Hotel Dengan Gim di Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria

All comments are highly distorted. If you visit the hotel during the week and not at the weekend, your breakfast will be moved from one restaurant to the other without you being notified. When you ask the reception why the guests are not notified, you get an answer from the receptionist: ”I can't do anything”, instead of an apology. Spa and pool hours are fixed from 8am to 8pm. The reception is also not sure about the opening hours of the pool. It turns out that the outdoor pool for adults is open until 6pm, not the children's pool until 7pm. No one cares that there are guests at the hotel. Anyone who wanted could ”melt” in the children's pool. In the morning, the outside pool starts when the lifeguard wants to come to work. You go in for breakfast and after 10 minutes a girl runs up to you, who has realized that she works at the hotel and comes to ask you which room you are from. Extremely poor breakfast variety. In the evening after 9pm there is no one to make you a cocktail at the lobby bar. Overall score:0. No one cares or wants to make you feel comfortable as a guest in the hotel.

We stayed in our own apartment on the grounds of Pirin Golf Hotel and Spa. The hotel facilities and the log fires are amazing. We enjoyed the spa daily and many thanks to Mustafa and his team for keeping the pools in perfect condition. The Clubhouse is welcoming and beautiful- nothing beats sitting by the log fires with a glass of wine. Thank you again to all the team for keeping the grounds in such a pristine condition. We will be back soon.

A stay at Regnum Bansko is definitely worth. Quitely located in the upper area of the town, a short walk from the gondola station, this hotel offers everything that one needs for a nice holiday: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, water slides, sporting fields, whirlpool, massage rooms. The hotel has a dependency in the nearby Banya village where several pools with thermal water at temperatures between 28 and 39 °C can be used free of charge by the hotel guests. The suites are spacious enough and can accommodate families with up to four children. The hotel restaurant offers a variety of dishes of the national and international cuisine, a huge salad bar, desserts, fruit and vegetables. The opening hours are long enough for all visitors and there is enough of everything everytime so one doesn't need to hurry to get his favourite dish. The staff is very kind and client oriented. All requests are satisfied within a few minutes, no matter at what time of the day or night. I can only conclude with my children's now and then asking ”When are we going again to this great five-star hotel in Bansko?”

To start the hotel is good for the money and located within 5 minute walk of the gondola. The main street is v close so easy access to everything and the old town isn't too far (10min walk). Bansko has loads of places to eat drink and be merry. Plus plethora of supermarkets etc. The restaurant is nice with plenty of space and everything is modern and clean. The staff are a bit hit and miss. Some are friendly and helpful some less so which does make some interactions uncomfortable. If you book direct with the hotel and/or use thier ski equipment and thier ski passes it seems you get a better service than if you go through 3rd party operators. We stayed as a family with 2 young children and our first night the room was awful. Thankfully the manager resolved our issues and moved us to another room the next morning which we couldn't fault. The hotel web site stats fully equipped kitchen but that's not our experience. There is a kettles with cups and a hob/oven depending on your room. However with no cutlery, crockery, pots pans trays or anything at all to prepare or eat food on the kitchen is a bit of an ornament! Meals are buffet style and tasty however for little kids it's a bit fussy so we did struggle with all meals and as a result ate out more than we had wanted. Although room service food (which is extra £) was great. Burgers, chips, spaghetti etc. Drinks not included and as expected is v expensive. They don't like serving tap water as it's free but you do get 2-4 small bottles of water provided daily in the room. The pool and spa could do with a clean and the pool water by the end of the week the chlorine was so high you could feel it when you walked into the pool area. This could be easily rectified by more frequent changes of the water or water chemical maintenance. It was half term so use was heavy.

Hotel rooms, breakfast, spa, all service - most excellent. Breakfast was very good. I do not agree with negative reviews. All the personnel are friendly and helpful. And they are really putting an effort. The pools are great( I am very sensitive- nothing happened to my skin, so I can verify the pools are clean). Cleaning of the rooms is also very good. Some tips for improvement of the spa areas: 1. It would be good if there are 2 designated lanes with dividers: one for swimming laps; and second one split in two in the middle for the people that can only do 1/2 lane. This way the swimmers can swim and the soakers can soak. It is impossible to swim from one end to the other due to people being all over the pool at all times. 2. No running and no smoking by the pools( I saw one of the lifeguard smoking near the outdoor pools). NON SMOKING needs to be strictly enforced. It is NOT.
