było ok.
Pros:

Ogólnie było ok, domowa kuchnia i regionalne potrawy na duży plus.

Cons:

Stosunek jakości do ceny był umiarkowany. Śniadanie nie było wliczone w cenę, a biorąc pod uwagę, że był to malutki naleśnik można już było wliczyć to w cenę. Brak możliwości płacenia kartą - tylko gotówka na miejscu nie był komfortowy zwłaszcza, że nie wiedziałam tego wcześniej i tylko fartem miałam tę gotówkę.

MUY CONTENTOS
Pros:

Los dueños, Alexandra y David fueron muy agradables. Nos facilitaron la estancia en todo momento. David además hablaba muy bien el español. Cenamos y desayunamos también muy bien. Establecimiento bien alojado para recorrer la zona y el Monasterio de Rila, a una media hora. Habitación amplia, limpia y cómoda. Lugar tranquilo con buenas vistas desde la habitación.

Gutes Hotel im Rila Gebirge
Pros:

Nette Unterkunft im Rila Gebirge, kurzer Weg zum Rilski Kloster. Sehr nette Gastgeber.
Restaurant im Haus (schlicht aber günstig, Chefin des Hotels kocht selbst, sehr lecker!)

Cons:

Junior (Sohn/Neffe?) ist noch etwas unbeholfen, das macht die Chefin aber mit ihrer Freundlichkeit und Herzlichkeit locker wett
