Guest reviews for Villa Ibar
"Apartment is spacious and well equiped. Breakfast is good and there's variety. Location is very good."
"Parking and especially entrance wasn't cleaned of snow and ice."
"The location is great for skiers, close to the pistes and the 4-seater chair lift, with proper ski room and even boot drying equipment. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with nice wooden furniture. The breakfast was plenty, varied, and tasty. Our arrival was delayed, but we had no problems arranging a late check-in, with no extra costs."
"The breakfast could have started earlier so that we would be able to get to the first ski lifts (breakfast was between 8 and 10 am, and the first chair is at 8:30)."
"Location closed to ski lift near Rila hotel. The breakfast was good, with variety of kinds. The room was warm and was heated generously."
"It was nice if breakfast could start earlier say 7:30 because the ski lift becoming very busy with 1:30 hour wait. So i consider skip breakfast."
"The staff was very nice. The hotel was clean and cozy."
"A bit far (by foot with the ski equipment ) from the slope."
"Great location, a few minutes walk to everything. Room was so big and comfortable with two balconies. Host was very friendly and helpful. Great for kids too."
"Nothing!"
"Very cost, close to the slopes. Staff were very helpful. Clean Easily accessible"
"Aucun."
"A warm and comfortable room. The room was big enough for two people. There was also an extra bed in the room. The bathroom was also warm and spacious enough. Breakfast was very good. There was a ski room where you can store your ski equipment. The hotel is not far from the ski slopes."
"There was no refrigerator in the room. The door lock should be checked. There is a water leakage in bath."
"It’s a very cute, low-key hotel. We stayed in their apartment room for four people and were very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, with small changes every day that kept it interesting. They also have a small sauna that fits up to four people, available for an extra €15 per session. Since we were four, it ended up being very affordable, and we used it almost every evening. The location is very convenient—less than a 5-minute walk to the Sitnyakovo Express lift and about a 10-minute walk to most of the village’s restaurants."
"They don’t really have a concept of daily housekeeping, or at least it wasn’t clear to us whether it needed to be requested. Normally, you wouldn’t expect to have to ask for your room to be cleaned. We stayed for four nights and did not receive any housekeeping service at all—no bed making and no emptying of the trash bins. That said, since we were using the sauna, we did receive fresh towels every evening. We used those as shower towels and repurposed the older ones for the sauna, which worked out fine. On a more personal note, I unfortunately lost my sleeping mask during our stay. I called the hotel to ask if they could look for it, as it couldn’t have been lost anywhere else. However, it seemed that, because it was “just” a sleeping mask, there wasn’t much effort put into finding it. It was a Mulberry silk mask costing around €50, so I would have appreciated a more thorough search—especially since it may have been mixed in with the laundry (bedsheets or towels) taken after our departure. They just called back to say they couldn’t find it."
"We were surprised by the size of the room, which was actually an apartment. A lot of windows and natural light, right next to the woods. Very good breakfast."
"Aucun."
"Perfect for us, a group of friends passionate about MTB. Good conditions considering the price we paid. We have been coming to the same place with pleasure for over 5 years."
"Aucun."

"Лесна комуникация по телефона с домакините. Забавихме се с пътя вечерта, но те ни изчакаха за чекирането. Беше чисто."

"The house was a renovated original old Bulgarian house with nice folkloric decoration and amenities. The lady who received us was very warm and responsive, she even bought special bread for my husband who has diabetes. Thank you, Minka! The room was quiet, very basic but with all necessary equipment. The bed was comfortable."
