Flight attendant warns to check hotel appliance before using for 'weird' reasons
Barbara Bacilieri has stayed in a number of hotels thanks to her job but admitted that you might not think of anything when making a hot drink in a hotel room.
When it comes to travelling the best bit is checking into a room and getting the chance to relax.
However, one flight attendant has revealed there is one hotel appliance that you might want to check before using it.
Barbara Bacilieri, from Argentina, has stayed in a number of hotels thanks to her job but admitted that you might not think of anything when making a hot drink in a hotel room.
Bacilieri told her 475,000 TikTok followers that you should ALWAYS check the kettle to make sure it is clean.
She said: "Always take a look inside the coffee pot. Before boiling water for making tea or coffee, think it through.

"It is said that some guests use the boiling jar for weird stuff, such as washing underwear, cooking sausages or even cleaning the menstrual cup!"
So the next time you're checking into a room, make sure to boil the kettle first and rinse it out before making a drink.
She continued: "You weren’t expecting this one, right? Just imagine how many other things guests do and we don’t know."

Another part of the room Bacilieri advised on checking in the room was the bed.
Despite thinking that it might be clean, you can never be 100% sure.
She said: "Before getting into bed, lift the sheets. Check for bugs or socks that other guests may have left behind."
The flight attendant added that she was shocked to hear some of the lengths people go to, to steal items from the hotel rooms. And we're not talking about the mini toiletries of shampoo and conditioner that are left in the bathroom.
"Some people think that everything that is in the room is free, or as they paid so expensive they have the right to take it," she added.
"The batteries from the remote control or worse, the light bulbs from the lights."
However, in the clip, she went on to add that while things such as tea, coffee and sugar are free to use and take the mugs and pillows are not so much.
"You wouldn’t believe how many guests take the hotel pillows home.
"And how many people have hotel towels at home? A lot."
Bacilieri finally joked that you should check the hotel room's safe just in case "you’re lucky and the previous guest forgot their millions."
