Shocking Video Of Hotel Housekeeping

A video is circulating the web of a hotel housekeeper rummaging through a guest’s belongings.

This video was apparently taken on November 5, 2014, at a US hotel, and based on the room design it looks to me like a Hampton Inn (though I could be wrong).

In the video a housekeeper is seen:

  • Looking at the guest’s package (okay, that sounds weird) a package the guest received
  • Trying to log into the guest’s computer multiple times
  • Looking at the guest’s video games and tablet
  • Using the same gloves to make the bed that she used in the bathroom

Interestingly the housekeeper doesn’t take anything. Obviously the situation is unacceptable, though I’m especially curious about her multiple attempts to access the laptop. Did she realize she was being filmed, and then tried to turn the camera off? That certainly doesn’t justify her trying to access a guest’s computer, though I’m trying to figure out what other spin there could be on what she was trying to do on the computer.

Regardless, the video is kind of disturbing. Living in hotels, and being a mild germ/security-phobe, I usually operate under the philosophy that what I don’t know can’t hurt me.

And now I know…

What I always do is to take everything with me when I go out of the hotel.

You guys really think that firing this lady would solve the underlying issue? There is obviously no monitoring of this activity in hotels (it's just dependent on the housekeeper). Willing to bet more than half the housekeepers would be functioning in this mode.

Geez, I have to second/third others that you failed to mention her putting pillows on the floor and then picking them up -- a huge no-no. And using gloves to clean everything? Sure hope she didn't clean the bathroom with them on. Would be interesting to know what the hotel chain did to this lady.

And that's why I always put up the Do Not Disturb sign. If I need anything I'll catch them in the hall at some point during the day.

I always ask for no housekeeping for this reason and because I hate when I come back and everything is how I want it and then everything is disturbed. Housekeeping can be good too, but I would not leave anything out that could get napped.
