Cheap and Cheerful Borovets, locals are friendly and the ski schools are decent. Limited hotel accommodation and Apres Ski is based in the town but beer is cheap and everyone is up for a good time. Worth a visit on a budget.

We spent a week over Christmas in Borovets Bulgaria. We had soo much snow it was all most too much due to it causing power cuts. The children found this all very exciting but probably not the same feeling for the hotel staff. The generators kicked in after a few minutes. We stayed at the Lion Hotel which is a lovely easy 10 minute stroll to the main area. In the morning we would get the hotel mini bus in and collect our equipment under the Samokov Hotel. After ski school we would walk back. The hotels Spa area was lovely, 1 outside sauna, 2 indoor herbal saunas, 1 salt sauna, 2 steam rooms, a relaxation area, massage/treatment rooms, swimming pool and out door hot tube. The food was plentifully and of a good standard. Rooms were cleaned daily and the tv had English speaking movies on it. The staff we generally warm and welcoming. Father Christmas and his helper came and delivered presents to the children which was such a lovely touch. We were a mix of skiers and Snowboarders. For us Snowboarders the free riding FONFON area was so much fun so if you like moguls then this is not to be missed. The Cool Runnings restaurant/bar is a great place to pop in for a drink and enjoy the daily entertainment. Borovets is a great affordable ski resort to choose.

I recently went to Borovets with my friends. This was the first time I had skied a resort outside of France. We went in school holidays so the pistes were very quiet which was amazing, and we got lucky with snow too. I was there for 4 days, all days were sunny but by the end of the trip the snow was beginning to get very thin and slushy in some places. The snow making facilities at the resort are excellent though on some runs near the Hotel Rila. The apres ski and night life was very good too. There are lots of pubs and bars in town which are super cheap, however there is not the 'magical' feel like resorts in the Alps have. It feels quite purpose built, however it definitely does the job for a cheap ski break. I would definitely recommend Borovets to anyone looking for a cheap ski holiday. There are not loads of slopes - I did everything in about 2.5 days, but for beginners it is great. I have also been told the queues are insane in peak season, so make sure to go outside of these times.

Borovets is a great resort that doesn't get too busy. Queues to get on the lifts are not too long and give you plenty of options for different levels of runs. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from, with a good range of food choices. The people are friendly.

Great experience been 2 years in a row, most likely will return for a 3rd year in 2026! We used a great ski instructor called sami who also owns a nightclub called nightlife borovets and it was a good time! Cheap drinks (happy hour all day pretty much) Lovely environment with nice slopes. Good holiday when on a budget especially.
