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.
A jewel in otherwise modest accommodation in Borovets. The staff we spoke with (Mario and Gabriella) were very helpful but not intrusive. The styling, ambience and presentation of this boutique hotel was exceptional. Yes, it's a little more expensive than the massive anonymous hotels slightly closer to the slopes but only 8 minutes or so to the gondola station as an example.
For once, photos on booking.com were an accurate reflection of the accommodation.
A great experience and highly recommended.
Hotel rooms comfortable but dated, not a problem for us (not in the room much), plenty of storage and somewhere to hang your coat after skiing, other hotels we've been to in borovets didn't have enough storage or anywhere to hang coats to dry out after skiing. Fridge in room worked well, so well in fact it froze our water when we turned it up. Staff very nice and helpful, especially the barman. Breakfast and dinner both good. Group of 12 and everyone found something they liked to eat.
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.

The best location in Borovets. Rooms was spacious and clean, so was the bathroom. View is spectacular. Staff was really good and helpful. Parking was excellent and easy to get in and out. Hotel let us keep the car inside for few hours after check out. Food at the breakfast was really good and with quite a variety of fresh vegetables and fruit (although 95% of guests were skipping these for the fried dough).
The hotel is really, really good! Much better than the other hotels in Borovets. Perfect location near to the slopes, at the same time really quiet. The service was also on a high level, special greetings to Zdravka on the reception desk, she also helped us to extend out stay and to feel comfortable. For sure we will use this hotel going forward. Thank you!
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
The hotel is very good and modern. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The food is delicious. The staff are kind and very helpful. Free parking available in the garage of the hotel. There is a headed pool and spa. The location is great, near the ski area and the center of the place. Highly recommend.
Absolutely perfect location to skii in Borovets. You can see the slopes from the window and easily ski in and out. The breakfast and dinner were great. Wifi was fast. The staff were super helpful and nice. There is a spa in the hotel and I booked a few massages which were great after a day of skiing.
The location is excellent, it feels like being in a cabin in the forest, very nice, quiet, and peaceful. 2-3 minutes drive to Borovets resort. If you want to visit Borovets but don't want to stay in a big soulless hotel, this place is a great alternative.
Wonderful hotel, the staff was very kind and helpful, accomodation was great, we got a room upgrade due to last minute changes. The food was excellent. Pool and SPA very enjoyable. We had a great stay, one of my best experiences in Borovets
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.
The staff was very polite. The food was tasty. Affordable prices at the lobby bar (as opposite to the overprised and overestimated ski resort Borovets). There were enough parking places. It was very warm in the rooms.
We had a wonderful stay at The Lodge Hotel, excellent service (friendly and responsive staff), the best possible location and overall good value if you book in advance, it would be hard to find equal offer at Borovets.
The location was great, really close to one of the slopes. The apartment is part of bigger hotel (Borovets Hills) which is really nice and has facilities such as sauna and pool. Also we did feel safe at all times.
Best yet, 3rd time to Borovets and this is by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in. Location for the gondola couldn’t be better, for restaurants and the legendary BJ’s bar too. Highly recommend.
Apartment is 3 km from center if Borovets in beautifull forest, very quite, very close to ski track. Connected with hotel Borovets Hills with spa and pool (32 C deg).... All in all fantastic
Excellent location right next to the main lift & village center.
Hotel is equipped with a gym, spa facilities and a bar in the lobby.
Front porch overlooks the slopes.
