What’s up with hotel overbooking?

Overbooking: When a hotel is fully booked, it appropriately increases the number of reservations to make up for the idle rooms caused by temporary cancellations by a few guests. For example, there are only 20 available rooms in the Berjaya Hotel on a certain day, but the hotel accepted reservations for 30 rooms and overbooked 10 rooms.

Overbooking can effectively reduce the waste caused by vacant rooms and increase the hotel's revenue. For example, after Chenggong Hotel overbooked 10 rooms, 6 were temporarily canceled and 4 were not checked in. The overbooking just made up for the temporary cancellation and no-occupancy of the vacated rooms, thus avoiding the loss of room revenue.

Note when staying in a hotel:

Towels are the most likely to spread viruses. Once the previous person has a skin disease, the next person will not have strong resistance after using it and will be easily infected. Although disinfection cannot be guaranteed to be 100%. Because there are many steps to go through before the towel reaches the hotel room. Just in case, it is best to prepare a towel in advance, it is safer to use your own towel.

When entering the room, it is best to turn off the lights immediately, then take out your mobile phone and turn on the camera. Why turn on the camera? Of course, look for hidden cameras. Take your mobile phone and look at every corner at the head and foot of the bed, and look carefully to see if you see any red dot lights on the screen. If not, rest assured. Once you find a red dot light, it means there is a hidden camera.
