Smatrate li da se na putovanjima isplati štedjeti na smještaju, moglo bi vam se dogoditi da prenoćite u sobi bez prozora, s prljavim toaletom krevetom puni ušiju i grinja. Pritužbe gostiju odnose se i na umivaonike pune bljuvotine, vlagu i plijesan na stropovima, zahrđale slavine i uprljane ručnike
Specijalizirani web site za putovanja TripAdvisor.com objavio je listu najprljavijih hotela na svijetu, a ocjenjivali su ih gosti koji su, na svoju nesreću, u njima boravili.

Na listi se nalaze hoteli iz Azije, SAD-a, Velike Britanije, Italije, Španjolske, Francuske i Njemačke, dok hoteli iz drugih zemalja, pa tako i Hrvatske, nisu bili u konkurenciji.

 
Neki su gradovi prošli daleko lošije od drugih, pa su se tako hoteli u New Delhiju i Parizu zauzeli čak osam od deset mjesta najprljavijih u Indiji i Francuskoj. Najprljavijim hotelom u SAD-u proglašen je hotel Carter u New Yorku za koji je jedan gost napisao: ‘Otkrijte nove bolesti za vrijeme svog boravka – i to besplatno.’

Ni ostali nisu bili ništa manje kritični: ‘U hotelu Carter ne bih odsjeo ni da mi plate. Moja sigurnost i zdravlje su vrijedi puno više. Čak bih radije spavao vani s beskućnicima jer je i kartonska kutija sigurnija od ovoga mjesta.’

Jedan od gostiju najprljavijeg britanskog hotela Cromwell Crown iz Londona napisao je: ‘U prvoj sobi koju su mi dali umivaonik je bio prepun bljuvotine. Tražio sam drugu sobu koja je, na svu sreću, bila lišena ljudskih tekućina. No, imala je prstima u prljavštini na zidu napisano ‘Očisti me’. Izgledala je kao da nije preuređena zadnjih 30-ak godina i smrdjela je po dimu iako je bila riječ o sobi za nepušače.’

Njemački hoteli očito su najuredniji jer su navedena samo tri prljava hotela. ‘Tražili smo posvuda, priznajemo. Ali naši članovi nam kažu da nema puno prljavih hotela u njemačkoj’, napisali su urednici TripAdvisora koji za Njemačku nisu uspjeli sastaviti popis od 10 prljavih hotela.
