I've travelled all over the world and stayed at some of the best hotels and resorts; but I can honestly say I've never been looked after way we were at Chalet Jora. This was my first winter sports holiday and the first time all of the lads had been away together in a few years. We definitely picked the right... More

We went to Chalet Jora for the third time in January and I make no apology for writing another glowing review. Laura and Jay have continued to improve the chalet since our last visit and it is areal home from home for us, my wife is going back in a few weeks with her brother to get another week of... More

Do you know what Chalet Jora stands for? You certainly will upon return from a stay there; it combines the names of the owners and co-hosts Jay and Laura, whose service throughout our week stay in Bansko was second-to-none. The chalet itself is warm and cosy – heated by the man-powered (thanks Jay!), wood-burning furnace – and is decorated and... More

We returned home yesterday after spending New Year week at Chalet Jora. There were 11 of us in our group with a mix of children and adults. The hosts, Jay and Laura, did everything possible to make our stay as easy as possible including helping find child care, driving us up the mountain to beat the queues at the bottom... More

I have read the reviews about Chalet Jora and it seems to good to be true. We have just spent Christmas 2012 here and it is all true. The place is fantastic.The hosts, Jay and Laura are wonderful and the food was great. With just 7 adults in the house it worked very well with 5 bedrooms and 4 shower... More

Little late with this one as we went in March 2011 but here goes.. Quite simply amazing service. So friendly and helpful. Laura's cooking is better than most expensive restaurants I have been to! Can't fault a single thing other than it's in Bulgaria :( Laura and Jay can't you move it to the Apls please?! Bankso doesn't live up... More

I stayed with my friends (8 of us) in January and have to say I was blown away by the warmth of service and the Chalet itself, Jay the host who helps with transfers to the Slopes if full of smiles and also help out at every oppertunity Simon and his lovely partner helped keep our hunger and energy levels...

This was our first visit to Bansko, The snow conditions were perfect, the weather was sublime, the chalet was of the very highest standard and the hosts, Simon and Saraya looked after our every need with the utmost friendliness and professionalism. Utterlly brilliant.

As TripAdvisor won't allow me to review Bansko on it's own, the next bext thing is to place my review on the No 1 chalet property - hopefully the guys from Chalet Jora won't mind too much. Bulgaria is much as you’d imagine it. Half built houses and short round ladies wandering about with even more wrinkles than the roads... More
