Hotels.com, a global website for booking hotel rooms online, has released its annual Hotel Room Insights Report, highlighting the most common items left behind by hotel guests and some of the most unusual room service requests.
According to the report, which is based on data from over 400 hotels worldwide, the most frequently forgotten items include phone chargers, dirty laundry, power adapters, makeup, and toiletries. In addition, 10% of hotels reported finding dentures left behind by guests.
Some of the more unusual items left behind in hotel rooms include a Rolex watch, a $6 million (Rs 50 crore) watch, a Hermes Birkin bag, luxury car keys and documents, a car tire, an engagement ring, a tooth, two full-leg casts, stacks of cash, a pet lizard, and a chick.
