Borovets Reviews & Ratings

Borovets, Bulgaria is a great budget, beginner/intermediate resort. The locals are friendly and love a good chat, the nightlife can get wild and the drinks are cheap! The ski schools are fairly well put together with a few nice instructors. There was a healthy mix of skiers and boarders and although some of the slopes were shut due to a lack of snow. There was still plenty to do and we had a great time perfecting the routes me and my lot were working on.

Very good beginner report and for families however in recent years it is very crowded in the holidays

A great time was had - little busier than we would have liked. It being a cheaper-than-usual resort really meant that there felt like more people than im used to queuing up for the lifts. Really enjoyed it overall - great for intermediate riders

Great resort for beginner intermediate snowboarding and skiing
ski to hotel doors
good price on Excursions inc snow mobile trips and Sleigh rides

Its a great resort for first time skiers has a lot of easy runs and is a good way to get a feel for the mountain I stayed in rila which is a ski in ski out hotel which was a great hotel clean and the staff were helpful I wouldnt advise advanced skiers to come here its more a beginners place and not much off piste but the main slopes are groomed and chair lift is very quick and it also offers night skiing when the piste and in good condition

if your looking for quality skiing for a very low price, you wont find it. However this comes very close. When the slopes arent loaded up with people its an amazing ride especially after snowfall, the best lift to go to is the yasterbets gondola as this is the highest point in the resort and the quietest, some say its because its awful but in reality its the best area for riding however a 5-6 minute walk from the main lifts, so many lazy people decided to avoid this part, all the better for us i guess. If you want value for money Rila is not it overpriced for Bulgaria, at that point just go to Austria. The best value for money is Iglika Palace nice staff most of the time, great sauna etc., and cheap drinks. Cheap drinks are in abundance at borovets, youll find it hard to get a pint for more than 5. Great bar is next to sangria was called bobbys bar but now changed because if youre looking for quality skiing for a very low price, you wont find it. However this comes very close.

Be cautious of the snow blowers however as they can sometimes cause whiteouts which is quite annoying.
If you want cheap and good you wont find it but Bulgaria is the closest youll get
