It is still best to arrive in Bulgaria with pre-booked accommodation, as it is often cheaper than booking the same accommodation locally. There have been major developments in the availability of modern, clean and well-run private hotels

throughout the country - in particular popular tourist destinations. Hotels in the major resorts catering to tour operators have also nearly all completed renovation.

In some of Bulgaria’s more rural beauty spots, private accommodation with families is available, which is more basic and usually does not include private bath facilities.
