What should I do if the hotel formaldehyde exceeds the standard? Can I get a refund?

You can discuss with the person in charge of the hotel first. If negotiation fails, you can complain to the relevant departments and test the formaldehyde content in the hotel room. In general, rooms need ventilation for 3-6 months after renovation, so the requirements for hotels are the same. If the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, you can lodge a claim with the hotel.

The special pungent smell of formaldehyde leads to various uncomfortable symptoms such as sore throat, headache and nausea when the human body is exposed to a certain concentration of formaldehyde gas. Under normal circumstances, newly renovated houses contain high concentrations of formaldehyde. In addition, new houses with poor ventilation conditions may also have excessive formaldehyde.
