Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Nice little report, Blade!

I am sure it must have been asked or assumed, but I cannot see anywhere if you have mentioned the total cost is for one person or two. I presume also that £400 for F&D was a bit of a guess or did you pay that for 'all-inclusive'. In addition, most people I know book the whole package, so ski hire would need to be included for comparison.

Sorry to put you out, but could you give an overall price for two people inc. flights, with all ski hire, lift passes and instruction and state if the accommodation was HB or S/C to enable a true comparison?

Thanks in advance.

Just come back from my 2nd visit to Borovets. Never again. The place has changed a lot since last March. I felt we were being ripped off everywhere we went. Even the kids when they went to lunch with their ski groups, were being overcharged, just by a lev or 2 but it all mounts up. Ski instructor did a home video of the group and charged 40 lev for it. Watched it at home and it was absolute rubbish. Rila Hotel was ok again. Food good, rooms warm & clean, but Reception staff unhelpful and unfriendly. Had a fire in the hotel while we were there, no fire alarm, hotel was evacuated by staff knocking on room doors (all 600+ of them). Hotel management said next day that it was just a test. The smoke and flames billowing out of the 9th floor looked very really to everyone who witnessed it!!!!! So sorry all you Bulgarian fanatics, I'm off to the States next year!!
