Tipping in Bucharest
score:7
Good to hear you like Romania so far, my suggestion is you visit more of the west part, Transilvania (Sibiu, Brasov, Sighisoara or Cluj) than Bucharest.
I don't think you should feel obliged to tip at all. Romania in not a third world country although it is the second poorest in the EU. Tipping in hotels, I do not know about, as a Romanian. Do the same you would do in other European countries.
In restaurants, tips are not included in the bill so most people leave between 5-10% of the order. You can leave 3-5 lei for a small meal or 10 for a bigger one for two, that was let's say 120 lei. Tips are optional so if you did not like the service or the meal, no need to leave any.
Taxi drivers usually expect a few lei as a tip too. About 3-7 lei, on average, no need to leave more than that, in my view, and be sure they keep the meter on and don't try to trick you into paying a fixed price, like some do to foreigners.
About that free tour, it might be that they made all their money by tips, a leave what you want kind of thing. It's not common in Romania for the to upsell other tours and give you one for free. Your good review and feedback on your trip will grow Romanian tourism in general, it is still an unknown place for most westerners.
Tipping in other parts of Romania, tipping is more or less the same, but people tend to tip less.
Hope you have a great time for the rest of your stay. I'm curious where you're from, if you don't mind me asking.
