i am going to borovets in a week with my family. i have heard since booking that it is a scary place. run by mafia and not safe to walk about in evenings. i am now worried about going. we have never been skiing before and was really looking forward to our holiday .

There are some dodgy looking people around but they dont bother anyone and just go about there business. You and your family will be fine just go out there with an open mind and you'll have a fantastic time.
