A lovely hotel in the Rila mountains. Beautiful grounds, we enjoyed a delicious dinner in the garden. In the cool of the morning we had a tasty, and ample, breakfast served to us in the charming dining room. Wonderful proprietor, Villy, has a calm demeanor, and professional but low key operation. Spotless rooms and grounds. We wished we had planned to stay for longer.

We liked the hotel, but we were looking forward to the rooftop pool which was out of order and was not mentioned on the page. We still paid full price which we found a bit annoying

There was enough to see at the monastary, even though most museums there seemed no to be open (it was February!). Entrance is free but be ready to pay 5 levs for parking (you do get all day for that).
The area has dramatic scenery with some other things to see other than just the Monastary.
We visited the grave of James Baucher and discovered why Sofia has a station named after this Irishman!

We take all our foreign guests to visit the Monastery.
We take all our foreign guests to visit the Monastery. It is iconic. The parking cost 5 Leva, but there is no entry fee to the Monastery. The two museums in the monastery require an entry fee, but are worth the price. Make sure that you see the clock tower bells that ring on the hour. Behind the Monastery is a little fast food place that sells a Bulgarian treat called "makitsa", it costs 1 Lev and even the Bulgarians will tell you that is the best "makitsa" in the country.

In the warmer months,go early, as in be there by 10AM.
In the warmer months,go early, as in be there by 10AM. Afterwards it gets very crowded by Noon. Avoid the weekends and holidays if possible. There is a 5LV parking fee. Admission is free to the church-no photos inside. There are 4 museums each with a 4 LV charge. The exterior murals are from the late 19th C. The main beauty is the exterior of the church and it's grounds.
The back entrance and parking area is heavily commercialized, however there is a stand there making fresh hot donuts. They are as close to heaven as you'll get!

Check the Internet for Rila monastry.
Check the Internet for Rila monastry. They do have an excellent website.
It is worth the visit. Mind that it is a 30 min drive from the interstate each way. Accomodation quality seems questionable in the area. at least my negative experience with Gorski Kut was horrible.

The tour of the monastery was fantastic.
The tour of the monastery was fantastic. Because we stayed right next to the monastery we were there early do got an individual tour of the ethnography rooms and icon room. Place is a lovely visit anyway but seeing it without the crowds is fantastic. (Go early or stay late!)

Rila Monastery is one of the Icons of the region!
Rila Monastery is one of the Icons of the region! It contains everything: culture, history, nature, religion - you name it!
Unfortunatelly for the surrounding structures - some of them are not maintained very well which need to be improved (this is valid for the roads too). However the region is with Must Visit state for me.

All the things about this hotel was exceptational. The room was looking to a small river, and the scenery was breathtaking. The room and bathroom was super clean. It would be one of my best rooms I've stayed in my life. The restaurant was extremely delicious, and you absolutely should try potato fries with cheese (parzheni kaftofi sas sirene). Very close to the monastary with car.
A lovely hotel in the Rila mountains. Beautiful grounds, we enjoyed a delicious dinner in the garden. In the cool of the morning we had a tasty, and ample, breakfast served to us in the charming dining room. Wonderful proprietor, Villy, has a calm demeanor, and professional but low key operation. Spotless rooms and grounds. We wished we had planned to stay for longer.
The location was perfect for our trip, it is very close to the Rila monastery, the road is perfect and the location is easy to reach and find. The staff was very polite, especially at the restaurant. The food was amazing, it was not expensive, yet very delicious. The river is passing next to the hotel, so the only "noise" you can hear is from the splashing water.
quiet location, clean and simple, in the style of mountain cabins, we rested well. breakfast was good, a continental breakfast,the dinner served at the restaurant is well cooked and tasty. very good price-quality ratio
the Rila monastery is close by and we had a peaceful and relaxing time after the long journey...
A plesant, quiet and cosy small hotel and restaurant located close to Rilski Manastir. The friendly staff serves excellent trout in their restaurant. A perfect place to use as a base to explore the monastry and its surrounding mountains and return in the afternoon for a glass of wine and excellent trout fish.
We were so pleased to visit the hotel. location is perfect, really good rooms with amazing views and the river. Staff helpful and friendly, the food in the restaurant was lovely with local products which taste delicious. Prices reasonable. The surrounding nature is peaceful and charming.
The location is perfect for visiting Rila monastery. Hosts were welcoming and friendly, although there are no refrigerator in the room, they allowed us to keep our food in their refrigerator. Sound of nearby stream/river by an open window during summer night was wonderful.
The hotel was almost empty, but the receptionist was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and in good condition, the room was spacious and the view from the balcony was especially great. The included breakfast was very tasty as well.
I stayed there for a night with my parents. Lovely family hotel; small but clean rooms, great customer service.
Worth having dinner at the restaurant, fresh and tasty. Breakfast was perfect. If I go back in the area I’ll definitely stay there again.
The hotel has an old communist era hotel feel, but some may find that charming in its own right. Everything was clean, the location is excellent, there is a restaurant on site, with great views of the creek and sunset. The food was very tasty.
We stayed in the hotel one night. It is in the forest not far from the monastary. The hotel is beautiful, well equipped with a very hospitable staff and tasty breakfast.It's worth of money.
Great place, accommodation, good beds, nice location of the hotel. Very good breakfast options, very good menu and lots of options for lunch or dinner. Is our second stay in this hotel.
Kind and responsive host and staff, the food at the restaurant was delicious.
We had a nice view to the mountains and even though the hotel is on the road, we had no trouble sleeping.
The place is stunningly beautiful, the idea of the hotel is great and with a bit more work on it it will be in my top 2 lists to stay in Rila mountain.
