Traveled all over Bulgaria, slept in over 100 hotels. This is the only hotel you should ever consider. It is a fact that Bulgarians find it hard to serve other people; smiles are hard to find... No such thing at Katarino. MEGA friendly and professional staff. Very helpful. Even cheerful at times. The same people have been working here since... more

Good food, quiet, good spa, good place i'll go again. more

The pools (indoor and outdoor) are superb with hot mineral water, the kids loved it. The spa is huge and you can relax without disturb. You should lunch in outdoor restaurant in the forest - the great nature around is breathtaking. more

This is our third visit but in the summer so I can not speak for the skiing part and how far the skiing terrains are. Also, we stayed within the property the whole time so I can not tell what’s happening in the closest town Razlog. This is excellent hotel for people who are looking for rest and nothing else,... more

Katarino is a vacation choice of many of my Bulgarian friends, so I thought that it would offer more than the sub-par experience provided by the average number of Bulgarian hotels.

My wife and I booked one week of ski & fun in this Hotel, not realizing that we have to measure with balkan standarts... At arrival, the rude welcome at Reception gave us a first impression which standarts we will have to deal with for the following 6 days. The room was ok, not too dirty if you dont mind... more

Stayed at the Katarino in March 2009 with my family, which consisted of three children and two adults, so we had to have two adjoining rooms which was no problem. I had read previous reviews, especially about Toni the barman charging £30 for a whisky and was obviously a bit worried - DON'T BE WORRIED THIS IS AN EXCELLENT HOTEL.... more

I spent 8 days in KATARINO SPA hotel with my husband in February. Wonderful hotel, nice, clean, spacious rooms, incredible spa, outdoor and indoor swiming pools with warm water (30 degrees C inside and 35 deg. C inside). The food was amazing. I don't know if that had something to do with the ski world cup they were having or... more
