Why should you throw a bottle of water under the bed as soon as you check into a hotel? | April 30, 2025

Renting a room at a motel or hotel to rest overnight during outings, travel or business trips has become very popular. One of the important things that people need to keep in mind when in unfamiliar places is safety.

Why should you throw a bottle of water under the bed as soon as you check into a hotel?
As soon as you check in, you should conduct a thorough check to avoid unwanted incidents. Normally, people often check the items in the room, bathroom and toilet to see if they have all the necessary equipment, and check to see if there are any suspicious devices, such as hidden cameras. However, not everyone pays attention to the area under the bed, which can pose potential safety risks for guests.

Esther, a Dutch flight attendant with many years of experience at KLM airline, said every time she checks into a hotel, she throws a bottle of water under the bed as a precaution. This action helps detect if anyone is hiding there or if there is anything suspicious.
