Turtesse Bingo System
Tell me, please, does it make sense to buy tours using the "Bingo" system (a pig in a poke)?
If you buy, for example, Bingo tour 5 *, what is the probability of getting into a terrible hotel?
Thank you!

You can get into any hotel, fives are also different, and on the second line, etc. You must first study the catalog of all the hotels of this category from this operator. Tez Tour has "so-so" fives, and Turtesse has a smaller selection of hotels, respectively, fewer "bad" hotels. My tourists flew through Turtesse and got into a pretty good five. When I was going to fly on Bingo, I immediately excluded the operator Tez Tour, so as not to get into the "not very good" five

Friends flew in September on Turtesse Bingo (albeit to Turkey), after their return, the desire for such experiments disappeared not only from them, but also from everyone to whom they told about the trip. It is very easy to limit the list of hotels where you can be sent via Bingo: in the selection of a tour on the TO website, specify the required star rating and travel time - here is the list of what is not for sale))) Take a closer look at these hotels and understand whether you need it, because everyone has different requirements.

I would not risk it, because. the whole vacation often depends on the hotel ... if you don’t want to spend money and the main thing for you is just an overnight stay in a hotel - try it.

If for the first time, then you can try, because there is nothing to compare with, but if you have already rested, then I would not risk it.

very interesting and revealing collective opinion. It captures the essence correctly. There is no single answer, nothing is guaranteed, the list of options is correctly written in the answer of olena-rv-ua. Therefore, the algorithm can be like this - if you are ready to live in the cheapest five from the list - you can save. If you are critical to the parameters of rest, do not risk it. I will add only one thing - the principle of operation. The operator has no task to accommodate in the cheapest hotel of the selected category. The operator's task is to accommodate in the cheapest room from the redeemed quotas in basic hotels. Those. the hotel will be the base for this operator. And the base hotels are those with which the operator, for certain reasons, works on an ongoing basis. Frankly bad hotels in the base Turtess does not take.

From a practical point of view, everything is written correctly. Now for the moral side. The person who looks at Bingo most likely wants to go to a nice hotel, but can't do it due to lack of money. And choosing "Bingo" he has a chance to get into this good hotel, for little money. Moreover, even the simplest option possible in "Bingo" will be much better at "price-quality" than buying it not according to this system. Those. either way, you win. For example, you have only $1,000 for two. For this money you can only buy 3* or "Bingo" in 5*. Definitely better than Bingo. And if there is an opportunity to pay extra, then of course it is better to pay extra and be guaranteed to get the 5 * that you liked the most. The moral of this story is that "Bingo" is for those who want to squeeze the maximum bucks out of their thing, because. no more.

From a moral point of view:
Last year we went to Desert Rose for $1360.
On the Turtessa website, in the reviews, people write that they went to the same hotel using the Bingo system for $ 528 for two. And in the reviews of the Bingo system, several tourists end up in the same hotel. The question is - why pay more than 2 times more to get into the same hotel? I would like, of course, to go to another year this year .. but given the dollar exchange rate, I don’t really want to go to Egypt for SUCH money. Well, it's not worth it.)

The probability, so to speak, "get" 50/50, as lucky. But if you are unpretentious tourists, and even more so if you are traveling for the first time and the limited budget is the main factor for you, then why not try this option? By and large, sometimes people "get" even when they go to a certain hotel (there is a shortage of places and relocation to another hotel that is not so touted, etc.)

Here's how lucky. And 5s are different. But I think that, in principle, if you can pay less and get into a great hotel, or just get into a normal hotel for the same price, it’s quite acceptable.

about prices, you better contact the travel agency directly to the managers - they will tell you.
Another option is to look at the prices on the websites of tour operators, such as teztour, turtes, karya, coral, anex, etc.

MAYBE OFF THE TOPIC, but note
Stunned!!! I simply didn’t expect such impudence from Natalie Tours :( I traveled with my “favorite” tour operator not for the first time and was in Spain by fortune, everything went according to the right principles, so I decided to fly to Turkey, online at the time of sending there was nothing warning me from the trip it was here and flew with a child of 3. Before that, Natalie's website was carefully looked through, a list of hotels (fives) in Side was compiled with which the operator works, where they sell package tours. DISAPPOINTED because I didn't know this hotel very well!!!
So this hotel is in the studied list of hotels. Apparently Natalie Tours decided to spoil her reputation in the tourist market.
For those wishing to get a good rest in a FIVE-STAR hotel in Justiniano Wish Side 5*, THERE IS NOTHING TO DO!!! If you want to spoil your vacation for yourself and your fellow travelers, then welcome.
And now in order:
the territory is modest
the number of rooms is pretty shabby
furniture corresponds to 3*
free minibar is one bottle!!! Cola and one water!!! for the entire stay
food. Find something to eat even for a vegetarian

service - the staff behaves as if a tourist asked to visit them, but stayed for a year
the beach is dirty
the sea is great

entrance to the sea natural plate overgrown with algae
animation - melancholy
The main tour operators are Pegasus and Coral, Odeon, Mostrevl, and from other operators you can be in this miracle hotel only by fortune.
For example, I ended up in it thanks to Natalie Tours and their SUPER FORTUNA SIDE 5* 5* there were other victims who came just along FORTUNA SIDE 5* THEN I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOT TO CALL THIS ALL IN ONE WORD ........ I I didn’t really win, because I could buy a ticket to this miracle hotel for 10,000 cheaper.
The conclusion is to fly with Tez Tour !!!

smetanka79 Well, this is more of a hotel review. Post it in your reviews. As for Tez, then through Tez Tour you can get to this hotel. No need to ride on roulettes, then you won't get there. By roulette, you paid less for it than you would have bought it specially for free software. So why are you the loser? And the last thing: not everyone likes this hotel.

Turtess-Bingo 3*,4*or5* - swindle!!! If you have chosen Bingo-4, know that you will be accommodated in the worst hotel (three with another star purchased) and Turtess will not pay extra for you. Depending on the availability of rooms in different hotels, Bingo will take you to the cheapest / worst hotel, because. unbooked places in good hotels are rare, and if there are, they are sold as "hot" by separate SPOs. If you want to save money on vacation, do not take expensive excursions and souvenirs, but save 200-300 USD. choose a good hotel. As an example: everyone who flew on Bingo-4 (Zaporozhye-Hurghada) on 04/19/10 was brought to the Elysees hotel. This is a mini-hotel in the city center, with small. swimming pools, a mini-holchik, a sovdep.dining room (they managed to feed a gloomy dinner). Fortunately, it was not possible to evaluate all the "charms" of this hotel - there were no places in this hotel and we were moved to the Grand Plaza Resort (4 *) The next day, the question of resettling back to Elysees arose again. The issue was resolved only after a conversation with Gen.
director. It is expensive and bad, but cheap and good - it does not happen. Therefore, Bingo is cheap and bad. Take the choice of a hotel seriously, so that the whole rest does not curse turtesses for divorce and yourself for naivety)))

Went to Turkey Bingo 4 * with turtes.
And this is white piz..ts
We lived in a hotel where all 300 people were for Bingo! That is, the scheme of the scam is as follows: Turtes bought 3 * or 2 * seats from the settling hotel, and sends to them those who "won " this hotel in Bingo!
Divorce is specific, there is no raffle of hotels !!

How lucky. The year before last, Turtess and I ended up in Justiniano Club Varuna by Bingo. The hotel is just superrr! True, after it it’s hard to find at least something similar. the beginning of July again on Bingo fly. True, this year the prices are not a fountain. We (2 + 1) are in the top five in All for a week at least 1500. And I was hoping that at least somehow the crisis would work into the hand.

We were in Sharm in November on Bingo 4. We went for 12 nights for two for $ 1070 and settled in the Gardenia Plaza Hotel. It is quite far from the sea and at first we were upset. BUT! after a couple of days we realized the beauty of Bingo. Each hotel has its own beach with a bar and palm trees. From our beach, 500 meters away was the Ras Muhamed reserve, where we actually went to swim! You could even swim all day with a mask and snorkel. There were no corals on the beach from the hotel and the children could swim safely. But there was a pool on the beach, although I did not understand why it was needed. The hotel is very large and we managed to get acquainted with the guys of our age with whom we went on all the excursions and walked around the city. We were given a room with a kitchen, two rooms, two TVs and a huge bathroom. This was more than enough! They fed very well, a lot and often!
and one more plus, after excursions we were always brought to our hotel first and the last were taken away, and it was always possible to leave by taxi very cheaply. And there was a free bus to the beach. 20 minutes and you are on the beach.
Here's the bottom line: For the Bingo 4 trip, we paid 1070 for two for 12 nights. Got a chic room and all inclusive, If you find cheaper, call me, I want to go there!
