Hi there! Welcome to the Bored Panda luxury hotel. Here’s your room key and a list of amenities we have to offer. A complimentary breakfast will be provided in the restaurant each morning between 7 and 9, and there's a gym on the third floor that’s available for all guests. Feel free to call the front desk if you have any questions, and enjoy your stay!
You might associate staying in a hotel with rest and relaxation if you only book them while you’re on vacation. But spending time in a hotel is an extremely different experience for the staff. Employees of luxury hotels have recently been spilling secrets on Reddit about what really goes on behind the scenes, so we've gathered some of their most unsettling stories below. Enjoy reading through these details that management might want to keep under wraps, and be sure to upvote the tales that will make you rethink your next stay in a hotel!

Front desk knows all the call girls. We give them water on the way out and sometimes call them taxis. Management doesn’t like us doing it but escorts tip well.

A friend of mine has worked in hotel management for years and he's always said the better the hotel, the better call girls are treated and regular guests don't even know they are there.

My bf was once on a business trip in a very fancy hotel in Manila and I joined him for a week. On the first night I've noticed there were call girls frequently using bar, I even chatted with one of them and she gave me travelling tips :) my bf said he also noticed them. And the next day he said proudly "This one lady has been here everyday for 3 weeks and she kept asking me for light every day so I showed her where free matches are!" my sweet thing didn't connect the dots and was unaware that it was in fact a call girl asking him for light every day...

I only work as a housekeeper at a regular 4 star Hotel, but probably about 25% of people either bleed or leave s**t stains on the beds. It's truly atrocious how disgusting people are, especially when they know someone else is cleaning it up. Even the wealthier guests. And the best tippers are the cleanest people. If someone fully s**t on the bed and used towels to wipe, left cum on the shower door, drank heavily and puked on the carpet in multiple places, and clogged the toilet, that person will not tip at all. But the person who barely used the full bed and didn't use the shower at all and was super clean and polite, now that's a good tipper.
Marianne Saiso 1 year ago
Many of these things: yes, absolutely disgusting. But it's only been since the moon cup is out that I have a way to get at least 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep without bleeding through on my period. There are many of us. That is NOT intentional. We are embarrassed by that too. I don't even own bedding without blood stains, as it just is that bad. I just cannot set an alarm every two hours when trying to get some rest while bleeding half to death (I lose more than is considered healthy as a blood donation).
Papa 1 year ago
I agree that people aren't always at fault for leaving blood stains behind. Last year I apparently scratched the scab off a sore place in my sleep and got a blood stain on the pillow case. I reported it, and offered to pay for the pillow case, but was told not to worry about it.

I tip well, but only for one day's work as I leave the "do not disturb" sign on the door for my entire stay except the day I leave. I don't need someone to make a bed everyday when it's going to messed up again in 16 hours.

Genuine question if you accidentally get blood on the sheets, think monthly feminine problems. What should you do to be nice to the hotel staff. I haven't had that happen yet but like I only really have enough cash for an average tip. Plus it's not like I can wash the sheets. Should I try to get the blood out in the sink?
Jude Laskowski 1 year ago
When I used to take long road trips, I brought my own pillow and blanket. I removed the bedspread and folded it on the chair, also where I put the hotel pillow. I stripped the bed and left the used sheets folded on the bed. Yes, I took the shampoo and lotion, but I also tipped the housekeepers. They have a difficult job so why not make it a little better?

My buddy was a dive instructor at a luxury resort on an island.
One of the guests had a heart attack on the diving excursion(before he got off the boat).
The nearest Doctor couldn’t come for 24hrs, so they put the corpse in a guest room and cranked up the aircon.
Of course reception gave the key to the corpse room to a newly arrived honeymooning couple. They were greeted by the star of weekend at Bernies
Edit for clarity: Dr was to sign off death, do formalities not to save life.

My wife and I use to dabble into Swinging and went to a Hotel take over at a small place in Dominican Republic. It was a mixed crowd age wise but we were awaken by a woman screaming. She had been some were else that night, and came back to her bungalow and found her husband dead. The staff were great on getting things done, but it took until the next day to move the body and her back to the USA. . In the mean time the local Police hung out enjoying the view(nude beach), which was tolerable, but the widow insisted on staying a the beach bar and getting drunk and wailing about how she wasnt there.

When I worked at a nice hotel, the 'affair [code of conduct]' was brought up in training. Never mention a person being a regular and don’t mention anything about their partner or the fact it’s a different partner. That became a rule after some valet basically kickstarted a very nasty divorce with a wealthy guest.

That happened at the hotel where I worked. Except it was with 2 staff members. Everyone knew they were having an affair. Even the staff in the kitchen who didn't speak English knew. Except their spouses apparently didn't know. Until one weekend when the woman was supposed to be out of town, but she was actually in a room at our hotel with the guy. (The guy happened to be my boss - he had a wife and 2 little kids) The woman's husband somehow got wind of it and showed up at the hotel. He told the front desk he was joining his wife and they stupidly gave him an extra key to the room. (Which was totally against protocol) The husband caught them and all hell broke loose. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner - they were not subtle at all!

The business didn't make any promises to the cheater's spouse. Where I live, if a business gave out personal information to another party (without the consent of the person), then they would be breaking the law. It wouldn't matter how much an employee wanted to call out the cheater, if they did, they would be fired, and the business fined.

My brother worked in an upscale hotel in Southern California. A morbidly obese guest sat on the toilet in his room, shattered it, got his femoral artery slashed by a chunk of broken toilet, bled to death, and flooded his room when the water line ruptured. My brother found out about it from the maintenance guy who found the body. Management made sure no other guest ever knew, including the guests in the room below the death scene who called for maintenance because water was running down their wall.

Something similar happened to a guy I knew who was at a college football game. He was heavy, toilet shattered. He didn't bleed out, though. Sliced his buttcheeks pretty good and he had the pleasure of being hauled out of the stadium a*s-up in front of a crowd of 50k people.

Sounds like it had to have had blood running down because the femoral artery, hopefully it spread out and looked brown so people thought it was sewage. Easier to accept crappy water from broken pipe than blood from a dead guy.

I worked in room service at a very chic hotel in Miami. One guest requested that a specific waitresses (not a room service worker) always deliver him food. Not exactly sure what went on in there, but he tipped her with a big bag of weed each time. Which she would promptly bring back to share with the room service staff. Calvin Klein brought his own food because he was on a special diet. He was an a*****e about it too. I can confirm that the concierge will get you WHATEVER you want: women, d***s, Cuban cigars, guest listed at clubs... On the opposite end of the spectrum, I worked at a nice but older resort--one step above a cheap motel. A local hooker stole all the furniture from one of our rooms. It was old crappy wicker furniture. We had a local couple, who were staying with us to avoid being served for a lawsuit. We weren't allowed to say that they were staying there. The police eventually showed up for them. There were several times when guests would come to the front desk claiming the maids had stolen something from their room. They would be irate, demanding we call the police. Every. Single. Time. They found the item either in their luggage or car, or their travel companions had moved/packed the item. One gentleman claimed that he forgot his very expensive camera in his room. My manager pulled up video that showed him packing up his car, placing the camera on top of the car and driving off without realizing it.

Porn shoots. And you know those carpets and upholstery ain’t getting cleaned.
martin734 1 year ago
It depends on who is doing the shoot. In the late 90's I did nude modelling and the occasional p*rn shoot (photo, not video). One of the p*rn shoots I did was in a London hotel for a now defunct top-shelf gay magazine. When we did the shoot, the magazine supplied all of the props used including all the soft furnishings used and all of the bedding. They actually hired three adjacent rooms and used one for the shoot, one for the models doing the shoot and one for storing all the stuff they brought to do the shoot and all the stuff they took out of the room. They also had the shoot room thoroughly cleaned afterwards. Professional shoots are always done like this and the hotel, staff and guests are always treated very respectfully. On the opposite end of this you have "amateur shoots" which often end up with the hotel room looking and smelling like a teenage boy's bedroom.

I used to work as a freelance bartender and hotels were always the worst run situation I would end up in. Here are some examples from a really nice looking hotel in an old monastery. The beer lines had never been cleaned, like literally never. I asked where the equipment was to do it and no-one could tell me. I eventually found it dusty in a closet in the cellar. The breakfast buffet leftovers were usually reheated and given to the staff, but sometimes became the following day's breakfast buffet. The chefs were just s**t faced pretty much every day. The worst I saw though was the wine put out on tables at a wedding. They married them up, recapped them, and put them back in the cellar. Not even the same wine getting poured into bottles. Guests had drank straight from them and everyone had seen, and no-one had an issue with this. In my country this is actually illegal, it's called diverting waste. This was the final straw for me in this particular venue. I told the manager that I didn't give a s**t what he did after my time there ended but there was no f*****g way I was letting that wine be resold. He tried to tell me that it was perfectly legal, I cut him off and told him that it wasn't, it doesn't matter either way, it's disgusting and immoral, and if I find a single bottle of that wine in the stores I'm walking out. Luckily when you're freelance bartending somewhere you're there because they desperately need you, so threatening to leave works really well.

About right. I was a freelance Chef for many years, mostly at senior / management level and I can attest to many, many Chefs, including me, were either stoned or shitfaced most days - i did a 10 day stint once which involved several major functions, 3 weddings and hundreds of dishes put through 3 restaurants and I have absolutely no recollection of any of those 10 days the only reminders being the thank you letters received from the weddings and heads of the functions. Another time, we ran out of Port for a Freemasons convention and 'manufactured ' some by mixing the cheapest red wine we had with the cheapest cream Sherry we could find (40 /60 % mix if you're interested), went down very well (Port, btw is always served with the Cheese course at Masonic do's). Far to many other nutty stories, I must write a book !!

Don't know abut now, but certainly when I worked in high end restaurants / hotels back in the 80's and 90's, many, many of us were effectively high functioning alchoholics / druggies and could turn out top notch food pretty much all of the time. There were instances where one or two were so far out of it that we had to send them to the staff room or home to sober up, but the majority just worked through it .... Stress and long hours were not our friends, which is why so many took substances to numb the panic or give us enough energy to do the job to the required standard ..... Bloody nuts.

I worked in golf resorts for a while, dealt with elite 1% a**hats for many years. I’m not going to give anyone a playbook at stealing identities, but billionaires are notoriously careless with their bank information. In a hotel, there are times where you need a credit card authorization form, faxed. It’s a major security risk to send it through any other electronic way. But these one percenters see all that as an inconvenience. They will be like “listen, I don’t give a s**t, I don’t care about your policy, you’re going to take my info however *I* give it to you.” Remember when Mark Zuckerberg was burned for having a password “dadada”? This is exactly what some of these wealthy people do.

A tip for secure passwords credit to John Snowden: Don't think passWORDS, think password phrases. Like: MargaretThatcherIs100%Sexy. No one will ever guess that <-- Credit to John Oliver. (HBO) 🤣 So when you log on your facebook use aomwthing like: I<3myFRIEND, clothing store: I'mHOTasF@ck, book store: iAM75%owl. And so on. It makes remembering different passwords easier and not reusing the same password on all your sites make you more safe on the internet...

I work in a Vegas casino and I’ve seen, on multiple occasions, luggage down at the trash dock. I mean luggage with airport tags still attached that look like they’re in use. Could draw a couple conclusions. Are people buying new luggage here? Not likely. We sell it, but these are newer bags I’m seeing. The much more likely scenario is these people are either no longer here or no longer alive. Deaths happen here and you’ll never hear about them. Trafficking is the darker thought for me. Plenty of beautiful young women here being way too loose with their own safety. —no one is blaming the women. But getting blackout drunk and wandering off into Naked City or down Flamingo rd at 2am is disregarding your own safety.

This post is false speculation. The most likely reason is people bought new bags, typically because the previous one broke or they needed a larger bag. There are countless stores selling luggage on the strip for this reason. Abandoned bags would go to hotel's lost and found before being thrown to trash. If a room appeared abandoned, the hotel would contact authorities. This OP may work at the casino, but that doesn't mean they work/understand the hotel side of the business. The OP mentions that the luggage is sold, but they should be more clear that it's some random individual taking it from the trash and selling it, not the hotel selling it. Having the airport tags still attached means absolutely nothing. Many people don't bother removing those tags until the next time they are going to the airport again. I've kept tags on bags for years. Lastly, jumping to trafficking or death conspiracy as the cause is insane. If you're going the crime route, theft or d***s would be a much smaller leap.

it would be a different response specifically because woman do have to worry about being rape or abducted etc. (Not that those things don't happen to men as well) But, there is a biological truth, on average women are smaller and weaker than men and, therefore are more vulnerable. That is a reality, not victim blaming.

But he said "Svjatislav does these concerts to enjoy every moment, and gets in a specific mood. Especially after the concert. It would disturb him, if someone starts talking to him.". Honestly, I got it. Mind you, bring the artist from his room on stage also means you share an elevator, so looking at each other is nearly unavoidable. But no problem. After the concert, there was a happy twinkle in his eyes. For whatever reason, that made me happy. The concert itself was masterful, as to be expected from a legend.

He said not to ask directly, but if you have a bellboy bring up something, ask them or ask room service. They usually can sell directly or know who's holding in the hotel.

A bellboy in Vegas helped me find the best tattoo parlor. We asked him because he had some cool tattoos. And no I wasn't drunk - I was planning to get the tattoo while I was there anyway. :)

I used to work at a high-end lodge that hosted holiday parties/fancy dinners for software giants, and one exec peed ALL OVER a room. It was $13,000 in damage. We regularly had rich guys pull up in their Lamborghinis with a sex-worker. My favorite was the couple we had to essentially evict from their room due to smell and noise complaints. When we got in, there were dozens of designer shoe boxes and coke residue everywhere. The woman left with her foot hanging out the window as they drove away — wealthy people are weird.

One thing management definitely wouldn't want guests to know is how sometimes housekeeping cuts corners if they are running behind. If you're staying just one night and your sheets look and smell clean enough, they might not actually get washed. That's right, management sometimes instructs housekeeping to skip the wash if it seems unnecessary. So, that 'fresh' bedding you're snuggling into? It might have been slept in by the previous guest. Sweet dreams!

I think we all need to strip the bed before we leave, for each-other's sake. Just pull it all off and pile it on the bed, then they may as well put out fresh bedding from the neatly folded stuff, rather than untangle what you pulled off.

Yepp! Ironed sheets / linnen wrinkle easily. At least in the countries where individually wrapped duvets are common you can't get away with not changing the bedding. But it may be different if you have one big thick blanket over the bed like in Italy or the US.

A well-known luxury hotel and resort chain keeps a database of you. They get pictures from the internet and basically 'stalk you' to create a profile. They put what you ordered to eat, how many towels you needed, what drink you liked, your kids' names and birthdays, addresses, and phone numbers. Everyone working in the hotel has access to this database and can see your information. It's not all good stuff, either. We know 'you were an a**hole to Jen' while you were staying in London. The one I was at had to remove cameras in the lobby because big wig guys would bring their mistresses and no evidence was allowed to be recorded.

That's nothing, I worked with a chap once who'd been Head Concierge at a very well known, very high end Hotel in London, who kept a little black book (this is before computers / internet etc) with all of the clients likes / dislikes, pecadillos, favourite call girls (who he all knew ), where they like to eat and what their favourite dishes were, what type of shows / films they liked to see etc ...... He served everyone from royalty to wealthy businessmen. Angelo retired aged 55 to his estate in Italy and never had to worry about money, even though he never earned a huge amount when working. Met him many years later, he was happy and confided that he'd always kept several copies of his little book. Good man, sadly no longer with us.

I saw something resently about hotel concierges special club - it would need outstanding guest service to be able to join, and you'd have a special pin/emblem you could wear. Part of the outstanding guest service would be to know everything about a guest, their personal preferences etc, so you can cater to their wishes as best as possible. So yes, they do make profiles.

My story's quite tame compared to most of the ones here. When I was in college in the early 1990s, I was a banquet server at a semi-high end place, and there was a couple who stayed in a room for several days and ordered room service for all their meals, including at least one bottle of Dom Perignon champagne, which at that time was $150 plus tip. They were otherwise unremarkable except for one thing: When they checked out, they paid their bill entirely in quarters, which they brought to the lobby in canvas bags. We guessed they most likely owned a car wash, or a laundromat.

Human trafficking became so bad that the company gave us training on looking out for it. There is policy in place to knowingly cause you issue and pacify you (ex: routine elevator maintenance during a busy period because the tech travels around and it is now or 3 weeks from now. The elevator did not "have unforseen issues") Professionals are the worst guests for partying and puking everywhere and pissing in halls and breaking things and f*****g in public areas... lawyers, doctors, teachers. In that order. Whenever they had conventions, extra staff were on the next day for dealing with damage. EDIT: I forgot to add overbooking as an example of d**king with people. We assumed not everyone would show on a 100% occupancy night and booked more than we could hold. The rare time we did have everyone show, "heres free stuff and a ride to x hotel". We even had friendly agreements with neighbouring competition to let each other know when we could take each others overbookings.

I worked in fancy hotels for over a decade some corporate owned, private owned and indian owned. Just about anything you can imagine happens. I was in a group of managers of different properties who would meet weekly for drinks and we would share " well you wouldn't believe this s**t" stories. We had a saying, "don't ever say I have seen it all or what's the worst that can happen". But to be specific, fires, death, robbery, prostitution, sex in every nook and cranny, drunk people doing stupid s**t, "important people" doing stupid s**t and thinking their clout can make it go away. However, the best ones are really the most un-wild and just mechanical failures. Things like fire systems going off , a boiler busting and water raining down an elevator all the way to the lobby. Scissor lifts falling through the floor because the dirt washed out under the foundation concreate. If you really want to get a daily dose of what it's like front of house ppl have a sub called r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk/ Probably the most scarry thing is really just the turn over rate. The owners/ corporate overloards are always trying to save a buck anywhere they can. And it's a shark filed world. I have seen so many times were they would fire the managers of departments who were loyal and hard working just to save 2k a year promoting someone who barely knew what to do. We ask the employees to deal with the unexpected all the time and never reward them and it's just a game of how long will they put up with this s**t vs do they believe they can do better vs will someone do it for less pay without them realizing it.

Having worked in the casino industry, one of my fellow slot managers used to be a hotel manager at the Rio in Las Vegas. He had a couple try to book a room but the hotel was completely sold out. Shortly after he got a call from housekeeping that an older couple was found unresponsive and most likely deceased in their room. They called the police, and the authorities removed the bodies. Not long after, housekeeping cleaned the room. Seeing that the earlier couple was nearby, the manager called them over and offered them the room. They were ecstatic and took it not knowing what had just occurred. The manager gave them a discount on the bill

This has to be fake. A couple died in the SAME room at the SAME time and police didn’t investigate the room and situation? It would’ve been carbon monoxide, food poisoning, murder, or a double-suicide or something. No two people coincidentally die together at the same time from old age.

It’s expected that people die in a hospital. It is NOT expected that TWO people die in a hotel at the SAME TIME. It would even be less likely to just rent out the room hours later because they would surely want to know the cause. Even if a bottle of hills was in plain sight, and it looked like the couple committed a suicide together, I seriously doubt the police would just release the room back to the hotel at that point.

Just recently quit my job at a very old hotel that’s rated 4-stars and extremely popular. For an entire summer, we weren’t given sponges and had to scrub toilets, tubs, etc. with nothing but our gloves hands and tilex. Some housekeepers bought their own sponges, but there was no way I was going to spend money when the hotel makes millions every year. When we finally got sponges, we would use the same one for every sink, toilet, and tub/shower. There was mold growing behind the wallpaper in some of the bathrooms, especially the poolside rooms. We prioritized speed over cleanliness every time. If pillow cases didn’t /look/ used, we were taught to not replace them. It just has to look clean, it doesn’t have to actually be clean.

Convention attendees get so out of control that the hotel will only host the convention if they have a private security force. Since private security isn't law enforcement or licensed, they do pretty much whatever it takes to keep trouble out of the public eye. Mostly, it's locking people up in rooms or escorting them out of town, but they can get rough at times. But none of the convention attendees know they are there and the hotel staff pretends they don't see them. Even those who run afoul of them don't know exactly who it was who grabbed them.

My Sister in law and a friend of hers who are both ex military and are generally laid back about most situations, managed to book themselves a girls holiday in Turkey at a hotel / resort that catered mostly for Russian tourists. The staff all carried side arms and were either ex military or martial arts trained. Everyone and their baggage was put through an X-Ray machine before being escorted to their rooms, and any weapons were confiscated. Needless to say, they weren't very comfortable and saw many, many often very bloody fights amongst drunk Russian men and women. They cut their stay short and got a ferry over to Rhodes.

I used to work in accounts receivable for a couple of luxury hotels that were owned by the same LLC. We would open blocks of rooms for GENERIC SPORTS SEASON about 8 months in advance. Due to high demand these reservations had to be a two day FRI, SAT stay. Payment was made in full (450-800 depending on room type). Refunds were available only if you cancelled a month before the arrival date. When I first started in the position I discovered $63,000 worth of reservations that had been cancelled on time but were never refunded. I showed it to my manager, an absolutely incompetent woman who couldn't check in a guest if she needed to, she got back to me after discussing it with one of the owners. I can't remember how exactly she put it but I was told to just forget the matter and not to mention it to anyone. I got a $500 dollar cash Christmas bonus that year.

In the 90s, I was doing a shoot at one of the top five hotels in Paris. The manager told us they basically had a racial quota - they would turn down the majority of Arab reservations to help their European customers feel more comfortable. He was quite open about it. Edit: just to clarify, he was talking about Arabs wearing traditional dress, eg: full burkas etc. which I guess made wealthy Europeans nervous. It was a time when a lot of mega-rich Arabs were out there throwing tons of cash around. And if anyone is interested, the hotel was Le Bristol.

Friend of mine recently confirmed the cliche that the cleaning staff uses ONE cloth for cleaning the entire hallway. That means they start at room #1 with the furniture and stuff and end with the bathroom. Then they proceed with room #2 and start with the furniture again... On good days they would use two separate rags for the room and the bathroom but they would still start with the sink and end with the toilet only to start with the sink in the next room again. This is so disgusting to think about that many people forget about it very fast after hearing this. Kind of a self protection measurement of our brains I guess. If I have to stay in a hotel I always pack a bunch of desinfectants and will refuse to let the staff clean my room.

The bellman or night valets will happily set you up with an escort. Hotel bartenders and servers routinely work 10+ hours without a break. If your behavior (fighting for example) on property requires calling the police, you will just be escorted back to your room IF you are there with your family. If you're alone, you're at a minimum being kicked out of the hotel and probably arrested. Hotel management is aggressively incompetent. If you're terrible at everything and want a mediocre salary with long hours and no responsibility, but you can wear a blazer, this is the job for you. Conventions are hotbeds of adultery. The big hotel chains will nickel and dime you to death, and not always legally. Some of them have been sued for it, lost, and continue to do it anyway. Everyone on staff hates the majority of the guests. Labor and wage violations are rampant.
