I am also asking this question. Asked here, I was blown to smithereens. I think that in Egypt 20 ye in the passport will do their job. We then go to Europe, it is not accepted there. But first, see what they give, maybe you will like everything. We gave in Turkey because we arrived early, they immediately prepared a room for us within an hour and with a good view! So it also depends on when you arrive, if it’s early then it makes sense to immediately put money in. It's my opinion

By the way, a friend flew with me then, she didn’t offer anything, she sat until dinner and waited, and we were already at the hotel at 8 in the morning. And then when we left, they extended the room for us, because the check-out was late, but she didn’t, they hurt her. They remembered her. Before settling, she shook her rights there, that the number was not given for a long time. Like this!

First of all, first look at the room that they offer you. You have every right to do it. ,Sometimes it happens. Very often the number you pay for will be virtually the same as the number you can get. So is there any point in paying?

In Egypt and Turkey they always take it. I have never seen that they would refuse, but I saw that you happen when they think that they are already obliged to them.

We flew to Safaga, before departure I googled the cost of a bungalow and how people negotiate. As a result, $20 and a box of chocolates "Ukraine" did their job.

"I have not seen that they refused" does not mean "they always take it." Naturally, if you poke a crumpled twenty for what is given for free, who will refuse.

baksheesh (tipping) is common in Egypt and solves many issues, so I use 10-20 dollars when checking in at the hotel reception, and the number has never been let down. Depending on the degree of occupancy and the rating of the hotel - in some cases it can be a little more expensive. And in Egypt, this is not considered a bribe) Small incentive amounts to the hotel staff - you will be cleaned on time, clean towels, flowers in the room, courtesy and compliments.
So integrity in the fight against corruption in Egypt is inappropriate, they fight it there, cherish and love it))

Completely agree with you! Crumpled twenties do not need to poke! It is necessary to culturally invest it in the passport, and preferably not wrinkled!

In Egypt, at the Jungle Park Hotel, I gave a friend at the reception desk 20 American rubles, so he slipped me a plan of the hotel, and there were only bungalows and asked, Where? I already at home studied everything on the Internet and knew where. As a result, the family bungalow is for five people, and there are three of us, and the difference when buying in Latvia is more than 1000 euros. Gentlemen, do not be stingy, and you will be happy

Yes, by the way, all these chocolates of yours, such as Alenka, Ukrainka, all this is bullshit. I myself saw how the Arabs, taking them with a smile, then with contempt and an Arab obscenity, threw them into the trash. There is nothing better than "fragrant", crunchy American rubles, or, well, euros, whichever you prefer. And about the fact that they refuse bribes, it happens, he gave and did not take. It’s just that at that moment there is nothing to offer, the hotel is crowded, so it doesn’t take it, so that later you don’t get problems yourself

Whatever they take is of course a rarity, usually they always have good rooms in their stash. Why you don’t need chocolates, you can, but always with money

But I don’t give baksheesh, and I have never lived in a bad room either in Egypt or in Turkey.
I saw how a tourist got a room for money, worse than mine. I also saw how at the airport in both Hurghada and Sharma people paid for immigration cards, which they should receive for free. So, those issues that you have to solve for money can be solved without "money".

I remembered how, on a tribal website, one especially gifted ball-entertainer taught for a long, tedious time how the Egyptians can be made happy with just one smile and get love for this treasure. And when the people fell into a massive stupor, he finished off with a control shot that he didn’t leave a tip at home. Why am I not surprised in this particular case?
PS. baksheesh can range from 5 to 50 dollars depending on the level of the hotel and requirements. I immediately give a passport with a bookmark and the standard wording "Up to you". As a rule, it works clearly ... but if something is not to my liking, I start twisting my arms ... they offer options to the victorious and without a single groan. Our TOs sell the most junk standards, and non-standards like sea-view and even "non-wall-view" have a completely different price ... and therefore either to the cashier or to the paw. During the crisis, the hotels were empty, the paws were bald .... now ten ye with a head (if you don’t aim at a family or a suite)

-----------
although I upvoted you, but I will object. Such a rule can work in Europe, but in Europe there are always standards for the people and for the elite ... this is how they build, this is how they earn
But you are right that in the current stagnation you can get a good number for nothing...but certainly not the best one...they simply won't show it to you

Do you think it works in Europe? In my opinion, they have everything clearly according to the price list - 10-15 euros per day, and the room will be improved.

We booked a room in Europe, or rather in Spain, but unfortunately it is not clear what it will be, except for the standard, and they are also different. Subtracted in the reviews that for the improvement surcharge of 15 euros per day. If you don't like the one they give you, you'll have to fork out.

if the hotel has all sea view rooms ... or the hotel is new ... or there is only one building ... or only the first floor ... or standards under the ruler ... or the hotel is not in egy ... or some other or, but I don’t remember this in 20 years of egi raids. True, comfort-view is important to me, and some quoting "what's the difference where to sleep"
By the way, in the 90s the magic twenty worked already ... that's where inflation is zero

write to the hotel, even if using a google translator, they will sort it out. Ask for a good number referring to at least asthma. You need to pay extra only for the category above, there should be good rooms in your category. Don't get upset ahead of time

Thank you for your support, many write there referring to all sorts of respectful reasons, and they culturally answer everyone that they cannot guarantee anything. Therefore, they are already morally ready to pay extra, because it does not matter where to sleep. I want a good view, it would be nice to sit on the balcony, and not look into the neighbors' windows.

once they answer, it's good. Upon arrival, remind about yourself, they will take note. If they do not immediately give a good number, then as soon as it becomes free ... you will be immediately notified. And write in any case nnada (c)

Yes, there everyone who is not too lazy to write, it is clear that they answer for excuses, out of politeness. Let's see what they offer and we'll decide as we go. Not that much extra for comfort. All the same, 2 weeks to live there.

Only our people, when booking an economy room marked ROH or land view, then wonder why they don't get honeymoon suites with Jacuzzi. Book the appropriate room category right away, and you won't have to humiliate yourself and the staff with bribes in your passports.

"Only our people", performing something regularly, criticize others for similar things. The bourgeois save worse than ours ... but they don’t idolize the ball - life according to the law does not force you to flutter. And our life teaches us to squeeze the maximum out of the situation, since the lion's share has been commuted from you. And also "our man" gets into other people's affairs without asking, without even delving into ... simply because he needs everything (c)
