Staff were very friendly and helpful within the shop and reception area, however had some issues with the organisation of equipment distribution.
One day items of our hire were missing when the staff placed them into the mini bus taking us to the end of the gondola (queues were awful ) driver drove off and we was stuck without skis or poles for two kids.
The first day the instructor went off with the younger kids lift passes once lessons had finished.
Another day the instructor was vomiting out of the gondola in front of our kids.
He also stopped to urinate in trees in front of them (one being a 14 year old girl)
He was constantly on his phone and didn’t progress the more advanced learners.
As a company I would have thought that with such a an age range within our group maybe the quicker learners would have been taught by a different instructor. They never progressed from the nursery slope (travelator one) except for the last day when he took them on the country run (what we had taken them on 2 days previous. They never done a drag/button lift as queues were too long apparently and never were taught how to turn. We did this.
Total waste of money with these guys lessons wise !!

Welcoming, friendly, very flexible arranging and replacing our rental gear (boots uncomfortable). Also very kindly allowed my wife and I to store our own kit overnight, making it much easier on tired legs. Excellent location just across the car park from the Gondola

Snow Peaks is the best ski and snowboard rental place in Bansko. Very conveniently located close to the Gondola lift. Their friendly and efficient staff provided us with excellent new equipment at a very reasonable price. It made skiing fun!

Booked an ATV tour with Snow Peaks whilst in Bansko for a week. Our guide Rodean was a lovely, friendly English speaking guy. As was the girl in the shop when booking the tour. After a few minutes instruction with our guide we were on our way. Gotta say myself and my wife had so much fun.
Great price, great time and a perfect end to our holiday. Many thanks to Snow Peaks for making this happen.
Check this place out you really won’t regret it....

I use the ski service many years. Before my vacation in Italy, give the ski for a service. Totally disappointed, I all most didn’t kill my self. Firstly, brand new skis looked like five season old skis and secondly you couldn't do the fva turn like people. Do not go there at all! Save your health and then your money!

Do not rent from here, all of their equipment is very old, they give you weak boards or ski and they hope for it to break so they can get more money from you, this can also be seriously dangerous, not polite at all worst people i ever met in bansko, there are so many better places dont go here

Yani is a former ski competitor from the National team and he makes really amazing things with his skis on. Most important is he is now even better as an instructor and I had a lovely progress. I was always safety on the slope thanks to him. All the staff in the ski school were very kind and helpful and take care for my ski equipment.
Thank you boys for helping me improve my skiing so much! I'd really enjoyed it!

Bad quality equipment, very old ones. The service is really bad, the shop assistants can't speak English very well, so they can't help you, but they also don't really care, they can't even smile at customers.
There are way better rental places with helpful and English speaker employees in the city, wouldn't recommend this place at all.
