Service, Room and breakfast was amazing. I really enjoyed stay there.
Yong An, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Superb hotel, location is excellent with very modern facilities. Friendly staff, with a great breakfast selection. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Borovets if we were to return. This is isn’t about the hotel but Borovets resort needs to start investing in new lifts etc - the lift pass cost has increased and the facilities should too. That’s why we wouldn’t return to the resort!

This Hotel is really nice now the renovations have been done, whilst it was a quiet time(pre season) the staff were great, the spa was very clean and a good selection of sauna, Turkish Bath, steam room chill room relaxation area, pool was warmer than we remember and whirlpool clean. The bar had a great selection of food, the terrace bar is great, and breakfast is vastly improved on years gone by. All in all great stay and lovely hotel

You can rent skiing gear at the hotel and also buy a ski pass. Any equipment you bring they will keep safe. We had a superior room (two adults, two children) and the room size was just perfect. They give you a welcome tea and coffe, also ketle is available in the room which is very convenient. Ski lift is in front of the hotel, and there is pleanty of tracks available from there. Ski school is also next to the ski lift. Overall everything was perfect and we will come again next year!

Christmas Holiday with family
This hotel is the right place for families with kids. Borovets is a small town for skiing in winter. The Hotel offers so many activities after 15:00 for kids. They never felt bored. We are so thankful for the amusement team who always madr effort to amuse the children with different activities besides the pool and free access to jacuzzi. Although the pool was quit cool. We'd difinitly come back to this cosy and warm hotel.

8/10 Very good

I have been in Rila hotel few times over the years but mostly in the summer. I love the location because it is right in the middle of everything. I like how the hotel has been renovated and is constantly improving. The breakfast is great and has variety of choices. However the recent prices I think was a bit too much for the quality provided. The beds need to be improved as not comfortable. Also another thing I really was disappointed from was the thick ice in front of the property and on the whole parking lot. For such a major and expensive hotel, this shouldnt be an issue, the parking should be cleaned and the front of the hotel also. It is not something impossible. Other than that it is a nice place.

The rooms were badly heated in the evening and my kids got sick. i spoke to the property manager and thy said this is Hotel policy to reduce the heat in the evening! This is just ridiculous.
