Borovets

Here you can sample tasty European and Bulgarian national cuisine specialties until midnight. In summer, you can spend time relaxing in the garden, cooled by the fresh air from the waterfall and cascades. There is also an outdoor barbecue where the chef will prepare specialties, grilled on live coals, right in front of you.

A traditional mountain hut that offers good local cuisine. Indoor and outdoor seating. Accommodation is also available.

A large hotel refurbished in 2016 on the lower slopes; rooms are comfortable and clean. The hotel has a swimming pool and a large lobby bar. The food provided in the restaurant (in the season anyway) is not to be recommended, although this isn't a huge problem as there are a number of reasonably priced places to eat in the town. Lower rooms on the ski slope side can be noisy because of the late night bars.

The original hotel of Borovets, but interior is modern and comfortable with a mini bar, restaurant, games room and lounge. Prices at the bar are significantly lower than that of the main Rila hotel, and rooms are usually offered at half-board allowing for a buffet system breakfast and dinner. The area around the Bor is scenic and quiet, however the Bor hotel is outside of the main Borovets area, so allow 15 minutes walking time (between leaving the hotel and arrival at the slopes) or put aside 10 lev for a horse-drawn carriage ride which can be found outside the lobby's main entrance.

Small, modern family run complex with a hotel and 5 chalets on the outskirts of Govadertsi village. It has its own ski run nearby and is about a 30-minute transfer to Borovets. The rooms are all nicely decorated in a modern style, each has an ensuite and the majority have balcony views of the Rila Mountains. There is a large dining room and lounge with real log fire and bar. It's a really relaxed environment. The hotel is half board, with breakfast and a three course evening meal each night, prepared by a British cook. The family that own the place also organise all your transport and ski hire, and are really knowledgeable of the local area so able to help organise other activities. It's ideal for big groups and families, and the quiet rural setting can be a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Borovets at night. There is room for up to 30 people and they offer group discounts.

Villa Stresov was rebuilt in 1996 as Borovets' only five-star villa by the Marianne Djidrova Nielsen, a granddaughter of the Stresovs, now living in Chicago, Illinois with her husband Philipn. While only 600 meters from the center of Borovets and ski lifts, the villa is secluded among towering pines at the foot of Mt. Musala. Each of the Villa's four upstairs bedrooms can be rented individually, or the entire Villa is available for up to ten adults. There is a landscaped garden in the back, with a building for a six person hot tub, and another large BBQ house. A gazebo sits in the back corner overlooking the gardens.
