Think you've seen every hotel guest faux pas? Think again.
New research has revealed some of the strangest habits travellers admit to while away from home, from sneaking food out of the breakfast buffet to washing underwear in kettles and squeezing extra guests into rooms.
Hotels.com partnered with British etiquette expert William Hanson to launch its 'Grand Etiquette Hotel Guide', a list of 10 practical dos and don'ts for navigating modern hotel manners, from breakfast buffet protocol and the blurred lines around stealing from hotel rooms.
The hotel booking platform’s study was conducted online and gathered responses from 2,000 British adults.
The findings show that one in three hotel guests admit to smuggling food from the breakfast buffet to snack on later in the day, and more than a third of respondents say they regularly enter the wrong number of guests when booking to keep costs down.
