Why do I have to take a business card of that hotel? To advertise for them? Uh, no.

Imagine you are being stranded when you go out of the hotel without any money, your phone isn’t working, you do not know any language except your main language, ... So what will you doing at that time?

Sitting and crying for help. Waitting for God?

Yes! He will appear, but only in your imagination!

At that time, the business card will be your salvation, because there are address and telephone number of the hotel in it. You will find it helpful at that time!

 

2. Verify identity of hotel employee

 

 

Never judge someone by appearance, especially when it comes to safety. When you're in a strange place, you should not believe anyone unless things are really really really clear. In case you are in a hotel room, someone call himself is a employee of the hotel, and ask you to open the door. First thing you should do is calling the receptionist or hotel owner for verifying identity of him, to see if that person is a real hotel staff.

3. Cover peephole for privacy

 

 

Some doors of some hotels have peephole, to ensure your safety and privacy, you just find something that covers the hole. Adhesive tape, piece of paper, cardboard, or whatever can cover that “hole”!

4. Use door stopper

 

 

You should use a door stopper device or anything that can block a door in case someone suddenly opens your door without your permission. You can put a door stopper on the bottom of the door to prevent someone from suddenly opening your door. Some doors of hotels have chains that you can take advantage of, see who is out there and then you can feel free to open it.

5. Put a bullettin board "Free to disturb" in front of the door and turn the music out loud when you go out

 

 

This is a pretty good tip but equally useful. "Free to disturb" bulletin board has its second effect is keeping you safe. Why? The moment you're not in your room that is the best moment for the thieves. So you can pretend you are in the room, and besides the room is crowded, too (turn on music, loud TV, of course moderate to not disturb neighbors). 99% of thieves will pass your room in a very “innocent” way.

 

6. Looking for Reviews on the internet

 

 

When you looking for a hotel or anywhere else, such as restaurants, resorts, ... you should use endless resources that are extremely useful of the internet. For example: google reviews, related forums, groups, fanpage reviews on facebook, other social networks like instagram, pinterest, twitter, reddit, ... innumerable sources of reviews of the hotel you intend to visit.

Some questions you should looking for answer:

- Is that hotel safe?

- Does the hotel have a security camera?

- Has that hotel ever had bad rumors in the past?

 Or something like that …

 

7 . Avoid the ground floor, choose from 2th to 6th floor

 

 

Why do you have to avoid the ground floor? Because the ground floor in the hotel is always the top 1 vulnerable to the "super thieves", so you shouldn’t choose the ground floor unless there is no other way! You should choose 2th – 6^th floor. Because fire escape ladder can only reach the 4th to 6th floor. And you should try to select the room near the stairs. When the hotel is on fire, you can easily escape from that.
