This is all very negative is'nt it ! I think we can all agree that many of those who have gone to Bansko have been a mite disappointed but there have also been others who have said they have had a great time so those still to go don't lose heart !! I for one have only ever been to Borovets - we bought there having looked @ Bansko and hubby said that there was too much developement going on too soon.

We also got back from Bansko today. We had a great holiday. Just worked out we only spent £514 over the week, ate out every night and there were 5 of us! Can't beet it for value. We did notice the prices had gone up from 2 years ago and yes, lots of development. There were queues for the gondola in the morning but the Ulen people were doing their best on the busiest week of the season.

We also got back from Bansko today. We had a great holiday. Just worked out we only spent £514 over the week, ate out every night and there were 5 of us! Can't beet it for value. We did notice the prices had gone up from 2 years ago and yes, lots of development. There were queues for the gondola in the morning but the Ulen people were doing their best on the busiest week of the season. Two years ago we went at easter and it was much quieterand it probably will be in two weeks when all the schools are not on half term. The skiing was great and the apartment we rented was clean and comfortable. All in all a fantastic ski holiday for the price.

Just back as well. If you are going out dont get put off by these posts. You will have a good time Last week there were lots of groups with kids and they come off the slopes hungry and tired. As do their parents! Im sure that affects the apres ski atmosphere for others. I spent a week laughing and meeting lovely people! Now Balkan.. I will post about them separately!
Think it was English half-term last week so wherever you went would have been busy!!!! Also we have been to Bulgaria for around 5 years now and although prices have gone up , they certainly haven't gone up by three times.
i had a great time in bansko but there were a lot of down sides the skiing though is fantastic and anyone going will love it. dont think though its a place for a group of young people eg 20 to 30 as very low key night life, pamps night life is far better and if you are a complete learner I would recommend pamps as easier slopes and a lot better atmosphere at night.
Anyone going to Bansko - go with an open mind , ignore the negative posts and you will enjoy yourself. Remember everyone's impression of a holiday destination is completely different.
