Feeling at home in a hotel is great, but it’s important to remember that your stay should feel just as pleasant to the hotel’s staff and the rest of the guests. Here are a few behaviors all hotel guests should avoid.

Leaving Your Room Undressed

As we said, the hotel may feel like your home, but it isn’t the situation. Don’t go down to the lobby or breakfast wearing your bathrobe or pajamas, and don’t leave your room barefoot.

Overdoing It at The Buffet

It’s okay to grab an extra fruit from the complimentary buffet, but many hospitality workers point out that some guests stock up on enough food to last them the whole day, which isn’t acceptable.

Making Lots of Noise

Always be mindful of the fact the hotel is a shared space, and try to make your comings and goings as calm and quiet as possible, for the sake of the other guests. Try to avoid talking loudly in the hallways and slamming doors, especially if you’re leaving for an early flight.

Update Them About Check In or Check Out

Late check-out should always be arranged in advance, and at times it just won’t be possible. Never assume it’s an option without asking as that is considered highly inconsiderate. The same goes for arriving hours early and expecting your room to be ready.

A big (and arguably the best) part of traveling is being exposed to new cultures. But as you mix with the locals, bear in mind that some of the things that may seem trivial to you are actually considered impolite or even offensive in other countries. 

Giving the Thumbs Up

This gesture might seem like an innocent way to show your approval. However, in Greece, South America, West Africa, and some Middle Eastern Countries, giving someone the thumbs up is the equivalent of holding up your middle finger.

Sitting in the Back of a Taxi

If you’re traveling on your own and need to catch in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, or the Netherlands, don’t jump straight into the backseat. Doing so may be perceived as condescending and rude towards the driver.

Finishing All Your Food

In China, Russia, Thailand, and the Philippines, leaving your plate completely empty after a meal signifies that you are still hungry and the host didn’t provide enough food.

Blowing Your Nose

While in some countries blowing your nose in public is considered normal, in France, Japan, China, and Saudi Arabia, it’s best to excuse yourself before doing so. In these countries blowing your nose is considered repulsive and should be done in private.

Keeping Your Hands in Your Pockets

Keeping your hands in your pockets while talking to someone in South Korea and Turkey will make you seem arrogant.
