This is a quiet, idyllic hotel, situated high in the Rila mountains. The staff are incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. Everything there, from the beds, the view, to the wonderful breakfast (included) and dinner available in their restaurant was superb! There is a lot of nature nearby to walk around in, and the Rila lakes lift is accessible by car. I can highly recommend staying here, and will certainly be coming back again.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and extremely professional. Check-in was smooth and quick, which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travel. The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable. The bed was especially cozy, and I slept incredibly well. I also appreciated the thoughtful amenities and attention to detail throughout the room. The hotel facilities were excellent, and everything was well-maintained. The location was perfect — conveniently situated near restaurants, and local attractions, yet still peaceful and quiet. What truly made the stay exceptional was the outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and their friendliness made me feel right at home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and great service.

“Amazing stay”
The hosts were super nice. We were the only guests in the hotel and they treated us with grace. The breakfast was an excellent way to start the day. The dog Maxi kept us company everytime we went out of the house or when we came back from our activities.

“Amazing hosts, destination and overall service”
Amazing hosts! Mimi was super nice and warm towards us, offered us a lot of additional things like free room service and extra cheese/butter for breakfast. The hotel was right in the middle of the forest and the view was exceptional. It was warm, quiet and peaceful - definitely a relaxing experience, if you want a city break.

“Ideally situated hospitable hotel for a visit to Rila Seven Lakes.”
Very nice and hospitable owner Kapka, she arranged transportation to the Rila Seven Lakes included lunch. It's a spectacular hike, stunningly beautiful. You need to be in good walking condition (6 hours) She even took us to our next destination when the taxi didn't showed up. The hotel is beautiful situated in the wooded area! Nice cappuccino!! Thanks Kapka for the nice days, greetings Mannie and Erwin

“Pleasant stay, very kind hosts!”
Very friendly and kind hosts! They offered us to try a homemade cake they’d like to introduce to the menu at the restaurant. Even offered us a free office before we left for our trip back home. Appreciate those little kind details!
