DOCUMENTS

I have been lead to believe that it is imperative to get a safe in the room for all moneys and documents as they may go missing! Is it that bad??

re: DOCUMENTS

its not that bad but better be safe..
I always take copies with me and the originals are in the safebox.
(thats offcourse for the documents !)
small amounts of cash in my pockets, the rest is somewhere else..

re: DOCUMENTS

i get a safe everywhere - Egypt, Spain, Gran Canaria. No point taking risks. Touch wood nothing happens though!

re: DOCUMENTS

At the Rila, the safes are in reception, it makes sense anywhere to put passports, money etc in a safe. Make sure you get a receipt when you pay for it though as I've heard people say that unless you give in your receipt on the last day, they will charge you again - we never had this problem, but better to be safe than sorry. I think we paid 30l. for the week, but not too sure.

re: DOCUMENTS

Mary, mafia and stuff is a totally diff world then us tourists..
always remember that!
(and everything starting with 'I've heard' is always bad news )

re: DOCUMENTS

When we were in Bulgaria in the summer the Mafia were everywhere. They own most of the hotels in Bulgaria, you can tell they are about from the cars parked outside! Tourists are the ones who are bringing money into their hotels so they are nothing to worry about!

re: DOCUMENTS
