It depends on how much time you spend in the room and how reliably the view is delivered. A premium is easier to justify for a short stay built around the outlook than for a trip where the room is only used for sleeping. Comparing the view category against the standard room rate at the same property shows what the outlook itself is priced at.
Listing images are often shot from the best available angle, an upper floor, or a public terrace rather than a typical room. Guest photos, floor and orientation details in the room description, and satellite or street-level maps of the surroundings give a more reliable picture. Confirming the specific room category and floor at booking reduces the gap between the photo and the room assigned.
A balcony is a projecting platform off the room, usually narrow and holding little more than a chair or two. A terrace is a larger flat outdoor area, often at ground level or on a setback floor, with room for seating and a table. The labels are used loosely in listings, so measurements and photos matter more than the word itself.
