💬 Behind the Scenes of Hotel Life
When staying at a hotel, we expect comfort, convenience, and relaxation. But behind the polished smiles and neatly made beds, hotel staff often witness things guests never realize—and they have valuable insights to share.
An experienced hotel employee recently revealed 8 key mistakes that travelers should avoid. These tips can protect your health, your belongings, and your overall hotel experience.
✅ 1. Never Use the Bedspread Without Removing It First
❌ Why?
The decorative bedspread or thick duvet on top of the bed is rarely washed between guests.
✔️ What to do?
Remove it as soon as you arrive. Only use the clean sheets underneath for sleeping.
✅ 2. Don’t Drink from the Room Glasses Without Washing Them First
❌ Why?
Sometimes, housekeeping staff only rinse the glasses or wipe them with a cloth—not always sanitary.
✔️ What to do?
Wash them with hot water and soap, or request disposable cups from reception.
✅ 3. Never Leave Valuables in Plain Sight
❌ Why?
Even in reputable hotels, theft can happen—sometimes unintentionally if valuables are left out.
✔️ What to do?
Use the in-room safe or keep valuables in your possession at all times.
✅ 4. Avoid Walking Barefoot on Hotel Carpets
❌ Why?
Hotel carpets are seldom deep-cleaned, and can harbor bacteria, allergens, and dust mites.
✔️ What to do?
Always wear socks or slippers when walking around your room.
✅ 5. Always Check the Bed Sheets for Cleanliness
❌ Why?
In rare cases, sheets might not be changed if they appear clean.
✔️ What to do?
Look for stains or odors. If something seems off, ask for fresh linens immediately.
✅ 6. Never Say Your Room Number Out Loud
