Dorm / Hostel: How to assert myself politely with roommates

7/14/2014 3:32:28 AM

Here are some tips I’ve gathered from staying in a lot of dorms:

If it’s possible, try and get a bottom bunk and put a sheet/towel up, creating a “tent”, so that if someone does turn the light on you aren’t as disturbed.

Lock your stuff – if lockers aren’t available, store everything on your bed during the day.

I’m not sure which countries you are staying in, but I would have thought that that smoking inside wouldn’t be an option. If it is a problem, discuss with the check-in desk to see if you can change to a non-smoking room.

Your best bet is to introduce yourself during day hours, be nice and cheerful, explain that you’re working etc and that you appreciate they’re on their holidays but if they could be quiet you’d be really happy. If you come across happy and carefree rather than grumpy and dominant then you’ll have a good time.
