A very complex hotel, with all you can ever need: starting with the accomodation(clean rooms), very diversified breakfast and dinner, extra activities for kids(games, dance, playground), spa area, gym, great lounge with food and drinks.
Also a big plus - the hotel is located in front of the skiing part and lots of delicious restaurants.

Lovely location, close to the slopes and shops (few mins walk) but tucked away in the forest for a bit of tranquility. Great that we as an extended family could all have our own apartments but be close to each other on the same floor.

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.
I chose this hotel on a last minute trip to Borovets. All in all, i am extremely happy for choosing this hotel. One thing I particularly appreciated about the Euphoria Club Hotel was that I did not experience any problems with the sofa in my room, which can sometimes be an issue in hotels. The sofa was comfortable and in good condition, which made it a great place to relax after a long day of skiing.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Euphoria Club Hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay in Borovets
We very much enjoyed everything about this hotel. From the diversified breakfast to the spa which had an amazing pool with jacuzzi and glass roof.
Staff was kind and helpful.
In each day the room was cleaned, towels were changed if needed and we did not had any worries about the warmthness.
Hotel is situated in a quiet zone of Borovets, don’t expect to have a 2 minute walk to the center. But this is not an inconveniece because you will have a free shuttle to bring you to and in from center.
The hotel is located at a tranquil place surrounded by a forest. The staff was polite and friendly, the room was spacious and the bed was big enough. Breakfast and dinner were limited in options, but everything was fresh and delicious, so the whole family was happy with the meals. SPA was very nice especially the herbal sauna and the salt room. There is a kids center with a nice lady taking care of the kids and our kids loved to play there after dinner. All in all it was a nice stay.
Excellent location next to gondola lift, breakfast is quite good, enough for our preferences. The Hotel upgraded our room for free which was very appreciated. Room was very spacious and offered all amenities someone can expact from a hotel. Hotel spa was very good, pool and jacuzzi temperature was warm. Hotel staff was very kind and helpful. We rented equipment from the hotel which was very easy and convenient. Ski equipment quality was very good and prices were fair.
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.

Staff were very friendly. Very good choice of food from the breakfast and dinner buffet, different choice of food every morning and evening. Room was very warm. Nice communal area downstairs with a fire to play bored games and have a drink. Feels like a nice family run hotel, feels homely. Fresh towels every day.
About a 10min walk from borovets centre where the bars/restaurants and ski slopes are located.
Landmark hotel in top location. I love Borovets, Rila mountain and surrounding hills and plain. Samokov has also changed since my last visit to Borovets 4 or 5 years ago. It is atractive to visit or stop for rest. Sapareva Banja should not be missed. Even a half day soaking in the thermal springs does mirracles. The 7 Rila Lakes take my breath away everytime although I have hiked there a few times.
Moura hotel breakfast is wow 😲. The rooms are clean, the sauna is great. The location is in the middle of Borovets, so it's very close to the gondola and about 5min walk to the other ski lifts. There is a pool table and board games that is really nice to spend time after the ski if you are tired and don't want to go to a bar. The value for money is great compared to other alternatives in Borovets.
The hosts Alexander and Fannie are so kind and welcoming, they met us in the airport on time and drove us to the guest house. The room was clean and cozy, and had the essential tools for making sandwiches for the hikes. Nice and warm shower. Amazing balcony to have breakfast and dry your clothes.
The best value for money place to stay for summer activities in borovets
I visited the hotel when there was no snow in the area. Despite that it was a great experience, We enjoyed hiking in the surrounding forest and visited the village of Borovets. The rooms were comfortable and cozy with everything anyone needs, even a small kitchenette. All in all a great time spend
This hotel is a way better than 5-start hotel in the same location! It is cleaner, cozy, all is renovated clean and neat, the pool and the spa area are superb and the variety if half board choices at the breakfasts and dinners was very good. Even my child who is a food picker was truly enjoying.
Amazing location just in front of the sky slopes . Room very big and super silent .
the fornitures and interiors are modern and all is well cleaned and in order. Staff was friendly and they were talking english (not so common for Bulgarian hotels..).
Everything was fine, it was warm and the breakfast was really good. The spa is also very good and the personal is kind especially the manager.The hotel is a little bit far from Martinovi Baraki, but overall, it is good value for money
Our family go-to hotel in Borovets. The Finnish chalets are very comfortable, staff are excellent - particularly in the restaurant, and all the facilities are perfect.
Will be booking again before the ski season ends.
Breakfast was awesome. Just awesome. Much better than many (and more expensive) hotels that I've stayed at in Borovets actually. Beds were nice and comfy. Room was clean and warm. Staff was quite friendly and helpful.
