Are there bed bugs in hotels in Malaysia and what to do?

Yes, as in any tropical country, you may occasionally encounter bed bugs in hotels in Malaysia. The risk exists even in places with decent ratings, so it's important to be vigilant.

What to do for prevention and if detected:

1. Check reviews: Before booking, read recent reviews not only on booking sites but also on Google Maps — people often write honestly about such issues there.
2. Inspect the room upon check-in: First, check the bed. Pull back the sheets and examine the seams of the mattress. Warning signs: small dark spots (fecal traces), shed skins, a specific sweetish odor.
3. Act immediately: If you find bed bugs or signs of their presence after check-in, go to the reception immediately. Demand a room change or a full refund.
4. Contact support: If the hotel administration refuses to resolve the issue, immediately write to the support service of the platform through which you booked (Trip.com, Booking.com, etc.). They usually intervene promptly and assist.
