Hotel Safety Tips For Solo Females: Is This Serious?
We all have our habits when staying at hotels. Some are logical, and some are a bit irrational. However, I’ve never seen anything quite like this before.

Some unusual safety tips for solo female travelers
There’s currently a video going viral sharing hotel safety tips for solo female travelers. In less than 24 hours, it has been viewed roughly eight million times (and counting) on X, in addition to lots of views on other platforms, including TikTok.
Let me start by acknowledging that many female travelers do face travel safety concerns that the average male traveler doesn’t have to deal with, so it’s smart to take precautions, and it’s helpful for travelers to share tips online. However, I’ve never seen anything quite like these tips before. In the 60-second video, the female solo traveler makes several recommendations for hotel room safety:
- Place big men’s shoes in front of the door, to make it look like there’s a man in the room
- Place the “do not disturb” sign on the door
- Cover the peephole with a tissue
- Lock the door, and use a portable lock for extra security
- Block the door by placing an ironing board against the door
- Install a door stop alarm, so if someone tries to break in, an alarm will sound
- Install a hidden camera in the room
- Use a spy detector mirror to check for hidden cameras
- Check every corner of the ceiling and walls, along with the phone, lights, sockets, switches, and ventilation openings, for any listening devices
- Use binoculars to look out the window and make sure no one is watching you
