The best gift has always been (regardless of stardom and country) $ or E. Give the bill you think you need - and make it nice.

I agree, Turks love money) Like all people in the world)) But if you don’t want to give money, our chocolate always works wonders. And for what purpose are you going to give a bribe? )) Sometimes, in order to be placed in the room you want, it’s enough to ask him and smile sweetly)
аватар agent_borabora
Less than $20 is perceived as a bribe.
аватар Andrey111
it is enough to ask him and smile sweetly ...., and even if you reinforce the smile with money, this will only enhance the effect.
аватар Andrey111
Less than $20 is perceived as a bribe. ...... and giving more for a three-star hotel seems like overkill to me.
аватар lana_181
Andrey111 maybe it’s like this for you, sometimes it’s enough for me to talk to people correctly. And yet, why give money in a 3 star hotel, if for a room?.
аватар Andrey111
As asked, so we answer.

Why bother with the front desk at all? Is it just for early check in or the best room? In most cases, managers themselves will tell you the amount for these services. If purely humanly - for a three-star hotel and chocolates are enough

"...I read the advice but they are outdated, I think in time, give modern advice.".
Smiled. When it"Lincolns","Hamiltons", "Jacksons" and others like them have become obsolete?! They wrote correctly above: if the view from the window is important when checking into a room, and ROH is in the voucher, then the currency is a universal way to make contact. If you just want to please the receptionist, then chocolates (boxes of chocolates) are enough. And stardom has nothing to do with it. (By the way, no one refuses bottles and cigarettes either). That's interesting, purely out of curiosity: what tips"from the past " are no longer modern?)))
аватар Vika284
To give and make something pleasant is money, preferably US dollars, euros, British pounds and, in extreme cases, Turkish liras are suitable
аватар chernikova3
Our vodka, cigarettes, chocolate, seeds
аватар ollennka
And how did you piss off the receptionist?))))
Give them spa certificates, it's always a win-win.
аватар mindguru
Chocolate, caramels, seeds - these tips do not become outdated, because everyone has children, and they don’t sell chocolate like ours, no matter what they tell you here.
аватар Vika284
There are different chocolates from different countries and other sweets in Turkish shops
You can’t guess with vodka, there are those who don’t drink for religious reasons - such a gift that you have to give to another person
аватар ollennka
With chocolate, too, you can not guess, a person can be on a diet. But from a trip to the spa, few will refuse.
аватар Andrey111
Therefore, if you give a bill $ or Yes - you can guess. For the money you can buy vodka and chocolate, and go to the spa (which a person prefers).
аватар ollennka
Andrey111, I agree.
аватар Vika284
On a trip to the spa
a tourist came to Turkey to give a certificate to a spa, you need to know good spa salons in a given region, city and village. You need to find a spa salon, explain in Turkish that you need a certificate for a gift ... a difficult option
And if there is no SPA in the village, only a salon where they do manicures
Therefore, the best gift and gratitude is money.
аватар Andrey111
Well, I understand, chocolate, sweets, but to give a certificate to the SPA - I hear this for the first time.
аватар ollennka
Google maps, 10 minutes - and the best SPA / hammam in the city was chosen.)))
аватар Andrey111
It's like a tourist checks into a hotel, goes looking for a spa, buys a certificate there and takes it to the reception for a gift. In my opinion, something is too smart here.
аватар Vika284
I know the hotels where I left, but there is not even a mini store around for the next 5-6 km, the tourist has to go to the nearest SPA, buy a certificate and go back
аватар ollennka
Andrey111, Vika284, the gift must be with a soul, so it's not a sin to google and go. Moreover, the purpose of the gift is to appease, apparently, the relationship has already been ruined.
Well, if this is not a gift, but a tip, then there is nothing to be perverted with seeds, let him leave money.
аватар Olgaolga153
Here is about gifts and tips from a girl who worked for several years at the reception desk in a Turkish hotel.

Each time I remembered some Soviet film, where each visitor to the boss's office presented the secretary with a chocolate bar from the buffet of the same institution. And at the end of the day, with a sigh, she scooped out a mound of chocolate from the desktop drawer and handed it over to the barmaid again.
аватар Andrey111
Yes, there is such a film - Gaidai's comedy, called "Dangerous for Life".

This is bad form even in Turkey, even in 3 * ...
аватар iNicole
seeds???!!! after analyzing the comments, I concluded that the seeds are considered a present only by the citizens of Ukraine ... yeah ((
аватар super.mila2905
iNicole, I don’t know how it is in Turkey (they didn’t bring chocolate and seeds to Turkey), but the Egyptians just surprised us the year before last. They are already used to our chocolate, it goes with a bang, we have been carrying chocolate, sweets, and crackers for three years now.
But the fact that our seeds are adored there - they heard for the first time.
And they are not considered a present, but simply a treat. Chocolate is not a present either. Let's just say, a small thank you for the service.
For example, next to the money for cleaning, I always put a couple of chocolates. Bartender $1 + chocolate.
I do not think that at the reception a chocolate bar will be a present.
Money yes, always and everywhere helps to solve all issues. Well, you can leave chocolate or sweets when you fly home, again, as a thank you.

Cigarettes. They love to smoke so much!
When we were driving from the hotel to the airport yesterday, the guide asked, almost tearfully, "If you have money left, any money, even hryvnia, donate to the driver! You can also have cigarettes"
It would be funny if it weren't so sad!
They brought the country with their covid
