- Ling (10/5): Very good apartment in the centre of Bansko - The Host is very helpful and excellent in communication
Good location and good size apartment
Very clean A little thing to improve: the spa was said to open for using but nothing is turned on so it would have taken long time to get them heated up so we didn't use it
- DIYAN (9/5): -
- Ohad (9/5): - מקום שקט נעים ונקי.
מיטות נוחות ומקלחת נקייה
לא צריך יותר. היה חסר מזגן לחימום.
- Hartmut (10/5): -
- Antoniа (8/5): - Доста просторен и светъл апартамент, с достъп до две тераси. Чисто и не далеч от централната част на Банско. Имахме безпроблемно самостоятелно настаняване. Част от мебелите имат нужда от обновяване.

- Андреан (9/5): Доволен съм. - Бях в апартамент.Има какво да се желае, но всичко беше наред.Добра комуникация с управителката. Има само 3 места за паркиране.За другите в околностите.
- Marko (10/5): - Perfect
- Milos (8/5): - Lokacija Kreveti losi, peskiri prljavi, posteljina poguzvana
- Maya (6/5): - Удариха ни на паркинга, а в крайна сметка не погледнаха камерите и казаха, че нищо не се вижда !
Следите от съседната кола бях видими по нашата , но в крайна сметка си остана за наша сметка !!
- Snezana (10/5): Very pleasent - We felt at home from the very first moment. We came late, but everything was arranged for our late check-in. Thanks a lot. We would stay again at this estate.
- vin (10/5): замечательная сауна и ванна джакузи. Очень тихо и спокойно - завтрак не входит в стоимость, но условия для приготовления еды идеальные
я по ошибке забронировала студию вместо апартаментов, но управляющая предоставила нам апартаменты по той же цене. Очень тщательно и заботливо убирался номер.

- SERGIU (7/5): - Aproape de centru ! Nu a avut aer condiționat , miros neplăcut in baie !
- Hüveyda (10/5): Entspannter Aufenthalt mit schöner Aussicht - Es war sauber, funktional, gut ausgestattet mit schönem Balkon, auf dem man sitzen konnte. Gute Lage, Ansprechpartner stets erreichbar. Roomservice jeden Tag. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen
- Chloe (9/5): Cozy, peaceful and chill - Great location. Clean quiet accommodation. I thought there was supposed to be a kitchen, which my room did't have, but that might have been my fault?
- Zlatin (9/5): Great value for money - Property is located just couple of minutes from the centre of Bansko.
There are spa facilities which might be used by the guests all day long.
The room is spacious. The rooms need some renovation.
They dont have a full day Reception which might be a problem for someone
However, the lady is replying quick so it is not a big deal.
- Lucia (9/5): Superb -
- Sagi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Veselina (9/5): Superb -
- Dana154 (10/5): Exceptional - The room is big, enough for families with one/two kids.
- Everything is clean and every two days they change the towels, bedsheets and clean the room.
- The kitchen is equipped with everyhting you need for cooking and eating.
- Well heated rooms.
- Beautiful view from the room balcony/windows.
- The jacuzzi and the saunas were a big plus after a day of skying. Also the play room for the kids and the table tennis (all free of charge).
- Close to the gondola (7 minutes walk).
- Attentive and responsive personnel.
- 3 parking spots in the courtyard.
- Excellent quality-price ratio. The beds are a little unconfortable, especially the extensible sofa in the living room, which is 120 cm wide (not enough for 2 adults). We liked that we were given an extra matress to put it above the sofa, to make it more confortable.
- The furniture needs small repairs.
- Александра (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (9/5): Superb -
- Trendafil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikola (10/5): Guest House Ela in Bansko provided a 10/10 experience with a perfect spa to relax after skiing. - I had a fantastic stay at Guest House Ela in Bansko. The spa was perfect for unwinding after a day of skiing—truly a 10/10 experience! Everything was perfect!
- Ася (9/5): Superb -
- Vasil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adrian (9/5): Superb - Lovely staff, Clean and homely Room cleaning was a little random, some days everything would be done, some days just the bathroom, some days nothing at all, not a major issue but some consistency would be nice
- Ionathan (10/5): Exceptional -

- Elnekave (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect and the apartment had all what is needed
- İlker (9/5): Superb - Price/performance Beds:(
- Alois (8/5): Very good - Spacious apartment and the building was very warm, which was great after a day on the slopes.
Also it was perfectly located, close to the gondola but just far enough from the noise of the centre The only reason why it doesn't score 10/10 is that there was a bit of mold in the shower and it was leaking from under it. But for the rest it was very clean and cozy
- Nemanja (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (9/5): Superb - The location is great, the staff is nice, great price. The mattress is a little hard, some little broken things like a handle of a closet or a bath door that not really bothers, the light is too weak.
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julianne (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about our stay was exceptional. The place was perfect for my friend and me. The hot tub and sauna are great after a day on the mountain. The owner was very helpful with everything. I would definitely stay here again.
- Veselin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Melissa (9/5): Great place to stay in Bansko! - Well located property within walking distance of the Ski Gondola and ski hire shops. Close to lots of restaurants and supermarkets too. Nice to be able to use a sauna and jacuzzi after a day of skiing. There was plenty of hot water and the accommodation was always beautifully warm and clean! Nothing! Decor a bit dated but that really does not matter!
- Stivan (9/5): Superb -
- Ayse (9/5): Superb - Great location if you are in Bansko for skiing. About 7 minute walk to the gondola and so many restaurants close by. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The view of the mountains from the balcony was beautiful
- George (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ken_l_ (6/5): Convenient to the lift at a reasonable price. - Great location, affordable. The place was overrated ~9 when it was really a 6-7. I didn't meet a real live person from the staff during the entire stay.
- Argyrios (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikoletta (9/5): Superb -
- Argyrios (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dushan (8/5): Very good -
- Rolanda (8/5): Overall, I was extremely happy with my stay. - The location was excellent—just a short distance from the ski lift, as well as shops and restaurants. One standout feature was the consistently warm rooms, providing comfort even when temperatures outside dropped below freezing. Everything was great, except for the hairdryer, which could use some improvement.
- Doruk (10/5): Nice accomodation for Bansko - Location, big rooms, sauna, steam bath, jakuzi -
- Xuezeng (5/5): Good location but not value for the amount we paid. - The location is great. We booked for 6 person. 4 adults and 2 kids. However, Our studio apartment’s Sofa bed is not there. Also,One bedroom sofa bed is not comfortable at all. It is not possible to stay with sofa bed. By no choice, We have to pay additional amount to get the third apartment.
- Nikolaos (8/5): Very good -
- Desislava (10/5): Exceptional -
- Afentoulis (10/5): Perfect value for money place - Location cleanliness They forgot to get the sofa ready for the third adult but we short that out
- Eric (10/5): Great apartment - A great apartment. Large, light and airy. Nothing
- Esben (8/5): Very good - Good clean room. Nice garden with private parking. Very nice old lady to let us in. Although she only spoke bulgarian. A little hard to find, and a very bad road for the last 50-75 meter.
Could not get the heatet working
But we would come back
- Yoanna (8/5): Very good - Good for a short stay.
Reasonable quality-to-price ratio.
Amazing view from the third floor.
Very close to the gondola and the starting point of the mountain paths.
Lots of supermarkets and restaurants around + a great bakery. Maybe a few more cups would be nice (e.g. there were no teacups, only coffee cups).
I'm not sure any of the heating options in the room were operational, but if so, we didn't manage to figure them out on our last night, when it got a bit chillier.
- Radost (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cristian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Николай (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thomas (9/5): Very good. - Best price - service realtion. Very clean and cosy appartment with good view from the balcony. Highly recommended !
- Clara (10/5): Almost like home - Very nice appartment for the low price! Comfy, everything worked well. The hosts were very nice and kindly agreed to do some laundry for us for a small price. One very minor thing: the cooking supplies could be a bit more diversed (e.g. cutting board, bowl, etc.).
- Dimiter (9/5): Superb - The sauna, steam bath and jacuzzi were great! The room was spacious, it offered plenty of room and a decent set of kitchen cutlery and utensils. The location is both within walking distance of the town center and sufficiently quiet. The parking spot was alright! Some bath robes would have been great!
- Nascimbene (4/5): Next time different place. Not raccomended - The apartment is good except the bed. The place is too noisy. On both days, at 6 a.m., a child started to shout and speak out loud.
- Svetlozara (9/5): Superb - The staff was really nice, the communication was easy.
- Barbora (9/5): Superb - Nice quiet location. Easy check in. The shower was leaking.
- Ned (10/5): It was great. A nice apartment with a terrace and a mountain view. -
- Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dimiter (7/5): It's alright, but there is definitely room to improve - We really liked the room, it was spacious, and the kitchen had pretty much everything (except for an oven). The bathroom was alright, and the sauna and steam bath were nice. The location is good if you want to have some peace and quiet, yet still be in close walking distance of restaurants and shops. A few things need to be improved:
- Parking was tight, featuring only 3 parking spots and pretty much nobody moves their car. If you arrive late, you're out of luck.
- We noticed other people were waiting at reception with nobody coming to address their issue for an extended period of time.
- The receptionist was unable to provide us with any bath robes.
- Only one set of towels was provided for each guest, despite the property not offering bath robes and still featuring SPA.
- The sauna and steam bath are pretty compact (maybe good for 3-4 people max).
- There was the distinct smell of moisture in the steam bath.
- The sofa bed was rough.

- Te0 (8/5): Very good -
- Stefaniа (8/5): Very good -
- Sergejs (10/5): Exceptional -

- Shara (10/5): Very comfortable, helpful, and accommodating. Great budget stay. - Ela Guesthouse is a fantastic deal. Very helpful staff when booking and answering questions. There is no real "reception" but they have everything you need. Highly recommend. My sons stayed there for a snowboarding trip and they were very comfortable and there were no issues.
- Palamaru (10/5): Exceptional - Verry nice and clean place. Close to the centre of the city.
