes. There are plenty of places to buy food

Beautiful slopes and lots of chairs available high on the mountains. It is however extremely crowded at the bottom gondola. It opens at 8:30 but at that time the queue is already very long and it's going slowly. We spent almost 45-60 mins staying in the queue at the bottom gondola. Also, the closing time is 4:30 PM. We would have expected that during Febr when the day is longer that they will be open much later than that.

Slopes were not well maintained, especially after it snowed overnight. They would become bumpy quickly after start of the day. Lifts timinings are also stange - cabin starts at 8 am, while Yastrebec Express at 8:30, so if one wants to go up - you have to wait very long time at Mid Station. I think it would be a great idea to leave 2 or 3 cabins empty, every now and then, so people waiting at mid statuon can board quicker.

The resort has seen better days.
The resort has seen better days. As a native from Bulgaria we can see the hordes of people hitting the slopes during the winter(when we visit) and if you plan to visit during the weekend - don't, you will ruin your experience. We are talking about 20minute waits on lifts, no space to walk due to lack of parking spaces to handle the traffic load and so. Week days are still calm and you can actually enjoy it. Another tip - if you want to eat, go to the near by town Samokov(5min drive) instead of eating on the slopes. It costs as much as 50% less and the food is better.
The hotel is very nice, even if it is not very modern. The rooms are very clean and cozy.
The location is very good with nice sourroudings. They provide a free shuttle to get to the ski slopes, a room for keeping the skiing equipment and free parking.
The food is great, you have many options to choose from. They offer sauna (for free) and also the possibility of playing different games with extra charge.
The staff is very nice and speaks English. I would really recommend this hotel and it will be my option for the next visit in Borovets.
The staff were caring and made sure check-in was arranged even after midnight. The studio was well equipped with cutlery and a microwave, warm, and had a terrace with a nice view. The location was ideal for me as it was a 6-minute walk to Smokov Hotel where I attended an event. The lift is another 5 minutes away. Parking right in front of Park Villa was possible, but I assume it gets very busy in peak season. Overall, the place exceeded my expectations and is a great value for money!
Ski rental center inside the facility (ski+poles+boots 20 leva per day / ski+poles 15 leva per day)
Bus shuttle to/from slope/hotel every 20 min (free)
Breakfast variety was good. Dinner (30 leva/person per day if not booked as halfboard beforehand) was also nice, although not so much meat to choose from.
Room was warm during the night (while outside temperature was below zero Celsius)
Room was cleaned regularly
Landmark hotel in top location. I love Borovets, Rila mountain and surrounding hills and plain. Samokov has also changed since my last visit to Borovets 4 or 5 years ago. It is atractive to visit or stop for rest. Sapareva Banja should not be missed. Even a half day soaking in the thermal springs does mirracles. The 7 Rila Lakes take my breath away everytime although I have hiked there a few times.
Good location, close to the slopes. 15 mins walking from SanSki rental (next to Iglika slope), where we used ski rental and wardrobe.
- Situated in the forest with nice winter view.
-Spacious room (double room).
-There is a mini bathtub, which is a nice extra to relax after skiing (in case it's well cleaned).
The food was very good and the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Lots of parking space and the view from the restaurant was nice. The hotel is located a bit away from Borovets center(not far, just enough) that it was quiet and peacefull.
The room was huge and the furnishing reflects the outside design of the hotel - it feels like a manor house. Food and service were great, the ski lifts are close, parking is available in the yard. A great place to stay in Borovets!
The location was great, really close to one of the slopes. The apartment is part of bigger hotel (Borovets Hills) which is really nice and has facilities such as sauna and pool. Also we did feel safe at all times.
Right from the start, the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They offered to help with our luggage and gave advice on what to do in Borovets! I felt just like at home, as the room was very cozy and clean!
I liked the central location in Borovets, the beautiful alpine exterior and interior design, the tasty food and the book library, arranged in the lobby restaurant, offered to the guests during their stay.
Evetything was amazing! The hotel is newly renovated, smart and modern arranged! The staff is very friendly, calm and efficient. The food is very tasty! Good coffee at breakfast.
The key collection was very easy. The shared facilities in the hotel were better than expected. It was in easy walking distance of the town. Ski rental built into the hotel.
Excellent apartment in the heart of borovets. 50-100m from the lift. Clean and well equipped. Also has a parking under the hotel which is very helpfull.
