Rila Hotel Guide - Medi Valley Winery hotels in Rila, Bulgaria.

"A thoroughly enjoyable experience- a very well organised hotel! Great food, staff and accommodation and the slopes out the door were perfect x"

"At this price point, Hotel Grand, in Samakov, is excellent value. The owner, Stanislav, was very helpful and gave us great service. The room was fine, the restaurant was fine, the bar was fine. There are 4 large supermarkets very near the hotel. We like supermarkets :) We had a great, comfortable stay. Thank you Stanislav and your team :)"

"Spa is wonderful "

"nice and cool"

"Everything was perfect!The only thing that was missing was a hairdryer!"

"Very good included spa facilities. Good to have an on-site ski shop and shuttle bus. Dining facilities and food were very good, breakfast was tasty and in plentiful supply and variety, the half board evening meal was excellent - particularly the deserts. Convenient nearby parking. Staff generally polite and helpful. Room facilities like safe and fridge were welcome. However we would have liked to have had ordinary (black) tea and milk in the room and maybe hot chocolate sachets and a coffee machine for proper coffe (as opposed to only fruit tea and nescafe sachets with whitner powder). Drinks in the hotel were also a bit pricey (although this was the case throughout the resort). Overall very pleased."

"The appartment was clean and big enough to accomodate five people. There was a fireplace, which was really nice to have. Unfortunately, the things we didn't like were more than what we liked: during the whole stay (8 days) the towels where changed only once and after our requeste; the air in the SPA center was cold, the there were three saunas, but only one was working; the water in the swimming pool was very cloudy and I didn't let my kids in it (it was like that during the whole stay). The food in the restaurant was OK, but almost the same every day and not much choice. For breakfast there was a local dish called banitsa, which is really good pastry, when it is freshly baked and homemade, but unfortunately the one in the restaurant was from the frozen one sold in the shops (equivalent of the frozen pizza). As a whole I wouldn't recommend it as the cost was not cheap, but the quality of the service was not what you would expect."
