Rilski ezera chalet: One-star hotel
We didn't stay there, just had lunch on the benches outside, and had coffee and soda from the little cafe in the back (and used the bathroom to wash with hot water after washing with ice cold water for two days :) )
This is another base for the Seven Rila Lakes area. Actually, it's right above the lowest lake of the group. There is a cafe, restaurant (don't expect too much), and some of the rooms have individual bathrooms. There are postcards and maps sold in the lobby. The booth also keeps the stamp for the '100 National Tourist Sites' booklet.
Beside the hut there are horses/mules and jeeps. The horses can transport you to the other side of the lakes (Bubreka lake). We didn't try that, but heard that it was 20 lv per person. By jeep you can get down to civilization, althouth I heard that it's illegal for motor vehicles to offer transportation, as the hut is within the boundaries of Rila National Park...

Skakavitsa chalet: No 5-star hotels..
Skakavitsa is the oldest tourist chalet in Bulgaria, built in 1922. Nowadays, it consists of two buildings. We stayed at the smaller one. Don't expect any luxury - there are no showers, no hotwater, just very cold running water. It doesn't look too clean either. They provide bedding, but it's a good idea to bring an extra sheet to use under the naked blankets.
We stayed in a 5-bed room. The first night, it was full, the other one we were alone. In July and August, reservations (especially in the weekends) are advisable.
Price: 10 lv (appr. 5 euro) per person per night.
There is a 'restaurant' downstairs where they offer beans soup, barbeque, salads, breakfast, coffee, beer, coke, etc. You can also bring your own food and eat there.
The conditions are quite poor but the man who runs the hut is quite nice. On the way down he even gave us a lift to Sapareva Banya.

Abandoned house: Use your imagination!
See the intruction page on Rila. We had no other choice than stay in the abandoned house. It gave us shelter during the rain and thunder and certainly was different kind of an experience. It was next to a sand pit and we joked between us that somebody could kill us and bury in the sand and nobody would ever know what happened to us, because nobody knew that we decided to visit Rila!

Zaslon "Ledeno ezero" - "Cover" 'Icy lake': Preferably!
This "cover" has 30 beds, where you can spend the night just 200 m under Musala peak. The thing is, everyone sleeps in one big room, and the check-out has to be before 8 am in the morning. Weekends and holidays the accomodation is available by reservations, because there are many people staying!
The ordinary covers in Bulgaria are simple small huts, where you have to help yourself for everything, because there isn't anyone. This one has permanent crew, there are foods and drinks, heat and electricity.
- Opinion of Price: about average

The cover is right next to the Icy lake.
