Travel Info What security measures should I take when staying in hostels? Travel Tips try to pick a secure hostel. In an urban hostel, there should be a secure entrance. Either a person watching the door, or a key for guests, or both. Transportation should be nearby, so no long walks at night. A hostel that does not allow guests is good . Keep your money and passport on you. Sleep with them. Take them to the shower with you. If they offer a safe for valuables, use it. Make sure the place has lockers if you are worried about your bag. Ask other travelers about places they have been and how safe they were. Word gets around fast. Just use some common sense and keep you eyes open. Most people staying there and working there will be nice people. You just never know who everyone is and what they are up to. Others wear pajamas to bed Watch the movie Hostel and avoid everything they do wrong. Or just accept that there are some risks. it depends very much on the hostel some you can almost leave 100 dollars on your bed for 2 days and others it will be gone in 5 minutes but the overall common sense is travel light and travel with others who can watch your back and carry all your valuables with you Make use of any supplied lockers for valuables. Don't leave anything visible; keep your stuff in your suitcase/bag. Keep your passport, wallet and other valuables in a locker or a safe. You might be in a room with half a dozen of complete strangers. Sure they'd also be female but (most hostiles at least...) look plain and simple, and if you are travelling with a friend; don't walk around alone at night. After you walk in, just walk right out. Don't be cheap and jeopardize the fun you should be having. |
