When to ask for a number change: tips to protect your privacy

When people go on individual trips, they should carefully monitor security conditions and insist on better services. In particular, this is directly related to hotel reservations and check-ins.

Patrice, a blogger and content creator, shared on TikTok how to stay in a hotel and what to look for to avoid worrying about your safety. The woman notes that although some may take it lightly, these tips are important for single girls, The Independent reports.

Patrice says that hotel lobbies can be full of people who have nothing to do with the hotel, and that's why the receptionist should never give you your room number. However, if this happens, you have every right to ask for a room change, and experienced staff should be sympathetic to your request.

"Let them know politely. "Hey, can I change the number?" Don't make a big deal out of it, it's fine, but (say): "You know, hey, can I change my room? I just wish they wouldn't announce my room number out loud." And that's it," the woman advises.

It is noted that in this way, travelers, and especially women traveling alone, will be able to ensure their privacy and avoid attracting unwanted attention once again. This is just one of the ways to avoid possible human trafficking or other illegal activities that can happen to unprotected tourists in an unfamiliar country.
