Before you travel.. 4 things hotels won't tell you

 

With tourism gradually returning after the isolation of Corona, which lasted for more than 15 months, there are 4 things you need to know that the hotel management will not tell you.

When you travel, the hotel is your home in which you live, but most hotels, even luxury ones, are not at the level of cleanliness or safety of your home.

The most important question here, but what are the standards of hygiene? And what should you avoid when staying in a hotel? The answers to these questions are unanimously agreed by many travel websites.

And there are things inside the hotel, from the “magic eye” to the room door (a hole in the room door with a magnifying glass to identify who is knocking on the door), to the types of insects that get stuck in the bed, and other things that are a source of pollution in the hotel room, hotels do not tell you about.

Magic eye can be a spy camera :


Experts advise checking the magic eye in the hotel room door, and if you notice that it is damaged or has been tampered with, ask to move to another room immediately.

The magic eye must be transparent and clean, and enable you to see clearly, and if it is not valid in any way, it is not safe, and it may be a small camera installed in the door of your room in reverse that allows those outside the room to peek into it.

It is also recommended to put a paper over the magic eye to keep them safe, and remove it when needed. Jones adds that if you hear a knock on the door and look through the magic eye and see no one, do not open the door to your room, and immediately call the receptionist.

Avoid the electric kettle :


If you are used to starting your day with a cup of coffee, turn a blind eye to the coffee maker or electric kettle in your room, and go to one of the nearby cafes for your coffee or a hot drink.

The coffee maker, on the surface, might look clean, but no one knows how the previous guest in the room was using it, think of things like cigarette butts, pens, or maybe vomiting.

The glass cups placed on the sink in the bathroom are also suspicious. They are not as clean as they appear to you. All the cleaners in the hotel do is wipe them or wash them with plain water. It is preferable that guests wash these cups well with soap and water before using them to ensure their cleanliness. .

Best place to put luggage :

You will never believe that the best place to start opening your clothes bag is the toilet floor, after making sure that it is clean, and not the usual wooden holder for placing luggage, and the reason is that bed bugs love wood, and therefore can infiltrate your clothes through that wooden holder.

A metal stand is a good choice, as it is unlikely that bed bugs will eat metal.


The most polluted thing in a hotel room :


You have to enjoy :

Fortunately, despite bed bugs, contaminated remotes, and inverted magic eye, there is a growing awareness among the public of safety standards in hotels, especially after the Corona pandemic.

For those who want high hotel cleanliness, they only need to bring anti-bacterial towels or sprays with them, but if you want to be more sure of the cleanliness of your room, you can buy a bacteria detector to check things in the room such as blankets and landlines.
