Guestbook for Borovets Flora Apartment

Hi Anoosh: The apartment was great many thanks. I have no complaints whatsoever the location and condition of the apartment were excellent as were the snow conditions. Whilst on holiday there a family were looking at the hotel and asked me what I thought I recommended your apartment to them and showed them around. They were very impressed and may be contacting you to book. I gave them your contact details hope you don’t mind. We will as I am sure will some of our friends be booking with you again next year so thanks very much. Again many thanks and if you need me to give a recommendation to anybody I will be glad too.....Jacqui Lansley - UK

Hi Anoosh: The apartment was excellent, Very clean and roomy and of an excellent standard. In a very central location near to the Gondola and town. We had a very enjoyable weeks holiday, and enjoyed the resort unlike some friends who stayed at the Rila !! The snow and skiing was good. We went on a few excursions.

We would like to thank you very much, for all your help and assistance thoughout. I'm sure we will visit again !! Take Care. The Hughes Family - UK

Hello Anoosh: We all had a great time skiing in Borovets - your apartment was perfect - my daughter especially loved the size of it and wants one when she grows up! so a real hit with her - the cleaners were lovely and the modern day action man Todor was a delight - the transfer taxi's were perfectly timed and polite and everything was just so easy and enjoyable - so many thanks for your great service and we'll highly reccommend you to all our friends. Tony said to mention he found the best exchange rate was the little bank to the right of the flora hotel entrance not the one inside as they were quite rude, sullen and not good rates - just for future reference. Many thank-yous for all your support in having a very enjoyable holiday. .......xx Tracy, Tony & Ellie xx - UK
