TL;DR
Report the issue immediately to the realtor or hotel reception and ask for a room change or urgent fix. In real cases in Turkey, travelers were temporarily relocated, bedbug treatment was scheduled for 2–3 rounds, and hotel maintenance issues were sometimes resolved within an hour.
If the accommodation turns out to be problematic, the first practical solution is often a move to another building or room. In one case, a room in the main building was available only with an extra charge of 23k, so the guests temporarily stayed where they were.
For hotels and serviced apartments, it makes sense to call reception immediately even late at night. In one case, a dirty floor and a locked safe were fixed within about an hour, even though the complaint came around 11 pm.
If bedbugs are found in an apartment, the realtor may arrange temporary relocation and schedule multiple pest-control visits. In the reported case, the original apartment was set for 2–3 treatment rounds.
A temporary replacement apartment is not always a good solution, so it is worth checking smell, cleanliness, and furniture condition right away. In one case, the substitute flat was heavily smoky and also unsuitable for comfortable living.
