Why do Turkish hotel bathrooms often have no shower curtain/partition and flood the floor?

TL;DR

In many Turkish hotels the shower has no partition or curtain, so water floods the entire bathroom floor after use, making it uncomfortable to walk barefoot — this is especially common in standard rooms without a sea view.

What the community said

If you are placed in an accessibility-adapted room where shower water runs across the floor, ask reception for a room change the same day. A guest reports that this can be resolved without an extra charge, so do not agree to pay an upgrade fee for the move.

After showering, the bathroom floor gets so wet and dirty that it's impossible to walk barefoot — water from the shower floods the whole bathroom, making it hard to even step into the tub area.

Not all rooms are the same: some guests stay in standard rooms without a sea view, without a pool, and without the outdoor bathtub feature found in upgraded room categories.

In one room the shower head is mounted in the ceiling with no partition and no curtain — it resembles an accessible/disability-adapted bathroom layout. Water spreads across the whole bathroom, though staff clean and mop up daily.
