don’t let these comments gaslight you. I’m in design college rn and if I turned in something like this, I’d get a terrible mark. If you have to memorize what’s in a bottle, the label is useless
The housekeepers at my hotel have to make sure the irons don't have any water in them between guests because they don't know if the last person took a piss in it. People are gross
It absolutely fucking DOES suffice! There’s no reason whatsoever for putting your panties in the coffee maker! JFC that’s disgusting! Anyone saying otherwise is a sociopath.
Just like that one freak on TikTok who was washing her dirty underwear in the coffee pot in her room. I believe the hotel ended up replacing all of their coffee pots and then they sued her I think.
I used to be a hotel cleaner and I hated the one hotel I worked at that had big bottles like this for guests. I'd always open them and inspect them/smell them and sometimes they smelled like piss and I'd throw them all out. I kept bringing it up to my boss like maybe we should just go back to single use bottles because people keep pissing in the shampoo and they insisted that it's too much of a cost saver to have bulk bottles like this. I was like ok... guess I'll just keep throwing out litres of shampoo every day because they're full of piss....
The last hotel I stayed at had wall mounted dispensers that needed a key to open. I liked that idea. You get the perks of bulk with less plastic waste but no risk of people tampering with it.
I’m literally at a hotel right now for a meeting tomorrow morning and I didn’t bring shampoo conditioner or shower gel because I always use the hotel ones fml
People did a lot of gross stuff. I frequently got in trouble for not turning over rooms fast enough but at least once per shift there would be a room with like puke and shit and blood all over it and I was still expected to be in and out of there in 20 minutes haha. The one time someone left so many needles throughout the room we ended up having to remove all the furniture because they shoved needles in between cushions and embedded them in the mattresses. They like booby trapped the entire room with needles. We had to call in a special company to clear the entire room out it was rank
I havent stayed at a motel since I booked a room at one and there was 2 inch hole drilled through the floor into the room below. I looked down the hole out of curiosity and made eye contact with the person in the room below who Im assuming was looking up the hole out of curiosity. It was too late at night to find somewhere else so i just put a sock in it and called it good, but I wasnt thrilled about it lol
For the first time in 30 years, I feel proud of myself for never creating harm in a hotel room. Last time for me was at 10 years old rubbing the bar of soap on every glass surface. I felt bad about it an hour later, and I still feel bad about it now.
I had no idea this was a thing.. now I understand why the bulk products my hotel uses have sealed caps! They are supposed to be replaced when they reach 1/4 full. But… mostly the guests call up, “pissed” that they checked in and find them empty… lol
This is why the tiny, sealed bottles that are replaced each time should be standard hotel protocol. Sheets and towels can be sanitized in the wash between guests. Nobody is sanitizing the shared toiletries.
Wtf? Literally never seen or smelled or heard of that in any hotel I’ve worked in. What state was this in so I know? 👀 I usually buy my own anyways, but yeah idk this is just really weird.
Absolutely no way in hell were you throwing away liters of shampoo daily. I believe that it happens every now and then, but for liters a day you’d have to be coming across multiple piss-filled bottles each day. Depending on the hotel, the average cleaner will do 10-20 rooms a day. So you’re talking somewhere between 10-20% of the room you clean would have pee in the shampoo. Not buying that for a second and don’t know why you’re fear mongering shampoo
yeah mate idk what to tell you the guests were mostly backpackers and they are gross people in general and drunk 99% of the time doing hooligan shit. piss bottles doesn't really sound too far fetched for me
I used to be a hotel housekeeper and the large bottles we had couldn't be opened. If you opened it to tamper with it, you'd break the nozzle. It would be immediately obvious if they were tampered with.
We went with the big ones because people have this idea that travel sized ones are unlimited. Obviously, take the ones that are in your room, and maybe ask for another set too. But most people don't stop there. People were stealing them by the dozens, even taking them off housekeeper carts, and we were spending well into the 6 figures a year on shampoo alone. When we switched to larger ones, the problem stopped.
Also the bottles were collected when empty and sent back to the manufacturer who would recycle them, sans nozzle.
I stay in hundreds as well a year. This thought never crossed my mind until now.... Be right back while I go throw up and look back at all my life decisions.
Hmmm... worked in a Hilton. We kept them in a lock box on tbe wall so they couldn't be stolen. Didnt think they also did that so they couldn't be tampered with.
They love to put these on your side so you can elbow and run into them too. Literally put them on the same wall as the shower head or further down the wall. Stop putting them where I run into them.

This is terrible packaging design. It should be very clear what each is by a glance. Color coding or making each very clear through good graphic design.
I almost used these once. Then I read the super small, light print that said “eucalyptus”. I’m allergic to eucalyptus and I was also mildly infuriated.
I don't wear glasses and even I take a few seconds to really study the bottles to figure out which is which. And it's not just Courtyard that does this.
I only wear glasses for computer work and close up. At least make the important words big like SHAMPOO. The north 39 degrees can be small cause I don't care about that.
It might be my OCD but isn't the middle label lower than the other two. It's really bothering me. Also, I wear glasses and am pretty blind without them. It's the colors I go by not text in the shower. No way would I know which is which until I squeeze some out of those bottles
On one hand, just look closer, unless you can’t see close distances then it’s kind of over for you. On the other, I thought you were going to say the infuriating thing was how these are bolted to the walls, which is the part that annoys me.
I'd rather they be bolted to the walls and made difficult to tamper with than worry I got this room after a "prankster" had it who decided to add their special sauce to the bottle.
I stayed at a hotel that had these, but the order was "shampoo, body wash, conditioner". I had to get very close to the bottle to make sure I used the right one.
They’re always laid out the exact same way, and you can read them before getting into the shower and remember where they’re placed. I don’t inspect each bottle before I use it in the shower lol
They're not always laid out this way. A hotel I was at recently had them laid out as wash, shampoo, conditioner left to right. They were similarly visually identical.
Yes, OP could memorize the layout of his hotel, so he can fumble around like Mr. Magoo.
Or, the bottles could be easier to distinguish. My shampoo and conditioner have the same bottle design, but the pumps are different colors.
Comments like yours are so bleh. The post was in the spirit of the sub, OP was just complaining, he wasn’t looking for a whole serious ass answer about memorizing hotel bottles.
There isn’t anything wrong with this in a private bathroom.
A hotel is a space used by very many different types of people. Including people who don’t speak English, can’t read, can’t see well, are drunk, or have other impairments.
It would be an easy thing to make their lives slightly less difficult by having a clear label both linguistically as well as pictographically.
This annoys me even in my own home… my wife comes home with Tresemme pump bottle shampoo and conditioner and you have to pick them up and closely read the label for the small print that says “shampoo” or “conditioner” among all the other words like “repairs damaged hair” “moisturizing” etc etc. plus the logo and all the other crap.
Just put “POO” and “COND” in big print on the top of the bottle since I’m looking down at it in the steam with all my nudities showing and I just wanna wash my damn hair.
Castile soap will leave a lot of residue in your hair that will make it tangle and give it a dull, almost dirty appearance. It’s not a substitute for shampoo and/or conditioner unless you have extremely short hair.
I like the lavender. I bring it to use as a bottle of hand soap because I absolutely hate the hotel bar soaps that they usually put by the sink for handwashing.
Personally hate the feeling of the peppermint but pro tip on the mini Bronners - it’s an elite move and non toxic! The orange one I find does a better job removing heavy grime and oil if you do dirty work.
I wear my glasses in the shower about 75% of the time because I can't see what I'm doing otherwise. That said, I'm mostly grossed out by those bottles because I have no way of knowing what mightve been done to them prior to my arrival. I'll bring my own shampoo and soap, you keep your maybe-shes-born-with-it-maybe-its-full-of-jizz to yourself. 🤮
Always bring my other toiletries after hearing one my guy friends talk about how he and his college hockey team used to piss in the bottles of hotel-provided toiletries.
Horrible design. Sure, you can check it before you get in the shower and blah blah whatever, but I also hate the trend of hotels doing this. I have no idea what was actually put in those bottles, and even worse, no idea if a hotel guest has tampered with them. I do not ever use those toiletries, but the bullshit design is enough to make it stupid as hell.
I wear glasses while showering, I hate the feeling of not seeing correctly, it makes me anxious and not safe, lol.
But it wouldn’t even help with the water and part steam on them.
The design isn’t good at all.
I ignore these and use my own. But first thing I do is throw all the little bottles of soaps, hair care, shower caps, etc in a ziploc. They are the perfect tricks for trick-or-treating 😈
Here's my complaint with these: I am allergic to lavender. I am not anaphylaxis allergic (yet) but it will be very unpleasant for me. This is an allergy I developed in adulthood (about 8 years ago) so it's still not instinctive for me to check ingredients. More so, it's not instinctive for me to wrestle a bottle off the wall, hold it at the correct distance from my eyes in proper lighting to be able to see the word "lavender" when all I want from a hotel bathroom is to be clean before I can be horizontal.
I had to start bringing my own toiletries in every trip after my second accidental lavendering.
Other brands do this too. The type of product should be written larger. And faded white???
I have to put mine in the order of use or else squint.
For me however they are in the order I’d use them. First shampoo, then conditioner, then body clean.
I made a post a while back about not seeing in the shower, and I was blasted by people claiming I'm the weird one for taking my glasses off. Apparently EVERYBODY wears glasses in the shower to clean them...
Who doesn’t bring their own shampoo when they travel? I bring my own soap, shampoo, and toothpaste. Why would you rely on a random hotel providing you with those essentials?

Thanks guys. I wasn’t concerned about piss in my hotel soap bottles until now.
