Things You Should NEVER Do in a Hotel Room

🧼 HYGIENE & CLEANLINESS

Don’t use the glassware without washing it first

Housekeeping may not fully sanitize it — wash before use.

Don’t walk barefoot on the carpet

Hotel carpets are rarely deep-cleaned. Wear socks or slippers.

Don’t use the bedspread

Decorative top blankets often aren’t washed between guests.

Don’t touch the remote without cleaning it

Use a disinfectant wipe — remotes are high-touch, low-clean.

⚠️ SAFETY CONCERNS

Don’t forget to lock all doors and use security latches

Always secure yourself inside your room.

Don’t prop your door open

Even briefly — it’s a safety risk.

Don’t let unknown visitors in

Confirm with the front desk if someone claims to be staff.

Don’t disable smoke alarms or smoke inside

It’s illegal, unsafe, and could lead to fines or eviction.

🔇 NOISE & BEHAVIOUR

Don’t blast the TV or music

Keep noise levels respectful — hotel walls are thin.

Don’t host a party or pack in extra people

Violates hotel rules and can get you kicked out.

🔧 PROPERTY & RULES

Don’t steal anything

Towels, pillows, electronics — you may be charged.

Don’t overwork the thermostat

Cranking it too hard may break the unit.

Don’t use unauthorized appliances

Hot plates, toasters, and similar devices are a fire hazard.

💡 BONUS TIPS

Check for bedbugs: Inspect mattress seams and corners.

Don’t leave valuables in plain sight: Use the safe, if available.

Read the evacuation map on the back of the door in case of emergency.

Stay smart, stay safe, and enjoy your trip!
