 SKI CHALET REVIEWS BANSKO 

 Went on a family holiday and stayed at Snow pine chalet in Bansko. Had a fabulous time from start to finish. Transfers to and from airport and up the mountain were superb, food and hosts were great couldn’t do enough for you and would definitely recommend.

  This is the second year (2024 & 2025) that we have had a large group of us in Snow Pine Chalet. How good is it - well 17 out of 18 people returned in 2025 who were there in 2024 - what more can I say.? Excellent hosts headed by Martin & Leanne, and Milen who cater for your every need. From the moment you land at the airport until they drop you back, the service is first class from the whole team. Graham, the Chef, delivers great wholesome meals and fabulous cakes, he caters for special dietary requirements and you won’t go hungry! Shuttle service provided is spot on, no waiting with this lot, just a quick call when.you are coming off the slopes and the transport is there to whisk you back to the chalet (which is within walking distance in normal shoes in 10 minutes anyway). Rooms are all ensuite, clean and functional. Terrific VFM in an excellent après ski resort where you will have a great time - could not recommend any more highly

A very stress free and affordable ski holiday. Would highly recommend. 👍 slopes . But the best part - the hosts, nothing was ever too much trouble so chilled out and accommodating from arranging transport to the mountain to the food requirements! The food was insane, you could tell it was made with love. Altogether a brillaintly priced package, perfect for groups, our group of 11 would highly recommend!

JEANNE CLENET- 15th - 22nd Feb 2025

  We had a brilliant stay at Chalet Ginchini over Feb half term. The chalet is big with plenty of room for us as a group of 15 people (perfect for playing sardines ;)). The team were brilliant and the food absolutely delicious. Luckily Explore Bansko have a shuttle that run to the top of the mountain every morning so we avoided the issues with the lift. Would highly recommend! 

ELLIS DAVIES - 08th - 15th Feb 2025

  

Thank you so much for making our week so special, we didn't have to worry about a thing. 

You are all fab. We will definitely be in touch regarding our next trip.

Daily shuttles to the gondola were much appreciated, and the food was fabulous given that we had a few different dietary requirements in our group. Staff were super friendly and were more than happy to recommend us ski schools, restaurants, and help source a birthday cake! No request was too much. Thank you very much for a great holiday x location, amenities, and comfort.

 Absolutely incredible team! I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable trip thanks to this incredible team. From the food to the impeccable service, every aspect of our stay was nothing short of amazing. Not only did they exceed our expectations with their hospitality, but they went above and beyond by providing regular lifts to the gondola, making our stay even more convenient. All this was  offered at an unbelievably reasonable price. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking a memorable hassle-free getaway.

Hi Martin, Just want to say a very big thank you to all at River Pine After 2 years it was well worth the wait :). We were all made very welcome from the very start. You accommodated every requirement, and nothing was ever a problem. One issue was Graemes cakes……… They were too big, Ha Ha, and his cooking was excellent. Also a big thanks for the Birthday Cake and Champagne on arrival. The whole package was brilliant and we look forward to next year. So from me and our gang to you and Milen, Vlad, Graeme, Boris, Christina, Nadia, Saul and anyone else I missed out Thank You very very very much for all your hospitality.  I will cut and paste this comment on your web page  Kind regards  Mike Russell

Thanks Martin  We had a lovely stay, despite missing the first couple of days. Snow conditions were great and of course the chalet was lovely. A huge thanks to all, but especially the lovely drivers (very patient!) and the chef! We are very interested in booking for next year. Is Snow Pine available from Saturday 1st April for one week?  Thanks  Caroline

We had a fabulous stay in Ginchini during the last week of the 2022 season. Martin was extremely helpful from our first contact in January 2021 and was super flexible when we had to cancel our Christmas 2021 trip and re-arrange to April 2022. The best part was not having to think about anything except flights - transfers, accommodation, food, ski hire, gondola shuttles, additional trips, restaurant recommendations for the chef's night off - it was truly relaxing. Ginchini was perfect for our group of 16 with plenty of space and comfy bedrooms. The food was excellent and there was always plenty to eat. We hadn't expected a full week's skiing in April but conditions were perfect and we were on the mountain every day. Vlad as our day to day host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. All in all we had a perfect holiday and the group were extremely impressed with everything about the trip. I wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you to Martin, Vlad, Graeme and the team again.

Due to the great stay we just had I wanted to write a little review for future clients. I was in the villa with 17 friends of mine. The drive up to the Chalet  was easy enough and the meet & great was very efficient with mulled wine , which made it even better. From there on we got kitted with skis from the ski shop which was next door.

  

Due to the great stay we just had I wanted to write a little review for future clients. I was in the villa with 17 friends of mine. The drive up to the Chalet  was easy enough and the meet & great was very efficient with mulled wine , which made it even better. From there on we got kitted with skis from the ski shop which was next door. Very good mix of skis for both experienced and unexperinced skiers. After that we enjoyed a shuttle to Gondola after breakfast and then in the evening which was great.

The breakfast was very nice. The dinners actually exceeded our expectations and for Bulgaria, very very tasty!

The villa itself has 9 bedrooms, which was great for our group and you could lock every single room.

The lounge area we had was perfect to enjoy for playing games but also for parties. Can only highly recommend it!

Hello,

We all agreed that when we come back to Bansko we would like to stay at your chalet again.

Thank you for everything!

 Dealing with Martin and his team has been such a pleasure.

Very responsive and have a vast knowledge of the local area which allowed us to make very detailed plans for a development event we are running. Really pleased to say we will be heading to Ginchini Chalet again and again as the knowledge of having someone who truly looks after your needs and goes above and beyond to ensure you will have a great time to me is priceless!

If you are going to Bansko for the first time a stay at one of Martin's chalets is a must and if you are returning make sure you enjoy your experience to the full with them as well!!
