Guest reviews

Guest experience, and the response of the hotel management to the reviews, indicate the attitude of the administration in handling problems. Book hotels with more reviews because it gives more information, or else take help from any acquaintances who might have been to the place.

When in the lobby

Ask for the room

The popular belief is that the 2nd and 6th floors are the best. The reason is that the lower floors are easily accessible to intruders, and beyond the 6th floor is sometimes difficult for the firefighter to reach.

Check for safety exits.

After getting to the room, ensure that you also look at the fire exits, the fire alarm and the fire extinguisher on your floor -This will help you escape in case of any emergency.

When in the hotel

Check for the hidden camera

Warning indications about the unwanted cameras include multiple smoke detectors in the room and bathroom, weirdly placed gadgets, red lights, or wires. Cover any suspicious device, and after switching off the lights in the room, use your mobile phone light to pick up any other light.

Carry a door Jammer

Many people expect that the door of their room will automatically lock behind them; however, hotel doors might malfunction, leaving the door completely open. Carry an inexpensive jammer to ensure protection.

Keep an emergency light near you

A flashlight by your bedside will help you navigate the unknown layout if there is an emergency or power failure.

Do not be complacent.

Do not ignore or panic in case of an alarm. Get dressed, wear the shoes, pick up the lights, lock the door and carefully assess the situation.

If there is a fire

In case of smoke or fire, call the fire services and do not depend on hotel authorities solely for your safety. If you are on the top floor and unable to escape, close the door and use the wet bed sheet or towels to jam the entrance of the smoke into the room.

Losing the key or room card

Inform the hotel authorities immediately, and ask for the room to be changed. Someone could have access to the lost key that could put you in danger.

Going out of the hotel

Lock your valuables in a safe box

It is better if the safe has a number rather than a key, and it is best to keep your valuables in the safe while you are out. Keep your laptop under lock if you are not taking it with you.

Keep a hotel card

Unfamiliarity with the local language is problematic, and if you happen to lose your way back to the hotel, it can be a scary situation. To handle any situation like this, carry a hotel card with you.
