Having said this, were were both rather surprised especially given the fact the both of us ... Read the complete review

Hi im Ian from England,Been to Borovets twice now and cannot fault the place, beautiful scenery and ski slopes. Last year spent most night in KATINA BAR which this year is called SNOW INN, absolutely love this place and the great staff, they really go out of there way to look after you and make your holiday a great one. the food is the best i have ever had apart from my mothers cooking :), the only place to get an english breakfast that is actually english with black pudding, real british sausage and bacon, you have to try this place if your visiting Borovets. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as me.....Thankyou Borovets and Snow Inn i will be back very soon!!!!!!

If you are looking for a place with good food and delicious drinks you have to try SNACKBAR JOY in Borovets.Snackbar Joy is situated close to the gondola in Borovets.Therefore it's the ideal place as a meeting point; drink a large beer, hot wine or something else on the terrace while you ar waiting. If it is cold, you can sit inside (close to the fireplace).It's a very cosy place with a seperate room for smoking and non-smoking. They serve delicious pizza's, made in a traditional way in a stone oven, for a reasonable price. You can taste all kinds of food varying from the traditional Bulgarian kitchen to an english breakfast.The people are very friendly there.YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!

Having never been on a skiing/snowboarding holiday before (i had several hours tuition in a UK snow centre) i was realy hoping for somewhere quite simple and where the slopes didnt pose too much of a challenge. I snowboarded by the way. I found Borovets, this turned out to be perfect for me as there were plenty of small slopes ... Read the complete review

I have just returned from a week long ski holiday in Borovets. Firstly i would like to say that the prices may be cheap but its definately not worth bothering to go to. The food is terrible! There is a limited choice of pizza and chips. The skiing is okay but by far not the best. The lifts are set out in the worst way possible. The runs ... Read the complete review

Borovets is a good low-cost, small ski resort. I agree with others who comment on it being small and not for advanced skiers but if you are looking for somewhere cheap, this is it! I have been to Borovets twice. The first time, it was my 3rd time skiing! And more recently I returned after over 20 ski holidays. so my ... Read the complete review

My wife and I are good intermediate skiiers. Enjoy red and even black slopes after a fresh snow fall. We came to Borovets in the half term holiday period. The resort is strangely split between two areas and sadly they do not really join up. The lower slopes are accessed by a couple of chair lifts which start off on wide blue slopes ...

Hi, a very useful review, but I would like to inform you some of the information is wrong: 1. Borovets is 70 kilometers away from Sofia and though the condition of the road is not very good and it is not always cleaned from snow during the winter, the trip from Sofia is not more than an hour, in the summer even shorter. The ... Read the complete review

I have recently returned from a week in Borovets and felt I must write this due to some conlicting reviews I have read and would like to clear some things up regardin the area. Firstly the skiing is generally quite good, the snow conditions were good, if a little icy at times, although this is combated by the snow machines that are ... Read the complete review

Let me preface this by saying that although many Europeans visit Borovets(Borovetz) for the ski/boarding, the vast number of British seem to return for its other activities with ski/boarding something to do while your waiting for a bar to open. The resort lies 2hours by bus from the capital city Sofia(location of the ... Read the complete review

I went to Borovets a couple of years back and thought it was really good value for money. Fair enough, it isn't the French Alps, the accommodation isn't four star and its not glamorous, but it was real fun. The people were very poor but also very friendly and helpful.It was a pleasure to speak to them and a privelege to ... Read the complete review

My girlfriend and I went on a skiing holiday to Borovets a few years back....... and it was great! Sure, if we'd had the money Valdisere or Aspen would have been lovely, but the fact is we didn't have the cash! So Borovets it was! The country is quite poor, but the people are lovely! Be warned the Bulgars like ... Read the complete review

We decided to choose Borrovits as our first ski destination, mainly on the travel agents reccomendation. It was a cheep learn to ski week and a big mistake. We choose the best hotel as it was only slightly dearer than the rest. It had a good night club and grand lobby, plain but adaquette rooms. Terrible luke warm food. ... Read the complete review
