This package holiday to Hotel Samokov in Borovets, Bulgaria departs Saturday 8th March 2025, for a 7 night stay on a "bed & breakfast" board basis. A local tourist tax (Taxe de Sejour or Kurtaxe) is levied by many councils in European ski resorts. It varies by standard and type of accommodation and is age dependent, so not everyone is charged. It's not included in the basic price of your holiday and is usually paid locally. For reference, the average charged in winter 2024 was between €1 and €3 per person, per night.

Do you dream of skiing down the same mountains where Bulgarian Kings of old once hunted? Oh, right. Just us then. Well, how about a ski holiday at a snip of the price you'd pay in France or Switzerland, with exhilarating views, booming après ski and large doses of sunshine? That's more like it. Here in Borovets, you'll experience a resort steeped in tradition and culture, and of course the fantastic skiing opportunities you'd expect to find at Bulgaria's 1st ski region. You'll be welcomed with open arms ...
Young skiers will love Borokids Park, where the magic carpet helps them get to grips with the snow. Ski lessons can be booked with one of the local ski schools like Hunters and Yanakiev and the Sitnyakovo Royal Residence Ski Way’s wide, gentle slope for some cruisey confidence building. Each of the 3 ski areas offers intermediates something a little different. The Yastrebetz is home to long winding slopes, including the lengthy Yastrebetz 1, which snakes its way through pine trees back to the resort. Ventu...
Despite Bansko’s up and coming popularity, Borovets remains the party capital of Bulgarian ski resorts, with vibrant nightlife guaranteed as soon as you’re off the slopes. The ever-friendly bar hosts at places like Bobby’s and Samokov offer unbelievably cheap local beer, and once the Bulgarian Rakia shots start flowing, you’ll understand why people are back in Borovets year after year. Borovets is far from just another ‘lads holiday’ ski destination. Instead, the country’s oldest ski resort lets a li...

The hotel is absolutely fine – what they call a 4 star in Bulgaria you wouldn’t call a 4 star here but at the end of the day you’re out there to go skiing! In terms of what’s available in Borovets, there are only 3 big hotels and this one is certainly in the top 3. There’s a decent bar downstairs, the main gondola for the top of the mountain is a 3 minute walk downhill and there’s another lift the same distance up the hill.
