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.

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.

It was family hotel and mechana with tasty, traditional food, music and beautiful view on mountains (river is audibile). Host was very open and helpful (e.g. she borrowed us map and guidebook, helped with finding bus stop, bus timetable, best way to Rilski Monastyr and paths around). Last day very quickly she made for us the best breakfast ever - at her expense! Even if rooms aren't as in 5-star hotel, I recommend this place very much!
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.
The Hotel & Restaurant are located in a beautiful area in the middle of the Rila Mountains, a short drive from the UNESCO Heritage monastery we well as many other sites and attractions. The staff were very kind and helped us sign in ahead of time. The food was local, homemade and delicious - also very healthy with many vegetables and salads!
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...
We stayed at Rilets Resort & Spa for a chilling weekend with my husband. We very liked the location. The hotel is located in the hidden area, in the forest, with a great mountain view, in a walking distance there are a lot of nice hiking trails and an amazing Rilla Monastery. Hotel also has enough parking slots.
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.
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.
We really enjoyed our get away, my husband and I took my mom for a day trip to Rila monastery and really enjoyed the family trip. Everything was on point, the stuff was really friendly and helpful. We sure will be back again
For a 2* hotel has everything you may want. The rooms are clean and big enough for a short stay. The restaurant serves delicious food at reasonable prices. It's the perfect choice if you want to visit Rila Monastery.
A charming family hotel in a lovely area close to Rila monastery. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and the service top notch. The food in the restaurant is delicious. Highly recommended.
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.
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.
Fantastic location, and a (potentially) well-equipped hotel. The staff was friendly and professional. Given other lodging in the vicinity of Rlia Monastery, this was one of the best!
The room had a fantastic view from the comfortable balcony. The Rila monastery was a few minutes away by car. The hotel's restaurant provides excellent dining options.
The hotel is very beautiful and its architecture is quite nice.
- parking is easy
- our room was spacious and comfy. No air conditioning but no complain here.
Location was fine for one night; the room was very big and clean; Rila Monastery is only a couple of minutes by car away; food at the restaurant was good
