5 Unwritten Hostel Kitchen Rules You Should Know About

on

Hostels come with their own set of unwritten rules that might be confusing if you’re a newbie, and many of them apply to the shared kitchen. Respecting hostel kitchen etiquette during your stay is crucial, and here are a few rules you should know about, even if they haven’t been put in writing.

Use Food Labels

Labeling your food with your name, room number, and check-out date is a must if you’re leaving them in a hostel fridge because other guests can consider them free otherwise.

Free Food

Speaking of free food, hostels usually ask their guests to label food as free if they’re not going to use it. Don’t take any food that’s not labeled this way because stealing from other guests is a huge no-no.

Clean Up

You should always leave the hostel kitchen the way you found it. Don’t forget to wash your dishes, clean up after yourself, and sort your trash in proper recycling bins if available.

Fridge Space

You should also try not to take too much space in the fridge. Only buy what you need and don’t go overboard because you may not have enough space to store your food.

Quick & Easy Meal

The hostel kitchen is shared between many guests, so try not to use it for too long, and focus on preparing quick and easy meals.
