The host owners were excellent, always helpful and good attitude with our questions and requests for meals, sauna, jacuzzi etc.
We enjoyed the nye party they hosted with other guests. Food was typical local meals, all delicious and waiting staff very good. We thoroughly enjoyed this rather than going in to the town.
Breakfast was a good spread of eggs, cold cuts, hot items, salads, fruits, yoghurt.
Location is excellent and quiet. 10min walk to the gondola and ski centre area. And 10min walk in the opposite direction for the old town.
We were in a twin room. Room was comfortable but found the bathroom inconvenient as was a wet room with the shower over the toilet. Considering the shape and size of the bathroom they could have placed the toilet next to the basin (next to door) and then the shower at the end of the room. I did spot some of the other rooms had the same wet rooms and others had a proper separate shower.
We really enjoyed our stay here, with excellent hosts and locations. If visiting here again we would ensure to request a room without a wet room.

Like Part of the Family
Posted 6 Feb 2020 on HotelsThe owners of the Hotel Rahoff treated our family like a part of their family. They picked us up at the airport, gave us a quick tour of Sofia, and even had food waiting for us when we arrived in Bansko around 11pm. Anything we needed, they were there to help us in any way possible. The food was great, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and their New Year's Eve party was amazing. We will definitely be returning and staying at the Rahoff again.

The service in this hotel is second to none, Krasimir and his wife are so accommodating between sorting out our ski gear, driving us to the hire shop, sorting out a trip to a local spa and driving us there and back, the whole family hosting us for a fantastic homemade meal down to even lending us a plug converter when ours broke.
They went over and above for us and it made the trip so much more enjoyable.
If you are going to Bansko, you should stay here!
We will definitely be returning!

The Rahoff was spotlessly clean, from the bedroom to reception to the bar/restaurant.
The beds were super comfy, I was in luxury room 25 which was spacious, has a hairdryer, mini fridge and a kettle with lots of storage.
One bit of advice, pull the shower curtain across before turning on the water. The bar/ restaurant is cozy and exactly what you would expect to find in the mountains. It was like being at home. As for our hosts Kris and Maria, nicest people ever, so helpful and so lovely. You could tell they loved what they do and take so much pride in their home.
Kris would give us a lift to the Gondola in the mornings. They make their own wine, herbal tea and Maria makes the best cookies, she is the loveliest lady. The food in the restaurant for dinner reads simple on the menu, it is simply delicious and so Inexpensive. Really delicious home cooked food. We wish we ate there more often.
When we were leaving Kris and Maria actually gave us gifts including his homemade wine and local hand cream. If I ever return to Bansko I will be staying in the Rahoff. Friends of ours stayed in a big fancy hotel up the town and they paid €1500 more than us and they said they would definitely stay in Rahoff over the other hotel too. We were all so impressed. 5 stars

Quaint hotel in good location
Posted 23 Dec 2017Fantastic value and exceptional service. Chris and Maria went above beyond to make our stay in Bansko amazing. Breakfast was simple but delicious. Hotel is more of a guest house with an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. Location is perfectly situated in a quiet area between the old town and the base of gondola.

The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful. The only thing that was a bummer was that they are temporarily doing construction outside. Other than that it was perfect!

A decent family hotel
Posted 16 Mar 2016 on HotelsVery good location, 7-10min walk from the bottom of the slopes and the food/nightlife.
We've booked a double room but initially got given twin beds. The maid didn't speak english but we got put on the phone to the owner who switched our room promptly. We didn't book the breakfast, but decided to try it on the first morning. At 3 euro per person we weren't too impressed. Most of the food was cold and the selection wasn't great. All the fruit appeared to have been out for a while and not very fresh. We didn't come back the next morning. Wouldn't recommend breakfast as an add-on. The room we got hadn't had a safe or the tea+coffee making facilities and the shower was a little awkward (the curtain was a bit scruffy and covered the shower base and the toilet in one section so the loo got wet while we showered). Nevertheless, the room was clean and spacious with additional bed and a balcony. The room was cleaned and towels replaced every day. The bed was very comfortable and the landlords were very friendly. We had no problems/or extra charges when late checking out. If you looking for luxury, it's not a hotel for you, if you look for a simple hotel, peace and quiet and a comfortable place to relax after all day on the slopes and before heading out to town for nightlife and dinner then its definitely a good shout.
