Dafovska Hotel    

I wanted to write a proper review of our hotel and experience while in Pamporovo, so this is the addition to my email. We flew to Sofia and the pre booked taxi transport was waiting for us. The driver (Kosta) was wonderful and we felt really safe with him driving. Our flight was late and we arrived to the Dafovska hotel after midnight. The reception was open and they were waiting for us. We were given sandwiches and water and shown to our room. The rooms were spacious and warm, the beds comfortable, bathroom lovely and clean. Plenty of hot water, the towels were changed every day and bins emptied. The hotel has Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room which is 12 leva per person with towels. I would have liked the water in the Jacuzzi to be a bit warmer. We went in every day after skiing, apart from one when we tried a different hotel. Snezanka hotel has a swimming pool too. Its ok but it was too busy for us and we decided to stick with ours. Their changing rooms are very very small and you have to pay extra for the towels. We chose half board. There was many things to choose for breakfast, hot food, pancakes, fruit, cereal & toast. Apple & orange juice as well as many teas and coffees. I have to admit I always take my own tea bags �. Not having to cook dinner after a day skiing was very welcome. There isn’t really a great choice for strict vegetarians, but I always managed to find tasty food to eat. You can buy drinks from the bar, or bring your own. There is a free shuttle bus that takes you to ski centre Malina. Very busy ski centre. We met with the representative Nelly there. I would have preferred to have the information on what time to be where when we arrived. Nelly organised our helmets (you need to rent this separately, 5 leva per person), ski equipment and our instructor. Well! I cannot give more glowing review for our instructor! Alex was amazing, very patient, very friendly and knowledgeable. We had lessons in the morning, then lunch, which he was very good to organise with the local bar, then another set of lessons. The food in the bars by the ski school and at the top of the slope was very good. Big portions, quickly delivered. I only needed soup at lunch time which were homemade and delicious. Staff, at the ski centre and gondolas, didn’t always speak a lot of English or smile enough but they were never the less very helpful especially with children and beginners. We skied on our last day too and we were picked up from the hotel by a taxi to be taken to the airport. This taxi driver was not so careful and good at driving and we could not wait to get to Sofia and get out of his car. The whole organisation of our trip with BulgariaSki was excellent! Thank you all

Stayed in 2012 Xmas and New Years and really enjoyed our stay at the Dafovska Hotel. The owner Dafovska is so friendly and hard working and the hotel itself is clean and the rooms (even studio rooms) are large with nice balconies. I am from New Zealand and living in the UK and I will definitely be back. Blagodaria!! (thank you in Bulgarian)

Ενα πολÏ� καλοβαλμένο ξενοδοχείο, με τεÏ�άστια δωμάτια και απολÏ�τως παÏ�αδεκτή Ï„Ï�οφοδοσία. Ζεστό και χωÏ�ίς να λείπει τίποτα . Î?έα στο βουνό , κοντά στην μικÏ�ή αγοÏ�ά του χιονοδÏ�ομικοÏ� κέντÏ�ου. Το μίνι μπας πάντα στην ÏŽÏ�α του και δωÏ�εάν η μεταφοÏ�ά στην βάση των λίφτς. Î�α Ï€Ï�οβλέψετε αποθήκευση του σκι εξοπλισμοÏ� σας στην βάση των λίφτς για να μην τα κουβαλάτε κάθε μέÏ�α. Οι πίστες πολÏ� φÏ�οντισμένες καθημεÏ�ινά και όχι όπως στο Μπάνσκο εγκαταλελημμένες στο έλεός τους.

lovely hotel ,nice rooms ,very friendly staff, food was ok not brilliant ,the only gripe we had was the bus service ,it needs to be updated, but saying that i think we will be going back next year ,.

The Dafovska is a lovely hotel, the staff are very polite. The food is traditional Bulgarian, but of very good standard. The rooms are fairly small, but very clean with average storage. We stayed here in March 2009, the snow that year was fantastic, with PLENTY of powder. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family without hesitation.

My family love this hotel. It is a family run hotel and is much quieter than the bigger hotels. The owners and staff are very helpful and make every attempt to ensure your stay is great. If you want a livelier evening then a few steps away from your hotel are all the popular bars, but if you just want a quiet evening having a drink and a chat then the small bar area is very comfortable to sit in. The rooms are a good size and clean and have wonderful views from the balcony. We will be going back again next year, so I think that says it all.

Just back from Dafovska, lovely, small, family run hotel. Staff very friendly, rooms nicely decorated and clean, small bar area downstairs comfortable and drinks prices half what charged in other hotels. We had a family room with a double bedroom and a double sofa bed in lounge area, although the mattresses on both looked very thin, we slept well every night. Fantastic views from windows. Dont want to oversell this hotel, since dont want it to be fully booked when we go back next year! But it was lovely.

This is a lovely little hotel. The rooms are fantastic (we stayed in an apartment/family room - well worth the extra money). Very centrally located, directly opposite the Perelik. Staff are very friendly -from the owners to the maids. Beer is also the cheapest in Pamporovo!

Visited the Dafovska hotel, last week (15th March), it is absolutely beautiful, so clean and tidy the rooms are better than the Hotel Pamporovo where we were staying and the staff so helpful and friendly. The hotel is opposite the Perelik so close to all the amenities and is independently run as apposed to most hotels in Pamps. The bar is a quarter of the price of all the other hotels, a beer costing less than 2 levs!!! This hotel has been rated 3 star at present but am sure it will be a 5 star before long, its a pity that the tour operators may use it next year as at present they dont. You wont be dissapointed staying here.
