Tipping is a regular occurrence in Bulgaria in appreciation of good service and is more common in the larger resorts, such as Varna. Staff get paid minimum wage in bars and restaurants so they rely on tips to make up the rest of their salary. Service charge is not usually included in the bill.
A 10% tip is acceptable for good service and more if it is excellent service. It is rude not to tip. Even if you received bad service the tip should not be less than 5% as the waiter / waitress relies on the tips.
Tipping in a taxi is common but less generous than restaurants; it is acceptable to tip 10% of the fare or more if they help carry bags etc. Tipping hotel staff and staff in the tourism industry i.e. travel guides/a rep, is acceptable, as their wages are low and they live off the tips which subsidise their pay.
Do not give small change as this is seen as an insult.
