Ques for the Gondola are terrible.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

5 years ago it was a nice place to visit, now it’s turning into a neon cheap looking resort. Gondola lift queue Spoils the day. Rude locals. I’m No longer is it cheap to eat out. Disappointing with how it’s evolved

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Great place to go to learn to ski. Bit limited in terms of advanced slopes and variety. The touristy bit of town leaves a lot to be desired.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Some days there were queues for the gondola but to be expected at such a busy time of the year.

2/5 - Disappointing

Ive been to Bansko a few times but this will be my last. I just cant deal with how unfriendly and unhelpful the entire resort is. Really need to work on their customer service if they want tourist to keep coming to their town!
