“The room was declared a biohazard.”

guests and hotel workers provide their jaw-dropping stories below.

“A bathtub full of turnips.”

A crate filled with fresh turnips at an outdoor market

I got up in the morning and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The curtain had been bunched against the wall.

I got undressed, turned the water on, and pulled the curtain fully across the tub.

When I did, it exposed a bloody handprint on the white curtain.

It scared the living shit out of me.

I noped hard out of there and skipped the shower, leaving as fast as possible.

As I checked out, I told the front desk employee about the handprint.

“I heard the most blood-curdling of screams coming from the rooms.

I ran up and found a very traumatized housekeeper.

As she flicked the bedding (to change the bed), unbeknownst to her was a used condom.

A roll of toilet paper hanging on a holder against a tiled bathroom wall

This flicked up in the air and landed on her head.

She was frozen in fear and screaming.

I had to help her by picking it off her.

Understandably, she had the rest of the day off.”

“Not a worker, but I used to travel for work.

Once, we were checking into our rooms, and a coworker and I were going to her room.

She opened the door, and there were two people living in the room.

They were prostitutes who were friends with the housekeeper.

They were given keys to use empty rooms.”

“Former hotel front desk.

Yeah, it was nasty.

Poop was thrown on the ceiling, smeared on the walls, and on the floor.

The bathroom had poop in the tub.

The poop wasnt just in the bathroom; most of it was in the living area.”

“A large sack full of pinecones.

We do not have any pine trees nearby so they had to have brought them with.

It confuses and haunts me to this day.”

“I had a lady check in early and ask for a late check out.

She still hadnt checked out by 2 pm and wouldnt come out of the room.

When we were about to have her escorted out, she finally left.

In the room were hundreds of little white-out bottles everywhere.

“I worked in a cheap hostel in Lisbon about ten years ago.

We had this very odd guest who’d speak in a super low voice and walk really slowly.

He’d also leave random bits of toilet paper around the hostel.

Once, the cleaning lady found him in his room completely rolled in toiled paper.”

“Dried shit in the bed twice and almost 1,000 miles apart.

A stack of porn mags.”

“As a guest, I checked into a room in California.

I turned on the wall-mounted AC unit, and a dirty needle fell out the bottom.

Then we order a cot for our kid.

We roll it into the room, open it up, and multiple cockroaches fall out and scurry away.

We got our money back and adios immediately.”

It was stored in tons of plastic water bottles varying different brands like Polish Springs or Dasani.

Once, I also found 16 severed fingers in a trash can in a guy’s room.”
