Casa Karina Bansko - Wellness & Ski hotel

"Great hotel in a good location - five minute walk to lifts and close to bars and restaurants in the evening. Rooms were basic / no frills but comfortable. Food was amazing and the chef doing eggs at breakfast was a winner for me. Liked that breakfast started at 7, so you still had time to change into ski gear and get on an early lift. Staff friendly. What stands out of this hotel, is the spa facilities - pool area is warm and inviting, perfect place to relax. Spa services were fabulous and reasonably priced. Bar and public areas nice, too. Ski storage and ski hire on site. Reception extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely return."

Pirin Sense Apartment Complex

"For a family of four, the hot water supply was insufficient, and it took quite a while to heat up. Hopefully, it could be expedited. The terrace was large and comfortable, with a beautiful view; definitely worth visiting again."

Guest House Anex

"Excellent position close to slopes, very friendly and great value"

Guest House Ilinden

Belvedere Holiday Club

"Had a lovely stay once again in Belvedere. The apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable. It was serviced daily. Perhaps the housekeeper was a bit over zealous about towels etc! The Reception staff this time were much friendlier and accommodating than previously. The outside pool area is as nice as anywhere I’ve been, with very clean, clear water, a picturesque panorama and pleasant ambience. You can swim up to the pool bar which is fun. The outdoor staff were friendly and efficient. Afternoon snacks from the restaurant were good quality and cheap. Overall I’d recommend Belvedere. It is well located in the town of Bansko within walking distance of the town centre and very close to supermarkets and the gondola. It has magnificent views of the Pirin Mountains.A trip up in the cable car is an enjoyable visit, even in summer. Weather ranged from cool to very pleasantly warm."

Kralev Dvor Hotel

"Hotel was clean and tidy, beds helped after a long day skiing. The family hosts are very welcoming and funny, Marin will take you to the top gondola (when police allow for a reasonable fee) worth it instead of queuing for a few hours at the bottom!"

Family Complex Mountain Romance Apartments

"The location is amazing just 15 min walk to the gondola station. The service is amazing, it’s family run business, the owner took personal care of us ensured any little issues were addressed immediately. In the morning we were fed well with Bulgarian breakfast and it had personal touch to it and we were made to feel special. Amenities were adequate considering the price we paid for it. The only downside I would say is the shower had some moulds but that’s an easy fix and mattress was a bit soft needs replacement."

Edelweiss Inn Aparthotel

Gardenia Park Hotel

"I see lots of reviews here that are quite positive, but either the standards in Bulgaria for 4* hotels are much lower than in the rest of Western Europe, USA, Australia or this isn't a 4* hotel. As advertised, it has some of the amenities of a 4* hotel, including a pool, jacuzzi (not working), hair dryers and bar fridge in the rooms (mine didn't work) but the standard just isn't there - a lot of things are dirty, broken, the linens are cheap, there is mouldy silicone in the shower, there were dirty lampshades that didn't fit the lamps. I was just here for a few nights, so no big loss - originally I had booked a 5* up near the gondola but that was too far from restaurants so I had settled on this because it is in the middle of town and I didn't have time to do a lot of research. Good thing this place is centrally located because restaurant at the hotel is pretty boring and not great quality - food is greasy, few vegetables, no spicing (but this is true of a lot of Bulgarian food anyway). I ate there for breakfast and one dinner, rest of the time went out as first impressions didn't make me keen to stay in. I think it gets a heavy use by school groups, package tourists from UK. You can get an apartment or boutique hotel for a similar price."

Rahoff Hotel

"The off-season cost of this place was a bargain. We arrived early and it was open but there was nobody about, however once that was solved the couple in charge were extremely welcoming and helpful. Our room looked out to the mountains, it was clean and had colourful rugs and all the basic equipment. The bed was all right but a little concave, although I slept very well. Breakfast was what we wanted, so overall this was a good stay. It is about 15 minutes pleasant walk to the centre of town where there are plenty of restaurants. When I asked about a taxi to take us to the station the next morning we were offered a ride by the proprietor. That is good service. "
