Hotels can be fantastic places that inspire you and help you forget about all your problems. That’s what happens when hoteliers and the staff all work in sync to provide the best possible service to their guests. However, this isn’t a guarantee.
There are plenty of horrid hotels out there that make Stephen King’s hotel in ‘The Shining’ seem like a picnic near the Seine in comparison. Some hotels are so bad that they’ll have you screaming, running away and thanking the heavens that you’re safe in your own bed. Bored Panda brings you this list of the creepiest, most horrible, most disgusting hotels ever that are a shining example of what not to do. Upvote the worst hotel pictures, and share your thoughts in the comments, and check out our other posts about the worst hotel fails here and here. And scroll down for our interview with Dr. Gabor Forgacs from Ryerson University as we talk to him about the hotel industry and what makes hotels stand out from the crowd.

Deborah Hoppe 6 years ago
ALWAYS put your luggage in the bathtub upon entering the first time then do a check of the room for bedbugs. Peel back the corners of the sheets & peek under the mattress edges, peek behind the headboard, etc. The reason hotels have that aluminum folding luggage stand is to keep bedbugs from creeping off the floor into your suitcase creases.

Some people react to them and some don't :( So you can have bedbugs and have no idea if you're a non-reacter. My sister and I stayed in a hotel with bed bugs and she had huge welts like these including ones on her eyelids! It was awful. I barely had any bumps at all.

Hotels that scare away their customers often have a problem with cleanliness, elementary hygiene, while staff members don’t understand the rules of hospitality. These are just the basics that hotels need to get right, though. What makes hotels more than average, quality-wise, is a mix of small and large things that create a wholesome atmosphere.

I worked in a shopping centre for years. in the UK. there was a lift in the back, between the shops and the stock rooms. initially, this life was fine. you'd head in with your big trolley of stuff, press the button (on the inside) and it would do its thing. it was kind of creepy, as it wasn't a little box. it was just a platform, going up and down between floors. after a few years, the lift would stop between floors. and you couldn't get it moving again from the inside. so initially, you would take your mobile or a walkie talkie, and use it to let the shop floor know you were stuck, and to call the lift down. or there was an alarm button if you had no means of communication. by the time I had been working there some years, there was a paper sign on the door. this lift is not intended for personnel use. load, and use the stairs. but it obviously WAS intended for personnel use. it had buttons on the inside. they just couldn't be arsed to fix it right

We were flying to Bonaire, a little island off the coast of Venezuela. Took 12 hours to get there..we get to the airport (we were the only ones on the plane with our trunks of camera equipment for underwater filming. The plane landed and dropped us off, and off they went. NO ONE at the airport. We finally got two taxis, and they took us to our resort...and I am being charitable. It had been storming all day. The owner of the resort was so drunk he could not walk. He saw us and said "GO HOME--EVERYTHING IS LOST." Apparently the storm ripped the dock off the side of the sea cliff, so no shore diving. We were beyond pissed. We told him that we were here to work for a Canadian film company who always stayed here, and we were not moving. We went to ones of the casitas, which had about a foot of water in it. We always went prepared and got some mops and brooms and plastic for the windows. It was even worse than this photo.

BUt they will separate that trash later believe it or not... Sweden is really a**l retentive on that. My husband was there this spring for sabbatical and he had to split his trash into 6 categories... it was nuts.

Flight Delayed Another Day In Little Rock. My Shower Curtain At Hotel Near Airport
Kevin Donegan 6 years ago
I'm shocked he was barefoot in that bathroom. I always bring a pair of flip flops or other sandals to wear in the bathroom/shower.
Claire Armstrong 6 years ago
OMG! I love you Kevin Donegan! Why did I never think of doing that - flip flops! Hotel bathrooms freak me the f**k out! Doesn't matter how clean they are! I always get involuntary shudders when going for a shower, always!

Hotel bathrooms just freak me out! Involuntary shudders every time! No matter how clean it is, or appears to be, I still shudder! Actually, it's not just hotels, happens with hospitals and using a shower in someone's house for the first time too! Maybe it's a problem with me and not the showers 🤔

They do this in beach town resorts so you can see the ocean from your bath/shower. Common here in Australia.

The blind and cord are on the wrong side. "I didn't know you were in the bathroom. Honest."

Signed Mattress At A Motel, Which We Promptly Left After Finding This. Nope
Monday 6 years ago
Changing mattresses out can be expensive, no sense throwing out a whole mattress just because someone wrote on it...also people do realize that when they stay at a hotel 99% of those mattresses have been used for sex right? That's what sheets are for.

Who in their right mind would do this? Hopefully the housekeeper saw the damage and billed it to Cyndi and Michelle.

Please tell me there is a shower lol! I have only went for a bath in a hotel once, after my gran had cleaned it with the cleaning products we found lol! Only reason I did it was so I could get a photo of me lying full out in it to show my man when I got back home! My gran then proceeded to show our full party the pictures! Mortified! My man said when I got home "Why didn't you get in it fully clothed and take a picture"! 🤔

The Hotel's Steam Iron Spat Rust On My Shirt

S**t! I hate when that happens. Always use the iron on a hotel towel before using it on your own clothes.

Does This Belong Here? The TV In My Friend's Hotel Room (And You Have To Pay 10€ Deposit For The Remote)
Mark 6 years ago
The way I see it a hotel room is somewhere to sleep and store your stuff while you are away, not quite sure why the size of TV is such an issue in that case.
Linda Something 6 years ago
Depends on why you are on a trip. If it's a business trip it might be nice to wind down at the hotel room with some TV after a hard day of work.

What Exactly Are These Decals In My Motel Room Supposed To Represent?
Mark 6 years ago
They are a way of showing you there is glass there in case some idiot walks into it. Maybe not the best way to show that but none the less........
Norman van Druten 6 years ago
Don't necessarily have to be an idiot. I used to install sliding doors, can't count the number of times we got a call to come and fix the sliding door or replace the glass because of some kid or adult walking/running the door right out of the frame or ultimately breaking the glass.

There is a difference between "Ocean View" and "Ocean Front" in the vacation industry, although they should have called this "Partial Ocean View".

Exactly right - this was a major year for the mayfly hatch - they were *really* bad everywhere. This photo is actually mild compared to some. The hatch could be seen on satellite images, it was so thick.

? I thought this was just a passive-aggressive type warning of "don't steal the hotel stuff" - it's unfortunately common...

I've seen this in a few different high-quality hotel chains. It's a nice gentle reminder that the hotel isn't going to let you steal with impunity.

I travel about 30 weeks a year and always stay at a Marriott. Never have I had any issues like this. Courtyards are my go to but there is no free breakfast. Fairfield is a bit lower quality but typically has a fridge and microwave. Westin is great but expensive. I used to stay at Holiday Inn and found the quality of their hotels to be lower. All of these post seem to be from cheap motels or locations outside of America. You get what you pay for with hotels so don't skimp out.

There are definitely several severe safety concerns here, but I think a lot of it comes down to first world travelers having unrealistically high expectations for what they'll get with their money. Just by going to a low cost country, you can expect everything to be a little bit lacking - safety standards, luxury, attentiveness, even privacy. If you end up going for the cheapest option in a developing country, then a lot of what's shown here is honestly to be expected. Be prepared to make peace with these sacrifices, and hopefully you'll come back a little more grateful and understanding of what all comes along with high standards of living that we enjoy in first world countries.
