Work with PARELO

Families from the Gulf buy their Istanbul hotel, car, meals and services from PARELO at one written price. Register your business once. Families find you in their own language, with verified details, and requests reach you in writing.

Why PARELO?

No commission, free registration

Listing and review are free. PARELO takes no commission.

You set your prices

You enter your prices in TL, VAT included. There is no price-parity clause; you set your prices on other channels freely. For package services, the net rate is agreed with you in writing.

Presented to Gulf families in their language

Your business is shown in Arabic, English and Turkish. We write the texts; you approve them before they go live.

Written requests

Every request comes in writing with a code, date, time, party size and selection. Every order is on record.

Your capacity

Opening hours, closed days and capacity are yours to set. If a request doesn't suit you, you can decline it with a reason.

Verified details only

Labels such as "no alcohol served" or halal appear only once your document is approved.

For hotels

Gulf families for your hotel, with PARELO

PARELO offers families from the Gulf a single Istanbul package: accommodation, transfers and a day-by-day programme. Families arrive with a plan; arrival time, room set-up and children's ages are known at booking.

Paid on the check-in day

The accommodation is paid on the guest's check-in day, by bank transfer against the invoice you issue to PARELO.

Your net rate stays private

Families see only the package total. Your rate is never disclosed to guests, agents or third parties. There is no price-parity clause.

No allotment

You block no rooms. Every booking follows your availability and is final only with your written confirmation.

Complete bookings

Each request states dates, room type, number of guests, children's ages, cot needs and the guest's name.

We handle the Arabic

Our team manages pre-arrival questions, transfers and the programme with the family.

Only what you tell us

Details such as family rooms, connecting rooms or women-only pool hours are written only from the information you give in the form.

The form asks for your Ministry licence, your room types and nightly rates; if you don't have time to fill it in, we fill it in with you over the phone. Documents are uploaded through the form only.

Have ready

  • tax certificate
  • tourism operation licence or simple accommodation licence
  • your room types and nightly rates (including extra bed)
  • your own hotel and room photos, without faces or alcohol

Properties without a Ministry licence are not listed. Documents are uploaded to the form only; they are not sent by e-mail.

FAQ

When do I get paid?

PARELO takes no commission; it pays your net rate by bank transfer against the invoice you issue to PARELO. The payment date is set in the written agreement made with you. Invoices go to fatura@parelo.net.

Am I tied in?

No. There is no allotment or exclusivity. Whenever you ask, your listing is removed within 7 days; bookings already confirmed are still honoured.

Will families see my contact details?

No. Families buy from PARELO; your phone, e-mail, website and social media are not shown. For restaurants, hotels and activities, only the venue name and district are shown; the full address appears only in the confirmed trip plan. For services such as cars, hair or photography, the business name is not shown either; the service is offered under the PARELO name. Where the law requires it (the rental company in self-drive rentals, the carrier for chauffeured cars, the guide's name), only the trade name and required details are written in the booking confirmation, for that family only.

Who uses my photos?

PARELO uses them in the app, on parelo.net and in the offer sent to the family. Social media and advertising only with your separate consent. You can have your listing and photos removed at any time.

How do I send documents, and where are they kept?

Documents are uploaded through the application form only and stored on our servers in Turkey, visible only to our review team. Please do not send documents by e-mail; our e-mail address is for questions only.

Can I decline a request?

Yes. If you are full or the request doesn't suit you, you decline it with a reason, and our team offers the family an alternative.

I don't have time to fill in the form.

Call us or send us your question. Our team fills in the form with you over the phone, and you upload the documents to the form yourself.

Booking terms

Booking

Bookings are made through a written offer we send by WhatsApp or email, which you confirm in writing. It states the final price, the area of your stay and the cancellation terms.

Prices

Prices are shown in US dollars and include taxes; the official price in Turkish lira (VAT included) is written next to each price, and other currencies are for information at the 22.10.2026 rate. Prices on the site start from the price for 2 adults and 2 children, 3 nights, and come from the same price table as the PARELO app, which calculates the exact price for every family.

Payment

No payment before you arrive: half at hotel check-in, the rest one day before you leave. By bank transfer, card or cash, the same price for all three (we pay the bank transfer fee), with an invoice for every payment.

Cancellation

No payment before you arrive. Free cancellation up to 30 days before arrival. After that we only charge documented, non-refundable costs, capped at a share of the total: 25% (29–15 days before arrival), 50% (14–8 days), 75% (7–1 days) and 100% on the day of arrival or for a no-show. Cancel in writing by WhatsApp or e-mail. To book we only need your full name and WhatsApp number; passports are shown at the hotel on check-in. We ask for your flight number to meet you, and we reconfirm with you one day before arrival.

Changes

You can change each day's plan every evening from the available options. If a place closes or changes for reasons beyond our control, we offer a comparable alternative.

Guest responsibilities

Passports, visas and flight tickets are the guests' responsibility.

Privacy and data protection

Who we are

Your data controller is PARELO Turizm Teknoloji Sanayi Ticaret Ltd. Şti., Esenler, Istanbul, Türkiye.

What we collect

Only what you send us: name, phone number, travel dates, family size, children's ages and your flight number. We do not keep passport details in our booking system; only the passport number is written on the invoice, as the law requires for foreign guests.

Why

To prepare your offer, make your bookings, stay in touch during your trip, and meet legal duties such as invoicing. Legal basis: entering into and performing a contract (KVKK Art. 5/2-c) and legal obligations (Art. 5/2-ç); no consent is needed for this.

Who we share it with

Only those who serve you: the hotel, your driver and the restaurants booked, and only what they need. We never sell your data or use it for advertising.

How long

Requests that do not become a booking are deleted after 6 months. Booking and invoice records are kept for the period required by Turkish law, then deleted.

The app (app.parelo.net): technical records

The app files are delivered through Cloudflare Pages. When you open the app, your IP address, browser and device type, the time of access and the Cloudflare data centre (edge) that answers you are processed briefly on Cloudflare servers outside Türkiye (including the USA), to deliver the content and protect against attacks (Art. 5(2)(f)). Your request, account and contract details do not pass through Cloudflare; they go directly to our server in Türkiye, which does not record your IP address.

E-mail

E-mails you send to PARELO addresses (kvkk@, support@, partners@ and info@parelo.net) are currently stored on a mail server outside Türkiye (Hostinger; servers in France and Germany, Hostinger staff may access them from outside the EU). We plan to move this mailbox to Türkiye. The login codes, contracts and notices we send you come from our own server in Türkiye and do not pass through this mailbox. If you prefer your data-protection request not to leave Türkiye, use our registered e-mail (KEP, parelo@hs01.kep.tr) or our postal address.

Your account in the app

If you open an account we process your e-mail address (encrypted), account language, sign-up and last sign-in dates and the packages you save. Saved packages hold no names or children's ages. We do not store the login code itself. The purpose is to run your account and show you the requests made with the same e-mail (Art. 5(2)(c)). "Delete account" removes your account, sessions and saved packages at once. Your requests are not removed by this; for them, use the deletion route under "Your rights".

Social media

If you write to our Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or Snapchat accounts, we process your message and user name to answer you (Art. 5(2)(c) and 5(2)(f)). These platforms are separate controllers for the data they process and keep it outside Türkiye; we see page statistics (such as reach and likes) only in aggregate. Please do not write passport, card or health details in these channels; use the app to book.

Automated decisions

We do not take a decision that has legal effects on you by automated means alone. Prices come from the written price table; our team checks requests and partner applications. A short-term request limit is applied to prevent abuse; this is not an assessment of you.

Children

The app is not directed at children; it is meant for adults (18 and over) planning a family trip. For children only the number and age group are entered; we do not ask for children's names, dates of birth or photos.

Your rights

You may ask to see, correct or delete your data under Article 11 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) by writing to info@parelo.net. Contact: kvkk@parelo.net, KEP (parelo@hs01.kep.tr) or our postal address. If your application is refused, you find the answer insufficient, or there is no answer within 30 days, you may complain to the Personal Data Protection Board (KVK Kurulu) within 30 days of learning the answer and in any case within 60 days of your application (KVKK Art. 14).

Cookies

This site uses no advertising or analytics cookies and loads no third-party scripts. Only the currency you chose (and your request code, if you looked it up) is kept on your device; it is not sent to a server on its own. These are strictly necessary, so we do not ask for consent. Your personal data: Privacy Notice.
