Was on short vacation to Bintan Island with friends.
I was there for 3day 2night stay, this happened on second night when i returned from dinner and chill out session with friends.
When i returned to my room at 1030pm, the moment i opened the hotel room door, i noticed a strong cigarette smell gushing out from the door. As soon as i slot in my room key, lights came on and to my horror, the connecting room door was open.
I was in shock for awhile before i called the reception to inform on the incident.
The hotel staff came shortly, handed us a new set of key to another room.
The hotel staff evaluated the room and he too agree the cigarette smell was definately there. He checked on the connecting door and he realised the knob was faculty, which explained how the neighbour from next door got into our room.
To be frank, I was really upset this happened, i had strong feeling of privacy being intruded.
But what to do, i can only blame myself for not checking on the door when i checked in the room.
I hope to share my experience, whenever check into hotel always check that the connecting door is not faculty.
Not all hotel will take responsibility.
