Great location & a great price

Having been to Borovets for skiing twice before, I decided to book a chalet rather than a hotel package deal. For value for money & location Chalet Rachel was perfect. Only 5 minutes walk to the bottom of the slopes (opposite Hotel Rila) with plenty of bars, restaurants & shops on the way.

Great for a week on the slopes

Chalet Rachel was ideal for us. We wanted somewhere to relax after a day on the slopes with friends and the chalet gave us the perfect base for this. Close enough to walk to the slopes and restaurants shops and bars. We found the chalet cozy and comfy enough. Will definitely consider staying again!
