    There was enough to see at the monastary, even though most museums there seemed no to be open (it was February!). Entrance is free but be ready to pay 5 levs for parking (you do get all day for that). The area has dramatic scenery with some other things to see other than just the Monastary. We visited the grave of James Baucher and discovered why Sofia has a station named after this Irishman!

    We take all our foreign guests to visit the Monastery.

    We take all our foreign guests to visit the Monastery. It is iconic. The parking cost 5 Leva, but there is no entry fee to the Monastery. The two museums in the monastery require an entry fee, but are worth the price. Make sure that you see the clock tower bells that ring on the hour. Behind the Monastery is a little fast food place that sells a Bulgarian treat called "makitsa", it costs 1 Lev and even the Bulgarians will tell you that is the best "makitsa" in the country.

    In the warmer months,go early, as in be there by 10AM.

    In the warmer months,go early, as in be there by 10AM. Afterwards it gets very crowded by Noon. Avoid the weekends and holidays if possible. There is a 5LV parking fee. Admission is free to the church-no photos inside. There are 4 museums each with a 4 LV charge. The exterior murals are from the late 19th C. The main beauty is the exterior of the church and it's grounds. The back entrance and parking area is heavily commercialized, however there is a stand there making fresh hot donuts. They are as close to heaven as you'll get!

    Check the Internet for Rila monastry.

    Check the Internet for Rila monastry. They do have an excellent website. It is worth the visit. Mind that it is a 30 min drive from the interstate each way. Accomodation quality seems questionable in the area. at least my negative experience with Gorski Kut was horrible.

    The tour of the monastery was fantastic.

    The tour of the monastery was fantastic. Because we stayed right next to the monastery we were there early do got an individual tour of the ethnography rooms and icon room. Place is a lovely visit anyway but seeing it without the crowds is fantastic. (Go early or stay late!)

    Rila Monastery is one of the Icons of the region!

    Rila Monastery is one of the Icons of the region! It contains everything: culture, history, nature, religion - you name it! Unfortunatelly for the surrounding structures - some of them are not maintained very well which need to be improved (this is valid for the roads too). However the region is with Must Visit state for me.

    A lovely hotel in the Rila mountains. Beautiful grounds, we enjoyed a delicious dinner in the garden. In the cool of the morning we had a tasty, and ample, breakfast served to us in the charming dining room. Wonderful proprietor, Villy, has a calm demeanor, and professional but low key operation. Spotless rooms and grounds. We wished we had planned to stay for longer.

    We stayed at Rilets Resort & Spa for a chilling weekend with my husband. We very liked the location. The hotel is located in the hidden area, in the forest, with a great mountain view, in a walking distance there are a lot of nice hiking trails and an amazing Rilla Monastery. Hotel also has enough parking slots.

    A plesant, quiet and cosy small hotel and restaurant located close to Rilski Manastir. The friendly staff serves excellent trout in their restaurant. A perfect place to use as a base to explore the monastry and its surrounding mountains and return in the afternoon for a glass of wine and excellent trout fish.

    The location is perfect for visiting Rila monastery. Hosts were welcoming and friendly, although there are no refrigerator in the room, they allowed us to keep our food in their refrigerator. Sound of nearby stream/river by an open window during summer night was wonderful.

    The too less personal has given all their best to make the time as comfortable as they can. My greatest respect for. The location of the Hotel is super. The Design of the Hotel is nice even you can see around at the structure missing or incomplete parts.

    The location. The hotel is located in a place where it could be a hut made of planks and people would still want to come there. It is conveniently located within walking distance of Rila Monastery. That was the only good thing.
