If you ever watched an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Hotel H, you'll know that lodging establishments aren't always up to par. And we here at Bored Panda have decided to remind you of these horribly crappy designs. We've compiled a second list of hotels that failed so badly, it's funny. Failed appliances? Oh yes. Spiders living in a pillowcase? You bet. After going through our refined selection of "NOPE," you might never look the same at Booking dot com photos ever again. Scroll down to laugh at these and other hotel design disasters (or cry if you're staying in one of them) and upvote your favorite epic fails.

Found This Note In My Hotel Bed Last Night...

Found This Note In My Hotel Bed Last Night...

Found at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel, this note was placed under the fitted bottom sheet. The unlucky fellow who stumbled across it said he could "clearly see the sheet of paper when pulled the top sheet and blanket back." Makes you wonder how long it was there, doesn't it? Could be from pre-2000's for all we know.

    Welcome To The Hotel California!

    The person who took this photo said that it's a somewhat new hotel, opened a little over a year ago. "Definitely not a temporary wall," they added. "There is another room just to the left of the frame of the pic."
    You can check-in anytime, but you can never leave, muahaha!

    This funny fail from China probably was born because of Google Translate. At least they tried to warn the guests. Or maybe they're certain you're going to slip, so they want to make sure you do it with grace.

    According to the guest, however, they didn't mind the obstruction. "I see kids playing in the rubbish piles all day long," they said. "Breaks your heart." As you might've guessed, this hotel is located "well away" from the touristy parts of Delhi.

    The Salt And Pepper Shakers In My Hotel Room

    OK, let's say there's a reasonable explanation for why the salt and pepper have to be sealed. Why keep the bags in bottles, though? Closed bottles? Just put a lock on them if you don't want to your guests to bankrupt you with their excessive use of spices and minerals, you scrooge.

    Jenny Kershaw from Manchester, tweeted a photo from the Booking dot com page of the Mari Gold Hotel & Apartment in Vietnam, highlighting a stunning swimming pool against a sunny sky. But next to the glamorous snap she shared a photo of the reality – a tiny hot tub. Interestingly, as her tweet was going viral, the travel company got in contact with Jenny, asking if she would like to make a formal complaint but she declined. Talk about holiday spirit!

    You know that feeling when you're a hotel owner and the customers don't know how to ration their hot water usage? Well, the owner of this hotel apparently had had enough and went to the trouble of inventing ways to stop people from taking hot showers. Perhaps a cold shower of negative reviews will change this owner's mind sooner or later.

    A carpet with a killer design. Literally. Nothing's more relaxing than going to your hotel room and finding out that either a [end] took place in the hotel's corridor or the blood elevator scene from Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' is actually a thing which happens from time to time in real hotels as well. And if that's the case, why should some one be bothered with changing the carpets?

Well in this hotel you'd be safer to never even touch the air around the minibar. Just imagine what the bill would look like if an earthquake happened during your stay!
