Borovets Reviews & Ratings

My first time skiing and i loved every second! The lesson was very useful and the structors were very knowledgeable! I can’t wait to get more lessons booked and get on the intermediate slopes!! Heres to my next ski holiday

Such a good resort for beginners. Conditions beautiful and quiet towards the end of the season. Perfect price and for a begginer on a low budget

Nice cheap resort, plenty to do. Good apres ski. Cheap drinks. Lots of good hotels, close to the Would go again Recommended.

Ski area was very small and by lunchtime most of them would be mashed up.

30 minute gondola to get up to the mountain was slow and busy.

Food around the resort was very poor.

Reccommend The Lion hotel. Food and drink very good. Samakov ski school was 5*. Instructors very knowledgeable.

Great little resort, small but plenty of off piste/lift runs to keep things interesting. Apres is different to the Alps, but has it's own charm. Variety of restaurants is great and Bulgarian cuisine is incredible.

Great trip with great value for money had an awesome time my second year in a row going. Always great fun anf great food.

Great resort for families. Lots of choice for different ski levels. Can get a bit crowded at times.
Great instructors for kids yo learn

It is a very friendly place to stay and ski the food is lovely the price for food and drink is very fair, the night life is fun and kid friendly so please go there for a Cheeky ski trip

Welcoming and small resort.Plenty of bars and places to eat.Fairly cheap.Ideal for beginners and hardly any lift wait time

Good resort hills up to 2000m, attractive price, food was good, not expensive like in Western Europe

Not skied for a few years so we wanted somewhere with enough space and challenges without being too difficult. Most of the runs were open, and all runs were well maintained even though they had not been recent snow. Got a bit slushy on lower slopes in the afternoon. Lifts were excellent and staff friendly. Fantastic instructor and really worked on everyone's' 'little issues'. Some afternoons only a couple of us wanted to keep skiing so group lesson turned into a private lesson, Really long queues for the gondla in the morning and especially at a weekend but instructor made sure we got the minibus to the chair lift which meant we had more time skiing. Hotel was right on the edge of the slope, great ski in ski out except due to lack of snow in the village we had to walk to the ski school meeting point but it wasn't far. We managed to get a couple of runs in before meeting up. Hotel accommodation was excellent and pool/spa was used daily. Our hotel was more for adults, relaxed quiet evenings, and no kids entertainment but that sorted us. Village has lots to see and do at night including night skiing. Bars were buzzing.

Great trip. Good value.
There is a good choice of ski areas and the ski schools we used were superb. Plenty of choice for food.

We have been to Borovets many times but the last few years have seen the resort and slopes deteriorate greatly. With the reduced amount of snowfall each year (not the resorts fault) they do seem to reduce the amount of piste maintenance to cater for local holiday seasons/Bank holidays. Now that Bulgaria has changed to the Euro, it is no longer a cheap and cheerful resort.

Did a ski season in borovets and it was an amazing place
Lots of activity to do outside skiing.
Night skiing is great and apre bars is excellent.
Small ski area not the best for advance skiers

Great place, beautiful nature and mountains, lovely people. A lot of fun. Definitely will visit again❤️

Good selection of runs to suit all. Majority of runs open & use of snow cannons during visit kept them well maintained.
Thursday night ski was good extra but very popular.glad we arrived early and prepaid for tickets via borovets ski app.
Lift passes prices very reasonable.
Good selection of restaurants and bars. Not expensive good value for money.

I visited Borovets Bulgaria with my family of 8, we were a mix of advanced to beginner group. The ski school was very good by the end of the week all beginners could ski. Best value for money for first time skiers in ski school. Not much of night life scene the bars were quiet enough. Restaurants mediocre. Hotel Rila was very good, food, spa facilities etc. for advanced skiers the slopes were good depending on how much snow however became boring as not many options for runs. Also no apres ski at all.

The stone refugio at the top of the gondola is the best meal I’ve ever had skiing! There’s a great green run at the top as well. Was disappointed to find that the long resort green run at the top of the four-chair lift wasn’t groomed.

Excellent resort for families and keen skiers/snowboarders. Lots of ski school choices, night ski 3x nights a week. However limited on green and blue runs. Mainly reds and some blacks. Queue time was good and ski pass covered ALL lifts in the resort.
