As much as we’re all special, individual snowflakes from different cultures and creeds, we are bound as humans by certain rules of decency and hygiene, all of which are self-explanatory
Living in a shared space means being considerate of everyone around you. Follow these guidelines to keep the vibe awesome for everyone
Your mom isn’t here to clean up after you, so throw rubbish into the bins and clean up after yourself
Treat the hostel bathroom like your own. Dispose of trash properly, aim well, and if you feel sick, hit the toilet—not the sink or shower
Bathrooms are limited. Keep your showers quick and make sure there’s hot water left for everyone
No one wants to stumble upon your private moments. Keep romantic activities out of the dorm room. There are better places for that
When watching movies in your room or common area. If you have to make a call, head to the common area or go outside. Turn off phone notifications at night to keep the peace
People need their sleep. Keep noise to a minimum in the dorm room, especially late at night and early in the morning. Use a flashlight instead of turning on the lights
Use the lockers provided to keep your stuff safe. Don’t leave valuables lying around
Hostels are great for meeting people. Be friendly and open, but respect when others need their space or alone time
Clean up after yourself. Label your food and respect others’ labelled items. Don’t be the person who takes someone else’s snack
