Poster: A snowHead
|
Am in Borovets, and despite all i heard before coming we are having a great time. Snow is decent, some fell in the two days before we arrived. No more expected, but enough for anouther couple of weeks. Lots of sun though Food ok, everything cheap, and all people very friendly if you make the effort and smile. Havent seen hardly any beggars, prostitutes, etc. Good low end resort, and would come again if there was more skiing. (More being opened up in next 2 seasons) If you want a cheap and cheerful trip, do it!

Try Black Tiger for commercially inclined ladies!
My 9 year old got on well with them, back in 2000.
Glad you are enjoying it!

Mate I know that town well and its full of them, Stayed at the Rila hotel and after 9 o'clock they don't leave you alone, we went in a bar one night and this guy sat in the corner screaming at the people behind then bar, he wouldnt let them have anything to eat, then tried to hit the bar maid and smashed up all her CD's - he was a mafia guy like the rest of the bar owners in that shady resort!
And the food not bad?!?!?!??!?!? suppose its not bad if your used to eating out of bins the food is horrendous
and the skiing ! yeah right they are opening up more in two years time! they have been saying that each year for years!!!
MY ADVICE IS LEAVE IT WELL WELL ALONE!!! Andorra is a far better budget option!

It's not that bad....I think good intermediates will get bored there...but it's great for newbies and it's the cheapest place in Europe. I stayed at the Sammo ( Samokov) which is one the "posh" hotels there but lacks atmosphere. I would recommend the Rila instead.

The Rila is a dump
The skiing is rubbish
The people are greedy and dishonest
Has anyone ever been there and not had anything stolen?
They steal from the rooms, off the dining room tables, from accident victims and from the ski equipment stores.
For cheapness and fun Andorra any time.

Too strange, the amount of strong opinon. We had a good time, and no problems at all. Nothing stolen, not ripped off, not hassled by beggars (or prostitutes ). Only reason i wouldn't go back is the limited skiing.

Well said, Robbie, . Please understand the Bulgarians have had a pretty rough deal from history. OK the place is limited as Robbie, said, but if you allow for the different culture, it isn't that bad. It's cheap and you get what you pay for.

You know it makes sense.

And well said Chris !
