Skiing with my family since 2003. Therefore, the base of comparison is correct. I would treat Dovbushanka's assessment in accordance with the approaches of a simplified SWOP analysis.
Positive:
objective -
a. The proximity of the 1st ski lift (5 minutes of Martian stomping in ski boots. Compared to last year's half-hour "road of death" - this is the greatest luxury.
b. Necessary optimal minimalism of the hotel. Somehow the optimum area of ​ ​ ​ ​ the room for "warming up" and sleep. Daily change of trash bag. A detached ski hut. Clean sauna for 50 UAH per hour / person. A neat, albeit pricey, cafe.
subjective -
a. Responsive admin in the person of Lesya.

b. The transcendent natural kindness of the Dovbushanka ski rental employee. About him separately (very ashamed that I forgot his name). Such people are created for service. He always has an open smile on his face. It is a joy for him to communicate, to delve into problems. Somehow help with a word. From a personal point of view, he saw that the seam of my experienced turbos, which I rented to him while skiing, had spread, so he, without further ado and hints, simply took them and picked them up with a good seam so that I would go out in them until the end of the holiday. This is rare these days and I was very impressed and grateful.
Negative -
Objective -
a. Water. Despite the fact that the admin wrote that you shouldn’t drink water. And we used purchased water. tormented by a sleepless night from a high temperature) remains relevant. So, you need to wash dishes, rinse in the shower to wash off sweat, brush your teeth, cook in cafes and restaurants. And here problems cannot be avoided. And this time from our family, I still lost a day on the destruction of E. coli.
And if Kolomoisky invested multimillion-dollar investments in the infrastructure of slopes-lifts-software, then, as for anti-faecal treatment facilities, he decided not to bathe. And this is very sad. Because hotels do not pull on good local cleaning and, as a result, the most modern routes in symbiosis with E. coli, incredible high cost, will create a very specific image. And after the inevitable relaxation of the Shangen, Bukovel will have a very difficult time. And there is less and less time to wash off the fecal-expensive label.
b. More than once in the hearts of the agreed soundproofing. And if my family knows the art of sleeping in any noise situation. For me, total sound transmission, when you make out the words of those who speak from above, and you experience the feeling that you are sleeping near the toilet of a neighbor were funny and dramatic at the same time.
with. And finally, the high cost. The market price is determined by the balance of supply and demand. And as I wrote in p. a. Against the backdrop of the Schengen barrier, Bukavel is not soaring about prices and filling the service component. But we were in foreign ski resorts. And infrastructure factors in the price component are not in favor of Bukovel. In 4 days we spent 70% more than we spent in Predeal and Poiana Brasov in a week. And if it weren't for the borders, then Bukovel, with its cooler slopes, would have lost in the aggregate analysis.
Conclusion:

Poyuzav forums about Dovbushanka, we clearly imagine what we want and where we're going. Therefore, we did not have any tragedy or disappointment. This is a hotel with its clear pluses and quite tolerable minuses, if they correspond to the limit of internal compromise of expectations.
This is a hotel with minimum-optimal standards, sufficient for those who come to ride, and not live in a suite. Waking up, spending a minimum to go to the track. It was this position that we, when calculating, entered into the terms of reference of the search, as the main one.
