put "no disturb" in your hotel room and confirm it to the reception. They'd not enter

I prefer if I don't have to tell the reception to not enter my room. In my opinion, this should be opt-in, rather than opt-out.

  I also prefer to have people reading my mind but communication helps. Plus most of the time switching a button to "no disturb" would do, I don't know what are you ranting about. So what if the Airbnb does daily cleaning? You don't talk to the host to ask to remove the service? > In my opinion, this should be opt-in, rather than opt-out. I'm pretty sure most people prefer to come back with a room cleaned up, if you really don't like it just communicate it, write in the form when you book or whatever is not that hard.

    It seems you are having trouble putting yourself in my shoes. I don't want to communicate to the reception to "not enter my room" because it feels rather awkward to say. The whole thing is just bad UX in my view. Of course your view may be different (or even most people's views), but that was not the point of my comment, of course.

  You don’t… have you stayed at a hotel before? You just put the do not disturb sign up that hangs off your door handle on the outside of your door…

  Default humans consider a tidied fresh room part of the package. You not wanting it makes you weird. So it's on you to move the little "Do Not Disturb" thing from inside door knob to outside. Telling reception won't work. Reception can't be bothered to communicate to house keeping who can't be bothered to figure out which house keeper will hit up your room and give them special instructions to not do their training.

    > So it's on you to move the little "Do Not Disturb" thing from inside door knob to outside. What if I wanted to leave my room and still leave my stuff in there without being moved/touched by hotel personel? A sign that says "do not disturb" makes no sense in that case.

      It literally makes perfect sense. Do not disturb (me, my room, my stuff).

        Only if "do not disturb" meant "do not enter", which is what I want the sign to mean.

        If you're really this anal about the verbiage, Amazon will sell you a solution: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GDBLYHM/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GDBLYHM/ For most normal people, "Do not disturb" and "Do not enter" on a door sign mean the same thing.

      You ever been to an hotel before?
      - amelius 4y ago
        Yes, many times and I generally hate the experience, even in the more expensive ones.

      What? It makes perfect sense. - Do not disturb : me the person in the room. - Do not disturb : the room and things within it. I've travelled -extensively- for my job. Usually 6 days at a time. I dislike daily housekeeping, so I just put the little DND sign on the door and from countless hotels have never had room service enter when they shouldn't have.
