Quite a few requests from guests can really upset hotel staff.
Employees have now revealed exactly what these are.
In the hotel, guests are generally treated in a friendly manner by the staff and every wish is read from their eyes.
Nevertheless, over the years, hotel employees have built up a little suspicion of guests when they make certain inquiries.
The British online portal The Sun
, citing the
Sunday Times
, has compiled the demands that particularly annoy employees
.
Hotel employees no longer want to hear these inquiries from guests
Are you
friends with the owner of a hotel or hostel
? Then maybe you should keep it to yourself in front of the employees. According to them, guests are constantly trying to get an upgrade - which is quite annoying for the staff. It is similar with people who
hope
for free goodies because of a special occasion
: "The guests expect loads of gifts, because it is their fourth wedding anniversary or their 32nd birthday or because the cat has just died."
Complaints about an allegedly
non-working air conditioner
are not as well received by the hotel staff, as one explains. Most of the time you go into the room only to find that “the windows are wide open and the curtains are blowing”.

What hotel employees also find annoying, according to
The Sun
, is when guests react with huff when
asked about their credit or debit card
.
"When you check into the hotel, the receptionist will ask for your ID and credit or debit card," explains one employee.
“We're going to do a transaction with your card.
We authorize the payment, we don't charge it.
Yes, there is a difference. "

This is only a temporary measure.
Some hotels would block a kind of “deposit” of around 50 to 100 dollars per night per night - in the event that something breaks in the hotel room that the customer has to pay for.
If this is not the case, nothing will be charged.
It could take a few days, but the money would then be released to the guests.
So: "Stop yelling at us when we ask for your card," said the hotel employee.
