That doesn't have a keyhole... From the outside!
DH family are stopping by at ours after a gathering and very nosy. I wouldn't put it past them to 'accidentally' wander into a different room despite knowing where the toilet is!

Please share your wisdom MN!
I've had a Google but it all seems to be things like bars across the door. I was really hoping for a lock thing of some sort

Maybe just move your hostages chair against the door and you climb out the window? Seriously need to know what’s in the room -

My first thought was a cabin hook, but when I googled I also found these from IKEA: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/undvika-multi-latch-white-40339867/?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwyo60BhBiEiwAHmVLJQUvsjJdxrlN2tk6yX350zFouEi8aW6igu7Afr2dqtncBywq664TuBoC4K4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Sure, they could undo it easily but it would be very obvious so possibly a deterrent?

UNDVIKA white, Multi latch. Use this multi-latch to lock drawers, fridges and doors – anything that could seem inviting to open for small, curious children. You simply fix it around the edge of the door or drawer you want to lock.
