No water bottle? Use any small object—your deodorant, a sock, or even the room’s TV remote (just remember to wipe it off afterward). The goal is to get a glimpse of what lies beneath without having to crawl on the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions:
❓ Is this really necessary in a high-end hotel?
Yes! Even luxury hotels can miss spots during busy turnover times. It's less about brand and more about attention to detail.
❓ What do I do if I find something under the bed?
Report it to the front desk, especially if it’s trash, a lost item, or signs of pests. Most hotels will offer a room change or even an upgrade.
❓ Is this trick just for under the bed?
While under-bed checks are useful, feel free to extend your inspection to behind curtains, inside drawers, or bathroom corners.
With this simple travel hack, you’re not just tossing a water bottle—you’re tossing out assumptions about cleanliness. Next time you check in, give it a roll and see what rolls back.
