According to Indiatoday, Esther, a Dutch flight attendant for European Airlines KLM, revealed that when she travels for work, she always throws a water bottle under the bed as soon as she checks into a hotel room as a precaution.

Why should you throw your water bottle under the bed after checking into a hotel?

When checking into a hotel, to ensure your safety and personal rights, you need to check carefully to avoid unwanted incidents. Under the bed is one of the places we should not ignore.

According to Esther, the habit of throwing a water bottle under the bed as soon as she checks into a hotel room is a proactive precaution to ensure her safety during her stay.

The flight attendant for European Airlines KLM explained that by doing this, she can easily detect if someone is hiding under the bed.

When throwing a bottle of water under the bed, if it does not roll out, you can look down yourself or ask a companion or hotel staff to check under the bed to see if anyone is holding the bottle.

If no one is underneath, the bottle will roll out to the other side. In the worst case, quickly leave the room and call hotel security to handle it.

Why should you throw your water bottle under the bed after checking into a hotel? This little trick can help you detect dangers under the bed. 

In addition, instead of throwing the water bottle under the hotel bed, you can also bend down to check. In addition to ensuring safety, checking this location helps you know whether the hotel room is clean or not because under the bed can contain a lot of dirt, hair, condoms, cigarette butts, food packaging that previous guests "forgot" to throw away or intentionally left behind.

This can also be the "nest" of insects such as ants, cockroaches, bugs..., directly affecting your skin and health. Many types of microorganisms and very small parasites are the culprits that cause you allergies, itching, and rashes.

Under the hotel bed sometimes there are valuable jewelry that has been dropped, shoes that have been left behind and have not been cleaned up by the staff.

More dangerously, it can also be a place where someone hides weapons, stimulants that can cause danger or trouble for you.

Therefore, checking under the bed when checking into a hotel room is quite important, to protect yourself.

Although the act of throwing a bottle of water under the bed only takes about 2 seconds, it will help us avoid a lot of trouble that may occur.

In fact, there have been people who have gotten into big trouble, even the law, because they did not check under the bed.

A thorough check-in at a hotel is essential as it helps ensure your safety. 

Items to check upon check-in

In addition to under the bed, you also need to check the following elements immediately after checking into a hotel to ensure a smooth, comfortable and safe stay.

- Door lock and room card: When staying at a hotel, in addition to closing the door, you should remember to install the safety lock.

Check if the door lock works as well as how the door lock works. You can try locking the door when you are inside and outside the room to make sure the lock works properly.
