Hotel owners and the management staff are not proud of it, which is why you won’t hear these things from them. Still, luckily, some of the staff members got candid and talked about some of their experiences, such as marinating a whole pig in the bathtub. Yeah! Believe us, the rooms you book have seen it all.

Most maids only look at the clothes guests bring, but some have also admitted to trying them on in the rooms. Maids have been caught several times before doing this. “Many of you have really nice clothes, and if we think we’re the same size, we will try on your fancy evening gowns, jewelry, and shoes.”

Also, if the cleaning staff has to go to the bathroom, they’ll use the one in the room they are cleaning instead of the staff bathroom they are supposed to use. “Something else we do sometimes is that we use the toilets in the guest’s bathroom, but only if we are super busy and don’t have enough time to go to the staff toilets. It is something we are not supposed to do, but many do it anyway.”

I used to work events at hotels, and one time, we had a guest break a glass inside a water refill barrel. I left work for 2 weeks to go on vacation, and when I returned, all the glass was still piled inside the water refill barrel. People must have been drinking out of it because there were events booked while I was gone.

If you only eat vegetarian food, look away now. Hotel kitchens often do not care about accurately focusing on vegetarian requirements. “Veg food isn’t really veg if you have a look at how it’s prepared. Dough for the flatbreads have eggs in it, the sauces are prepared using chicken or veal stock, the same utensils are used for everything, and we really do not know if a piece of minced meat went into your dish.”

While state regulations require hotels to sanitize commonly touched areas, such as bathrooms and glasses, the same level of attention is not given to less noticeable items, like hair dryers. Consequently, these items may not be regularly cleaned by housekeeping and could go for extended periods without proper disinfection, causing bacteria to build up.
