Rested with friends (5 adults and 2 teenagers) in the hotel "Legend of the Carpathians" from 12/28/13 to 01/03/14. So, in order:
1. For the entire stay, the room was never cleaned. In this connection, before leaving, there was an irresistible desire to evenly scatter all this garbage around the room, including (forgive me for my French) and used toilet paper.
2. There is no soundproofing in the rooms. You could sneeze on the first floor and say "bless you" on the third. But here we were "lucky", and we got a room on the 3rd floor, at least no one went over their heads.

3. The food in the hotel is disgusting. On the day of arrival, we were lucky to have a bite of the local borscht, and to our general surprise, the borscht turned out to be lean. Imagine: hospitable Ukraine, bacon and... lean borscht. Breakfasts were almost always cold and meager: scrambled eggs from 1 egg or 1 pancake with cottage cheese, cut into 2 parts for completeness. We decided not to experiment anymore, and ate, so to speak, on the side.
4. The complete absence of any service. One refrigerator per floor (well, it's not so scary), one kettle per floor, which cannot be taken to the room, and most importantly, the absence of a closet or shelf in the room, i. e. there is a bedside table and a TV stand and that's it. Where to fold and hang things remains a mystery, and this is in a junior suite at a price of 1000 hryvnia per day. All the attendants walked around with such faces: they say they came in large numbers here, they interfere with work.
5. The apotheosis of everything turned out to be a local attendant, who, despite the agreements and the prepayment received, contrived (apparently for a little more money) and "sold" the agreed time to someone else. True, the prepayment was returned, but the mood was irrevocably spoiled.
In general, for the resort, I can say the following: apparently the time was chosen by us not well, because. there were a lot of people, the slopes were broken by 12 noon, prices in cafes on the mountain on January 1 grew remarkably three times, taxi drivers became so insolent that they landed people almost on the go in order to be in time everywhere. Roads are terrible! We felt sorry for those who arrived in their cars, because. goodbye suspension.
However, there were some wonderful moments as well. This is, of course, magnificent nature and views from the mountains, as well as a cozy homely cafe / restaurant called "Ra" and "Merry Hutsul". There is absolutely amazing fat, dumplings, borscht, uzvar and wonderful drinks "klukovka" and "kolganovka".
For expenses:
Ski pass: 317 hryvnia (if purchased before 9 am) and 396 hryvnia / day if after. True, until December 31, you could find ski passes from locals for 250-280 hryvnia / day.
Rental: skis - 60-70 hryvnia / day (this is without boots, because they had their own), snowboard - 60-100 hryvnia / day (without boots), a helmet is given free of charge. You won't be allowed on any lift without a helmet.

Taxi: to Bukovel (4-4.5 kilometers from our place) 10 UAH/person.
Food: dined on the mountain - the average bill is 80-100 hryvnia / person, dinner - the average bill is 900-1000 hryvnia for our entire company, including alcohol.
Transfer: since we traveled by railway Moscow - Ternopil, the transfer from Ternopil to Bukovel is 900 hryvnia and 1000 hryvnia in the opposite direction.
In general, the summary is as follows: guys, good old and good Europe is better. This was our first and last experience of visiting Bukovel.
