Time for a Staycation! Here Are 5 Safety Tips When Staying in a Hotel

Hooray! It’s time to have some fun while (of course) keeping yourself safe. If you’ve been stuck at home all this time, you can try a staycation! 🙂 

Most major cities are open to domestic tourism now. Bali, Jogja, Semarang, Banyuwangi, and other cities across the archipelago. We can explore our own country as a local tourist! Although the virus is still around us, we can always protect ourselves while on a vacation. We’ll give you some tips on how to stay safe during your staycation.

Chill and Relax! Enjoy Your Staycation

Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your time in a hotel with your loved ones.

1. Physical distancing in public areas

Physical distancing is a must when you’re outside, including when you are in a staycation! Stay at least 1.5 meters away from other people. Starting from the time you enter the hotel’s lobby, in the restaurant, in the public bathroom, or other public areas. If you keep a safe distance from others, you can minimize the risk of catching coronavirus. 

2. Bring hand sanitizer and face masks

Don’t forget to wear masks if you’re in public areas. Bring an extra face mask and hand sanitizer in your bag. If you touch high traffic areas and frequent touchpoints such as chairs, tables, or lift buttons, you can immediately use your hand sanitizer to keep your hands clean.

3. Order room service

Nowadays, many restaurants are serving digital menus, so people don’t need to touch the physical menu. This protocol is good if you prefer to enjoy a good meal in the hotel’s restaurants.

However, if you prefer to eat from the comfort of your room, you can order room service! At times like this, most hotels will put extra service to serve people who want to order food to their room. Probably you can even ask if they have a special discount? 😉 

4. Ask for a room that hasn’t been occupied for several days

This is a great and simple tip for you: find a room that is vacant for a few days. If you have time, you can write a note when you book a hotel or call the hotel before you check-in. Request for the room that has not been occupied for a few days, so you can feel safer.

5. Choose a hotel with tiket CLEAN

The last tip from tiket.com is to book a room in a hotel that has partnered with tiket.com. You can choose the one with tiket CLEAN label. Basically, a hotel that is labeled with tiket CLEAN means it has implemented health and safety protocols so the guests can feel comfortable and safe when staying there. There are many hotels in Indonesia that have put extra attention to this matter.
