Numa Club Side hotel (Side) was booked at a very cheap price right after a blogger's video — the price jumped sharply within a couple of hours. This blogger's reviews felt sponsored, like most influencer content.

Numa Bey hotel was booked in 2025 on a friend's recommendation and turned out great. However, this blogger's reviews are very surface-level — only positives, no mention of downsides.

A hotel in Kemer marketed as a "sister property" of the Voyage chain hosted two blogger families (one with 150K YouTube subscribers). They weren't paid for the trip — at most got a room upgrade and a beach cabana for 1-2 days.

The Kemer hotel ultimately disappointed badly: bloggers heavily criticized it on Instagram after the trip, and hotel management ignored guests trying to resolve issues on site.
One traveler's logic: if a hotel invites a blogger knowing she might criticize it, that signals confidence in quality. After watching the review, checking real guest reviews showed they were even better than the blogger's description.
