Expert reviews about hotels in Bulgaria

Bulgaria - "not abroad" heard such an expression? Believe me, this has long been wrong. If you consider how the four hotel bases in the beach resorts of this hospitable country have changed over the last year, you can accurately note that Bulgaria is not inferior to other areas of summer holidays. - $

Standardize hotels in Bulgaria is not so simple, because every resort has, though not great, but its own peculiarity. And there are many sea resorts in Bulgaria. Many hotels 4 * absolutely correspond to category 5 *. Even at the entrance to these hotels you are surprised, why not 5, this is the same palace, the answer is obvious - taxes all the time reduce the star rating of hotels undeservedly, but for customers it's a plus - the price of the hotel is acceptable and pleases.

Hotels 3 * stars little than remarkable, but absolutely correspond to the price-quality ratio.

Other 3 * hotels are usually a simple economical option, from it one should not expect anything special. Such hotels are best suited for those tourists who need just a place to stay overnight. The same goes for hotels 2 * - this is an economy option "to take a shower and sleep after a disco."

Do not be surprised at this scenario, Bulgaria has long been a place for recreation, where you do not need to save. It is better to pay more and get an excellent service and a full rest.

For families, the resorts of Dune and Elenite, two complexes with 5 *, 4 * and 3 * hotels are an excellent option. The territory is closed, there are water parks, a gently sloping entrance to the sea, a sandy beach. But they must be booked in advance, they are very popular facilities and a return to these resorts is 70%.

When choosing a hotel it is worth taking into account several important things

• what kind of food do customers want (buffet or own cooking)
• with what they most want to combine rest (health, sports, entertainment)
• who rides to rest (couples who prefer quiet rest, walks and solitude); youth (which in the morning sleeps on the beach, and at night lights at the best discotheques of resorts); families with young children (whole resorts with water parks, slides, equipped beaches.)

Hotels in Bulgaria - one of the most inexpensive in Europe. The explanation is simple: all local guests are classified according to the standard system from one to five stars, with most of them having the status of 3 *.

Classification of hotels

Certification of hotels in Bulgaria is mandatory, due to which the quality of service clearly corresponds to the declared stars. The observance of these requirements is monitored by the Ministry of Economy of Bulgaria, it also deals with the classification of the hotel sector and assigns classes to hotels from 3 * and above. Municipalities are authorized to certify only hotels 1-2 *.

Moreover, "stars" in Bulgaria are appropriated not only to hotels, but also to motels, camping sites, rented to apartments - mainly depending on the number and level of services provided.

So for each accommodation option the final threshold of "star" is provided: for example, motels, private hotels and rented apartments in Bulgaria can not have more than three stars. Camping and rural houses, in turn, are estimated within one or two stars.

Accommodation options in Bulgaria is

As in any resort place, in Bulgaria there are two widely spread accommodation options: hotels and the private sector. Most of them are old hotels, so-called. "The legacy of socialism", only recently reconstructed and equipped according to the European pattern.

Some of these hotels in the most popular resort areas of the country have now become the property of large hotel networks, they have acquired modern water parks, excellent "European" personnel and have deserved 4 * -5 * on the facade.

Private hotels and hostels

In the resort areas are also often family hotels and private hostels - cozy and inexpensive. Sometimes they can accommodate no more than 1-2 rooms, but the hospitality of the owners and the comfort of the traditional Bulgarian house will be remembered for a long time.

The quality of accommodation in private boarding houses, as a rule, is not inferior to hotels 1-3 *, but at a price it turns out more profitable. Here you can be offered not only breakfast, but also dinner, at your disposal there can be a kitchen and household appliances.

The price of such accommodation is an average of € 10 per night per person, and in the center of the country, aside from popular resorts - even less. Moreover, bargaining is appropriate.

Campsites

On the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria there are many camping sites - here you can put a tent for an amount of 10 levs (about € 5). However, on so-called wild beaches, fees for staging a tent can be avoided.

Inside the country, camping sites are located in nature reserves. It is fair to say that there are much fewer off the coast, but almost everywhere outside of cities you can put a tent free of charge, without worrying about your peace and security.
