The indoor pool and spa facilities were perfectly clean. The water temperature was just right. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. Wonderful breakfast. We loved the peace and quiet throughout the hotel. It's close enough to the town centre, so going out for dinner is no hassle.

We had a wonderful family stay at Four Points by Sheraton Bansko. The staff were very welcoming and our room was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly quiet at night. We truly appreciated the upgrade to our room — thank you for this thoughtful gesture. The hotel’s location is excellent, right in the center of Bansko, making it easy to explore. Considering the quality of service, comfort, and location, it’s also great value for money. If we ever come back to Bansko, we will definitely choose to stay here again. Highly recommended!

The room was spacious, with a modern design, and not a lot of noise could be heard from the outside. The bathroom was spacious, equipped with a bathtub, instant hot water, and great pressure. We received two free bottles of water and coffee every day, courtesy of the coffee machine. The fridge was quite big and made no noise. The temperature in the room was great. The bed was very comfortable. There was also an electric stove. Cleaning was done daily; shampoo, shower gel, bathrobes, and towels were replaced daily if you left them on the floor. The breakfast was varied and delicious. Sometimes it was a buffet, sometimes à la carte, depending on the number of guests. We also had dinner a couple of times at the hotel's restaurant, and the food was correctly cooked. We went during the week, so we basically had the spa area all to ourselves, which was wonderful. The hotel staff was very attentive, helpful, and nice. The reception area was also very nice, with lovely Christmas decorations. They organized a fine dining wine-pairing dinner, which we were informed about before our stay, requiring a 50% deposit. It was a bit expensive, but in my opinion, it was worth it, and it was the culinary highlight of our stay. So I would definitely recommend it if you have the chance.

We were on our way to Greece and we decided to stop for 2 nights here. Never been to Bulgaria before, but definietly we have to come back. The people are wonderful, the place is very nice. It is very good if you want to relax, enjoy hills, walk on the stones in a brook and eat very good food with tasty wines. We were late arriving but received step-by-step pictures and description to check-in. Very good place!

Bit worried about visiting here based on some previous reviews, however, hotel is undergoing a major refurbishment and we were really happy with all of the communal areas, bar, restaurant, pool/spa, reception/lobby and then our room, which had been newly renovated and was immaculate. We had a family mountain view suite, with two bedrooms, which was large & well equipped. It genuinely is a very nice hotel and the staff are attentive & friendly, both from guest services & reception, to bar & breakfast - would certainly recommend breakfast, they put on a huge and very nice spread. Pool & spa was also nice, they will provide towels & lockers for you, and again staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.

We stayed with our three children in the three bedroom apartment, and it was very spacious, comfortable, warm and clean. It was in the same building with the spa center and the main restaurant where the breakfast (very rich) was served. The thing that we liked most of all were the two outside heated swimming pools: it was such a pleasure to stay in a hot water with the snow around you. Once it was snowing just over our heads while we were swimming, and it was a unique and fantastic experience. The staff was always very helpful and polite. Will be back for sure!

Location of the hotel is the best you can wish according to me At the entrance of the park Sveti Vrach and at the beginning of the main street of the town. Although I didn't use any of facilities in the hotel (I came to visit the town.) I saw large number of facilities for relax or SPA. Some guest were lingering up and down in the hotel wearing SPA gowns and SPA slippers giving a feeling of being in their own homes. Hallways in the hotel are bright, clean and broad. Room was spacious with modern interior. I had a very relaxing and comfortable stay.

Town had plenty of optionality for dinning and drinks. Bulgarian people as a whole were super friendly. Pricing on slopes very competitive. Ski hire (we used Grizzly) very well priced as were the lift passes. Old town really picturesque with great quality Bulgarian cuisine. Negatives. Gondola, manic busy in peak hours. We had to opt for a taxi transfer every morning (6 euros pp). Skiing not ideal for beginners. Very limited options for people finding their feet on the snow.

I have always had a soft spot for Sandanski since I was a child. As someone who loves the city, I'd like to share my thoughts from a tourist's perspective, in hopes that the tourism industry can benefit from some constructive feedback. While the city is blessed with abundant natural resources, it falls short in terms of human management and tourist services. Instead of leveraging and enlarging its natural attractions like the park to draw in tourists, the focus is more on excessive construction around these areas while neglecting the existing infrastructure. For example, while there are mineral water springs and open swimming pools in the city center, they are surrounded by littered spaces and unattractive buildings above. Additionally, an abandoned swimming pool for high dives sits neglected next to them. This is not appealing and pushes tourists like me to pay 23 euros to use the Hotel Sandanski swimming pool. I don't find that very reasonable. The food quality in the restaurants in the city center is poor, despite the fact that the area produces the most delicious fruits and vegetables. The service is also unsatisfactory. Would it be possible to renovate and reopen the abandoned Baikal restaurant to provide at least one decent dining option without the risk of dissatisfaction? Overall, the city's potential as a tourist destination is being overlooked. This is evident from the moment you enter the city, as you can immediately notice the beautiful, unique trees alongside the broken streets.

Melnik is the smallest town of Bulgaria.

Melnik is the smallest town of Bulgaria. Picturesque architecture, small cobbled streets, most of the houses are small restaurants and hotels. The town is among the examples of old architecture in the Balkans. There is the Kordopulov house to visit - a museum hosted in a big wine producer's house from the XVIII century. Also interesting are several other examples of late medieval architecture. Local food and wine are notorious. Especially the wine. However, drink with caution - local red wines are heavy and require a good balance with the food.

Bansko is a great town which features both incredible authentic culture and heritage and ski facilities. The town played a central role in Bulgarian education in the 1800s so there is plenty to visit such as the gorgeous church of the Holy Trinity, the house of Neofit Rilski, the house of Paisii Hilendarski and others. It is very close to the beautiful Rila Monastery too. The town also hosts a Kukeri show on the 1st of Jan which is a truly enriching experience with traditional costumes, music and dancing. There are also great opportunities to try a lot of traditional food which is delicious! The ski resort is good but the lifts are a little old and run slowly accumulating queues. If all the lifts are open then there aren’t queues at the chair lifts because people are dispersed but the gondola queues are quite long. There is an alternative to the gondola which is taking a bus from the gondola station in the town to where it ends for about six euros which is totally worth it as it avoids standing around in ski boots.

In our opinion, Melnik was definitely worth the detour. The sandstone pyramids were amazing. Too bad it was cloudy in the evening so the colors weren't as bright. Don't miss the hike from Rozhen monastery (you can drive up) towards Melnik - some 20 minutes or so into the hike you get a magnificent view of both Rozhen and Melnik pyramids. Then you can return back to the car or keep hiking if you were dropped off at the monastery (I don't know what the rest of the hike is like as we didn't do it). We also thought the tunnel was interesting - we drove up and walked through, takes about 30 mins total from Melnik.

Melnik is an absolutely gorgeous town with amazing old architecture and Pyramid rocks towering over the town. Its really hot here during summer. A hotel with a pool highly recommended. The people are friendly. Service and food is great. Being a well reputed wine region the wine everywhere is very very good. Everything is walkable in the main centre. So many restaurants to choose from. Make sure you make the hike to the monastery. The views from the top are spectacular.
