I have just come back from a weeks holiday in Bulgaria, staying in this 2 * hotel in the resort of Golden Sands. I was obviously not expecting luxury, due to it being a 2* allocation on arrival deal, but this hotel (If you can call it that) shocked me. We got there at night which didn't help, but it... more

I hated this hotel on sight as a single parent on a limited budget the price i paid was i thought good until we arrived. The first morning after sleeping in a dirty mouldy room we went down to breakfast and discovered mouldy food. My son is only five years old and i found this totally unacceptable. We also discovered... more

After booking a cheap holiday to Bulgaria, golden sands, online, i was slightly worried that we were 2* allocation on arrival, but for the price we paid for 2 weeks - £200 i could hardly expect luxury.

This hotel is the worst place i have ever stayed on holiday. The hotel was dirty, the rooms very small with extremely old furniture, the beds were dirty and there was very little privacy from other people as the balcony was communal. We were promised a pool - there was nothing at all except broken concrete outside. The whole place... more

I am just this minute back through the door of my home back in Scotland and I can honestly say I've never been so glad to get back from a holiday! Even although I am exhausted I feel compelled to write this review to try and explain the utter disgust I have for Balkan Holidays to even contemplate letting ANYONE... more

Date: 09/07/2005. Have just returned home from a weeks holiday at the Hotel Chaika, Golden sands, (Thankfully), this is without doubt the worst hotel i have ever seen, let alone stayed in, its location is too far from the resort centre in the middle of the local woods, from the outside it looks grim, just like a prisoner of war... more
