You can leave nothing at all, first see how they are removed. Usually they leave money, 1-2 leva. If you want to give a chocolate bar, it’s better to hand it in, otherwise they won’t understand. For some reason, it’s also customary to pay guides after the tour, this is unusual for us. We usually give 5 leva for two at the exit. Bulgarians are very surprised that this is not customary in our country. And, here, in a restaurant it is customary for us, but they simply round up to the whole leva and that's it. But we tip and the waiters are very happy.

Usually they leave money if you liked the cleaning of the room. I agree with Hola they will take a chocolate bar only if you hand it over yourself. We even had to tip levs in our hands, left on the bed, and even more so, they were not taken on the table)))
In Europe, the practice of tipping for excursions and cleaning is very common, but not in Russia. Many consider paid for room and board and owe nothing more. Of course, if you didn’t like the service or the tour, then you don’t need to pay, but if you liked everything, I think it’s better to thank))))

Still, it's better to leave the left. The maids have very small salaries and somewhere they expect gratitude. It all depends on the star rating of the hotel. We had this in Martinez: 10 leva for the porter boy, upon arrival and departure, 5 leva for the maid daily. I brought a box of sweets once, it was for the maid (she has two children) and we had 4 years in a row and suffered. All the time I thought that the sweets would melt. In short, I'm for the money.

But I agree with Poola that it is necessary to give if you like the quality of cleaning. I like our Russian is the name of the maid, I really liked it. She even "scolded" me for always washing dishes after room service and morning coffee.

Better money. And if you leave sweets, it will look more like forgotten products, and not like gratitude for their work.

Were in different hotels on the sea in different years. They left 1-2-5 leva every day on the bed so that it was visible. 1-2 days the maids did not take anything, we still left. Then everything was OK, smiles at the meeting, additional brushes and other little things (on request), once they even brought an ownerless air mattress. Products are not taken!

I, too, at the hotel all the time left a couple of lions on the bed for the maid (by the way, constantly folded by hand), I didn’t see any improvement in terms of cleaning, but there was a side effect - the cleaning aunt, seeing me, rushed to me with hugs all the time yes I also tried to kiss her! :))) I started to dive straight from her, as I notice in the corridor, I hide around the corner. Seriously!
These are the Bulgarians - warm-hearted people! :))))
