Hello! I would like to know about tips, as we are going to Turkey with my husband for the first time. Is it necessary to give money? - upon check-in, so that there is a normal room (in the reviews, many write that they did not give it and everything was OK); - for daily cleaning of the room (acquaintances left every day, but someone's hair and a cigarette butt near the bed lay until the end of the holiday); - bartenders, waiters, minibus drivers, etc. In general, to WHOM and HOW MUCH to tip, so as not to spoil your vacation? Thank you all in advance!

We were in Turkey last year. At first, they didn’t know what to give to whom. Now I can advise you: - upon check-in, it is desirable to give 10 c.u. - the number will be much better than the one that you will be offered initially. Still, don’t say anything, but it’s more pleasant to wake up in a room overlooking not a Turkish trash can, but a beach or a pool; -we did not leave for cleaning, although sometimes you can 1 c.u. leave, they will make you a flower or a swan out of towels; - bartend ...

Already often traveled to different hotels in Turkey and Egypt, they always left a tip of $ 1-2. But we are going to such a hotel for the first time, we are interested in how much to leave a tip for the luggage that will be brought to the room, how much to leave at the bar, cleaning, or somewhere else so as not to offend the staff. Interested in the amount and where to leave. Share your experience in hotels of this level.

Tipping in Turkey is solely at the discretion of the client, when they really provided a great service. I don’t think that rolling my chumadan to the room is a cool job, I left a tip to the porter only once in my life, but there he really dragged two suitcases on himself about three hundred meters to the house 300 meters, because the path was dirty, he didn’t want suitcases in smear the dirt. In restaurants, if the food is very tasty, 5-15% of the bill. Farther...
Please tell me, in Turkey or Egypt, the norm is to leave a tip in the room, how is it in Greece? the smallest euro banknote is 5 (I think it's a bit too much), but "metal" doesn't seem to be serious?

tipping is essentially a manifestation of gratitude and attention to the service staff, which doesn’t really hit your pocket, so why not?) and someone in your homeland takes all the pennies from the bill for dinner - it’s a matter of principle approach - to leave or not to leave)) ) Farther...
I read a lot about "all inclusive", then they write that you can have dinner, by appointment at the A la Carte restaurant. We were in the Crimea in an all-inclusive hotel, but everything that was except for breakfast, lunch and dinner was called A la Carte, that is, for money. Is it like that in Turkey too?

Katyyy, not really. "a la carte" - from French means "on the menu" (i.e. on the map), and not "by appointment." Farther...

Piligrim44, Duc and I'm a pensioner)))) for a dozen years already)) and ma-a-skvich)))) if 40 rubles is a lot of money, then you have to sit at home, not roam abroad. And no one has canceled the rules of good manners, if you like the service - you leave it for tea, if you don’t like it - you won’t leave ... And then, just last week, I watched how inedible sausages the rogues dragged into the room from breakfast .. But THEY visited the Emirates)))) it was a shame to look at compatriots .. Farther...
We are not rich people, but we want to relax in the ricos. Does the staff differentiate between the rich and the middle class? How to behave with staff?

I agree with Pachok, there is an opportunity to go to one of the decent hotels, great! The mistake of some of our compatriots is that no one - no one - owes anything. This is an axiom. Yes, we pay a lot of money, from our point of view, but many do not think about who got what part of it: - to the air carrier (depends on the distance); - hotel; - to the seller (TO, TA). Sometimes the amount of the hotel is simply ridiculous, spreading it out into days it immediately becomes clear - why am ... Farther...

We also always leave a small chocolate bar and a dollar for the maid, regardless of the quality of cleaning. I don't see anything wrong with that. Leaving a pack of cigarettes for a woman would definitely not be thought of. And the guy (if he doesn’t smoke) will find where to attach this pack, they are all smart there.))) Distributing 5-6 dollars to the right and left is not always financially possible, even if you want to. I'm not making excuses, I just painted a portrait of the average tourist ... Farther...
