Dogs on the slopes.Felt poor and rich at the same time. Not a beautiful place.But cheap ski trip. Go to get on the slopes not for the social side. Food not good. But if a deal came up I would slot in another week. Go to bed early and ski early.

I had a great winter holiday doing skiing in Bansko ski resort. I didnt even miss a day. In my 5 days holiday, I went 3 days regularly. The resort was really wonderful and got lots of slopes; high and low. I went to the top of Peak Bansko Mountain 2600m, where I descend to the bottom of Kolarski. That one was one of the breathtaking experience of my life. Had a best experience and made some really beautiful memories of Bansko. I never thought I would love winter this much. The environment, the crowd, food, music everything was great and reasonable. Looking forward for another winter sports skiing holiday next year in some other countries.Thanks Dee

Love Bansko. As ski holidays go, the price is reasonable. There is a nice vibe there with lots of going out people. Not the best for powder but still plenty of nice ski slopes and fun little off piste sections. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Gondola queues from the town to the slopes can be extreme. Try to avoid school holidays. Relatively limited skiing, but offset by excellent price point for those on a tight budget.

Pretty small resort so good if youre only going for a few days. Great for beginners as the red and black runs arent difficult.

Friendly and excellent value for money. Ski school was a good balance of instructing and skiing at a challenging level. Beer was cheap and there is a good range of reasonably priced restaurants to eat out in.

The people of the area overall is very friendly to visitors, and there are good accommodation and restaurant options for all budgets. The ski resort is great with different pistes for every level and the ski school offers amazing lessons and guidance.

Just spent a week there with a friend, Im very happy with the overall value for money. Slope conditions were a little icy due to a lack of recent snow however this didnt detract from the overall enjoyment of the trip. Very impressed with the food on offer almost too much to chose from and all very tasty. Good mix of self catered and hotel accommodation. However with the price of groceries compared to eating out youll probably better of with the latter. Ill most definitely be returning when the conditions are more favourable.

Perfectly for beginners, nice eating out and drinking places. We had 8 hours lessons which helped us go to blue in 3 days

1st time in bansko last week, great small resort ideal for not school holidays. As long as you get up early for first gondola lifts we're not a problem. Resort a lot cheaper than alps
