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.

When checking in at a motel or hotel, you can also try throwing a water bottle under the bed to test it. Throw the water bottle vigorously from this side of the bed. If there are people or obstacles underneath, the water bottle will not roll out. In that case, you can check under the bed yourself or ask someone to accompany you or contact the receptionist to check together.
