Pros:

The room is not updated. Mattresses are too old with spring coil noise once you sit on. Room is big but many things are out of orders such as bedside table lights are not on, no power charging sockets. Shower is very small.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

This is not a 4 star.
Staff are uninterested in doing anything. Waited 4 days for handwash bottle to be replaced. No room amenities. Bathrooms old and run down with wires showing. Food pretty poor especially fkr vegetarian. Meat often was undercooked.
Pool aree dirty and run down.

Worst hotel experience ever!
Pros:


This hotel deserves zero stars. From the moment we arrived, the service was atrocious. The head waiter was incredibly rude, condescending, and unprofessional. He treated us like an inconvenience and made us feel unwelcome.
The food was equally disappointing. It was bland, poorly prepared, and lacked any flavor. The cleanliness of the hotel was also subpar. Our room was dusty, the bathroom wasn't properly cleaned, and the overall hygiene standards were questionable.
The service throughout the hotel was consistently terrible. Staff were unhelpful, slow to respond, and seemed uninterested in providing any kind of assistance. This was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I would strongly advise anyone considering staying here to look elsewhere.

Pros:

Pleasant hotel with spa facilities in a quiet, green area. Staff was friendly, breakfast offered variety. The bed was a bit too soft, but overall the room was fine.

Nice place
Pros:

We stayed for a few days - when we arrived we found out that there was a youth camp in the hotel that took over all the hotel and we felt like we had no place there.

Pros:

The two bedroom apartment was as expected. The bedrooms were with Mountain view and the balcony with pool. Rooms are spacious and kitchen is supplied with everything needed. There are oven, stove top, fridge and tea and coffee makers. The apartment has 2 bathrooms and a shower.

Pros:

Not in enough promoted hotel. Excellent food (breakfast and a la card). Generally, in Bulgaria people working as waiters are not pleasant and this hotel are not exceptional. Big and clean apartments.

Stayed for a weekend ski
Pros:

Comfortable, clean and everything prepared and heat was turned on before our arrival. It's a comfortable place to stay skiing in Bansko. It's about 20+ minutes from the Gondola and there's free shuttle bus. The hotel food was pretty good and less pricey than the places in town.

Wouldn't recommend it
Pros:

The Balkan Jewel Resort is located outside the city. It's a 15 minute drive to Bansko with almost nothing in between. So if you don't want to spend your entire time at the resort, you'll have to take a shuttle to the city.

The resort is split up into four building, unfortunately they are not connected with an internal walkway. Ergo you have to exit your building to go to the restaurant, the front desk, the gym/massage room/ jacuzzi, etc. Think about that in the winter; you'll have to wear a winter coat just to go for breakfast or pack a bag to go for a massage.

We went during the off season. We were in the Amber building of the resort. All the lights in the building were almost always off, so we would have to turn on the lights when we entered/exited the building and our floor. The building was deserted. It's just strange for a hotel.

The sole restaurant at the resort isn't very good but it's your only option if you don't want to get out.

I regret picking the Balkan Jewel Resort. I strongly recommend picking a hotel in Bansko, around the city center instead.
