Please share your accommodation experience. We booked through the islet.

That is, you are already sure before settling that you will be given a bad number? What prevented you from booking this "better room"?

If you booked a room of a certain degree of comfort, for example, Family Room, Suite, Standart, etc., then you should be provided with it. If you have ROH, i.e. check-in to any free room without determining specific characteristics, then you can first go into the room, see how it suits you. If something does not suit you (the view from the window is too noisy ...), then you can try to negotiate at the reception to change the room and pay extra for a more comfortable one. We always do this. We can put money only if we have an early check-in and don't want to wait until 14-00. Usually they go along. Although, if there are free rooms, they usually check in themselves without waiting for two hours.

I don’t understand at all why they give some kind of bribe for the already selected and paid category of the room. I have already paid for the room, if there is something wrong in it, I go and change it, I never needed additional payments.

I never give money. I noticed that mostly Russians and Ukrainians indulge in this, and even without even seeing what kind of number you are being offered.
This was the last time in Egypt. I got my number in the main building, next to a couple, putting money down, got a room in a bungalow far from the sea. So, instead of money, try to smile, win over yourself, say "Pliz", which means please. favored you by visiting your hotel!", can turn around the other way!
And the check-in experience is simple - go to the reception, put a voucher for check-in, your passports, they check you in, in good hotels the fight grabs your luggage, carries (lucky, drags, etc.) to the room, opens the room or you, if the key is You, you are in the room. It seems everything. That's how it was with me in Europe, in Asia the fight begs for tips. It's up to you.
Next, check the room, everything is normal, check in, if not, download rights at the reception (repair the shortcomings or change the number). At least there is a reason to change the number even without money!

In any case, even before arriving at the hotel, to be sure that they will give a bad room there is somehow abnormal.

ollennka! But you didn’t pay attention, who constantly asks about money when checking in, from which countries? Europeans do not do this, although I knew one German who popped oyro (i.e. euro) everywhere without receiving a service. But he is also from the former Soviet Union! For the service rendered to you, yes, give a tip, in a restaurant and on cruises, tips are included in the bill, but it is not known in advance and for what.

Well, in fairness, the forum is Russian-speaking, foreigners, with all their desire, will not be able to share their experience of settling here))).

Do you think that I can not confirm that they do not shove bribes to anyone and for nothing? I must see! And I'm in Europe! And I see what the citizens of the former Union are doing! It is believed that without a bribe (money, as it is written here) they will not get anything good!
As an example, he cited that without money he got a better room in Sharm than for money, a neighbor at the reception.

I'm talking about foreigners who do not speak Russian. It would be interesting to know if they give money before checking into a hotel.

Checked. It turns out it's coming.
Temki type
Slipping the receptionist money for a room upgrade?
When checking into a hotel in Las Vegas, is it wise to slip the clerk $20 and say "I'd appreciate anything you can do to help make sure my stay goes well"?
quite a discussion on the Internet.

on several topics on the Internet, one can conclude that there is a topic, but one cannot draw conclusions about its mass character. I can’t imagine what to give 20 dollars for in Las Vegas))) From the point of view of an ordinary tourist, this is some kind of wildness. Unless they are going to smoke in the room and want to turn a blind eye to it.

I can once again confirm that before checking into a hotel, former citizens of the USSR are trying to give money at the reception. They think that they are given the worst numbers and without a bribe there will be no good.
Let's not talk about topics on the Internet, but about who saw it. If you saw it, please write - you saw it. The rest is nonsense! I saw tips received for services, but ... for a service rendered!

Topics on the Internet, in my opinion, are not the answer of an experienced tourist. We provide answers based on our own experience.

And yet, once the conversation turned to Las Vegas, USA. I was not specifically in it, but I was on cruises on American ships and talked with Americans. By the way, cruise ships usually have casinos.
So, it’s customary for Americans to include a tip in the bill, and what’s more, it’s for special services (he built 2 swans instead of one on the bed!) And it’s not particularly welcome there.

Specifically, from my own experience, I can say from the Germans on a beach holiday - the Germans do not give money in principle, because. believe that they have already paid and should get what they paid for. But there is a category of Germans who are trying to poke money everywhere - former scoops. These both left in the 90s, and froze and continue to live in the 90s - they believe that in order to get something, you need to "grease", otherwise they will be "paired" with something worse))) This category is even in Truskavets (which they are popular) manages to poke money to everyone. And I even watched how such a "German" gave "tip" 2 euros to the driver of an intercity minibus)) The driver scratched his turnip and did not know what to do with this coin))
It seems to me that the "scoops", who have not adapted to life "there", feel like third-class people and their passion for shoving money into everyone and everything is a desire to show (first of all to themselves) that their life is a success and they are people "from another world".

I have been living in Europe for a long time and I am well acquainted with the hotel theme from the inside. There are no bribes in hotels, but there are tips. Everyone loves to get a tip, and in the US, tips are valued more than anywhere else in the world. At additional requests to the hotel staff, it is customary to give a tip. If you want to change rooms just because "the color of the table lamp is not so muted", then this "problem" is solved by tipping. no one will satisfy your whim for free.

You're right! "Tips are customary for additional requests to the hotel staff." For additional services, and not just like that, for the room, at the discretion of the administrator! They give "money" without even seeing the number (repeated witness!) And they get the same with those who did not pay. Yes, "no one will satisfy your whim for free," but if this is not a whim, namely fair claims, and for free and with apologies!
