One of Bulgaria's dream destinations! Spectacular views over the clear blue water of the lakes!
Freshies in the back country of Bulgaria was quite an adventure! We stayed at Seven Lakes Chalet, which sits at the top of the ski lift in the Rila Lakes National Park. #ski #Bulgaria #travel #chalet #snow #backcountry #patterns #mountains
Take your time and enjoy the beauty. It is worth it.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (26 reviews)
The apartment was nice and clean. However I wasn’t sent check in instruction and codes and had to follow up with the property. Additionally the room smelt of cigarettes.

8/10 Very Good! (195 reviews)
The staff on the front desk were really helpful and checked us in efficiently. The cleaning staff were excellent, with our room being cleaned at the same time each day. Overall we had no negative feelings towards the hotel (the rooms can get quite warm, but in winter that is not a bad thing at all). I saw a lot of people complain about the hotel being “outdated”, but in a former USSR country, I found it gives it some character. Would absolutely stay here again.
