Visited Romania for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $67/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.
AMA.
Romania — overrated?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.
