A hotel worker shared insights of his job on social media, revealing that rooms are likely not as clean as we’d like to think.
For most of us, staying in a is seen as a luxury we treat ourselves to from time to time. However, it might not be as fancy as we think. One hotel worker took to travel forum to discuss the secrets they learned while working in the hotel – including how dirty the rooms can be.
They explained that, while always clean each room between guests, some items in the room were left for longer periods of time without being properly freshened up.
“Most hotels do not wash the big duvet, they only wash the sheets,” they explained. “At one hotel I worked at, they would only wash the duvet that was white if it had an actually dirty looking spot on it.”
However, the dirtiness didn’t end there, as they claimed the hotel they currently worked was even worse at keeping the rooms clean.

“The hotel I just started at is even worse. They have brown duvets that literally never ever get washed,” they claimed.
They continued to share more of their experience in how hotels manage their rooms.
“And in Asia, I think it’s not common to have a top sheet in the bed, so you are just supposed to raw dog the dirty duvet,” they added.
“At least in the hotel I worked at in Europe, you could sandwich yourself between the two sheets and not really touch the big blanket once you’re inside.
“Now every time I go to a hotel, I can’t touch these blankets lol. But I’m sure some are actually good and wash everything, I hope.”
The duvets aren’t the only thing that are kept unwashed, as they went on to explain that the pillows could be just as dirty.
“Also the pillows underneath those pillowcases are filthy, covered in yellow/brownish spots, but I’ve only seen that here in South Korea,” they explained. “The ones I’ve seen in the past seemed more waterproof. I’m grossed out lol, a pillowcase doesn’t feel like enough to separate myself from that.
“And now I still wear my flip flops in the shower like it’s a communal bathroom lol.”
Other people went to the comments to add their own thoughts, with one user saying: “Lol if you think the duvets are bad, think about the couches and stuff like that. Gets cleaned once a year, tops.”
Another person shared: “I used to do network installs at hotels. Don’t ever move the beds, it’s better not to know. Sometimes it’s used condoms, sometimes it’s puke, sometimes it’s both.”
