A very complex hotel, with all you can ever need: starting with the accomodation(clean rooms), very diversified breakfast and dinner, extra activities for kids(games, dance, playground), spa area, gym, great lounge with food and drinks.
Also a big plus - the hotel is located in front of the skiing part and lots of delicious restaurants.

Lovely location, close to the slopes and shops (few mins walk) but tucked away in the forest for a bit of tranquility. Great that we as an extended family could all have our own apartments but be close to each other on the same floor.

Probably good for beginners (less than 3 trips). Anything more and you’ll be bored after a day. Resprt is dreadful - like Blackpool on ice. No atmosphere, just bars, average restaurants and limited skiing.
Two good things - Rila hotel is lovely, and Victoria restaurant is a gem amongst some very basic food offerings

Borovets is a great place for families looking for a ski vacation. It's not to hard to get to from Sofia airport. Just 77 minutes away from the airport. The town felt safe and quiet even at night ( at least where we stayed). It has a green slope which is ideal for beginners. The blue and green slopes are right next to each other. This enabled me to see my daughter ski on the blue slope while I used the easier green slope which was too easy for her. The lift is safe and efficient. The slopes are wide enough to accommodate all the skiers without feeling too crowded. There are lots of good options for ski lessons and equipment. Personally I recommend Ollie Moly Ski school and rental. One piece of advice: don't change money to BGN in the airport. You get a much better rate by changing in Borovets. There are plenty of change stores in the town. The town is very close to the ski slopes. There are plenty of places to buy food

Beautiful slopes and lots of chairs available high on the mountains. It is however extremely crowded at the bottom gondola. It opens at 8:30 but at that time the queue is already very long and it's going slowly. We spent almost 45-60 mins staying in the queue at the bottom gondola. Also, the closing time is 4:30 PM. We would have expected that during Febr when the day is longer that they will be open much later than that.

Slopes were not well maintained, especially after it snowed overnight. They would become bumpy quickly after start of the day. Lifts timinings are also stange - cabin starts at 8 am, while Yastrebec Express at 8:30, so if one wants to go up - you have to wait very long time at Mid Station. I think it would be a great idea to leave 2 or 3 cabins empty, every now and then, so people waiting at mid statuon can board quicker.

The resort has seen better days.
The resort has seen better days. As a native from Bulgaria we can see the hordes of people hitting the slopes during the winter(when we visit) and if you plan to visit during the weekend - don't, you will ruin your experience. We are talking about 20minute waits on lifts, no space to walk due to lack of parking spaces to handle the traffic load and so. Week days are still calm and you can actually enjoy it. Another tip - if you want to eat, go to the near by town Samokov(5min drive) instead of eating on the slopes. It costs as much as 50% less and the food is better.
Me and my wife tooke the signature room with slopes and mountain view, it was on the 8th floor with excellent view we really like it. The location was perfect directly on the slopes the food was good, the breakfast was excellent with alot of variety we tried the lunch buffet it was ok i dont really recommend. The staff was very friendly specially daniel the door man he helped us with our bags and also he recommend a few places to try and visit nearby. The hotel is excellent choice for a ski trip for sure will be back in the future.
Everything was absolutely amazing- kind, professional and very helpful staff, nice, clean , top class studio with everything we need for 5stars Holiday. The food was delicious, the staff in the Restaurant was just perfect. The location is the best one in Borovets.
I highly recommend Hotel Alpine.
Big Thank you to the Owners, Managers and all other stuff, who made our Holiday unforgettable.

Everything was perfect. From the warm welcome we received upon arrival all the way to when we were leaving. The staff are exceptional and the hotel beautiful. The food is super tasty, plenty of choice for everyone's taste. We had an amazing holiday and we are planning to come back next year! Thank you to everyone at Iglika!
the sweetest host! a little bit of a language barrier that was easily fixed with google translate. the house was a bit far from the main hotel zone in Borovets. for us it was perfect and quiet. It is located a walking distance from the lifts. in the house there is a full kitchen with everything needed. really recommend
I visited the hotel when there was no snow in the area. Despite that it was a great experience, We enjoyed hiking in the surrounding forest and visited the village of Borovets. The rooms were comfortable and cozy with everything anyone needs, even a small kitchenette. All in all a great time spend
This hotel is a way better than 5-start hotel in the same location! It is cleaner, cozy, all is renovated clean and neat, the pool and the spa area are superb and the variety if half board choices at the breakfasts and dinners was very good. Even my child who is a food picker was truly enjoying.
The location couldn’t be better even though it’s 3 km drive from the borovets city but the hotel located in the middle of forest and I could hear only the birds sounds and nothing else which for me it was perfect. The room was big enough and comfortable bed. It has balcony with the forest view.
Great hotel surrounded by old pine trees, in a perfect location in Borovets. Pool was amazing and we very much enjoyed the lounge with the fireplace. Our room was a marvelous, spacious suite with comfy beds and we had our own balcony! Breakfast was very good! We will sure be back for more days!
The food on offer is much better than what is available outside of the hotel in Borovets. It was fine for us over 4 days but would probably get repetitive if you went for a whole week. There are plenty of options close by to the hotel
Amazing massages in the hotel spa at a great rate.
Excellent old villa with own parking, minutes from the slopes. Thanks to the staff who was always helpful and meet all questions and demands with a friendly smile. If you want to stay in the center of Borovets, avoiding overpriced hotels, and feel like a home choose Villa Ibar.
Rila is a well organized hotel to serve the ski lovers of the Borovets Ski center. The location is SUPERB, free parking, free Ski Depot, very good breakfast, food choices, a very big pool, a spa area. The room is absolutely fine and the stuff very friendly.
Nice cosy studio with a modern and clean bathroom. You can park in front of the hotel. Beautiful area close to the main part of Borovets but also much quieter. Big plus is that there is a coffee maker and coffee available in the studio.
Very conveniently located -- only a 5-10 minute walk from Borovets center, so it's away from noisy hotels and bars. The blackout curtains helped us get a good sleep! The room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Breakfast - good , Dinner - good , with some very tasty dishes. I enjoyed it !
The room , good enough . Positive impressions !
The hotel has sauna and table tennis included in the price, so what else should we ask !?
The studio is brand new, well equipped, cozy and very clean. It's a 5 min walk from Borovets centre which is conveniently away from the noise of the crowds. Excellent communication with the host. Highly recommend!
