Guest Room Safety Card

📶 WiFi — be careful

• Ask the front desk for the hotel's exact WiFi name — a look-alike name (one letter different) may be a fake hotspot.
• On hotel/public WiFi avoid banking and entering card details. Use your mobile data for money apps.
• A WiFi login page asking for your email password or card number is a trap — no real hotel WiFi needs that.

💳 Card safety — the phone scam

• Never give your card number, expiry or CVV to anyone who calls your room — even if they say "front desk" or "payment problem". Real staff will never ask for these by phone.
• If they call: hang up politely and walk down to the front desk yourself.
• At shops and restaurants, try to see your card being swiped/tapped. Cover your PIN at ATMs and check for loose card readers (skimmers).
• Keep bank helpline numbers saved before you travel, so you can block a card fast.

🚪 Your room — small habits, big safety

• Use the peephole before opening. Keep the door locked and chained inside.
• Staff with a real reason (cleaning, repair) are confirmed at the desk — if someone knocks unannounced ("AC check", "police check"), call the front desk first on the number you have, then decide.
• Keep passports, extra cash and spare cards in the room safe; carry copies, not originals, around town.
• Post travel photos after you leave a place — not while you are still there.

🔥 Emergency exits — 60 seconds tonight

• Find the emergency exit map on your room door. Count the doors between your room and the stairs.
• In a fire: stairs, never the lift. Stay low in smoke. Take your key, touch the door for heat before opening.
• Save in your phone: the hotel front desk number, emergency police 15, rescue 1122 (verify local numbers on arrival).
