To have never stripped a hotel bed

[rockaround]

I've just been reading a post on Facebook about a man who always strips his bed before leaving his hotel. There's comment after comment (probably around 95%) of people saying that they always strip the bed too.

I always make sure the room is clean and tidy and I put the towels together but I have never stripped the bed. Does everyone do this and I am a bad guest?

YABU- stop being lazy and strip the bed
YANBU - I don't do this either

I would just prefer people left the room more or less as they found it, not impose their housekeeping habits on me.

they are just trying to be helpful, and not leave you all the work.
It's considered polite - and actually very rude not to strip the bed.

If you don't tell them, they can't guess.

If they knew you keep the same unwashed bedding for several people, they might not come back anyway!

I do not consider it polite to strip the bed. I might not want to do the laundry that day and you're imposing a bundle of used sheets and a bare mattress on me. I use that spare room for other things and it looks tidier with the bedlinen on. Stop fussing at my house.

No I don't. It seems a bit passive aggressive - feels a bit like being told your house/establishment is so minging you need the extra help (and as PPs have said it can disrupt a well oiled routine).

I would hate it if a guest did this in my house. Firstly they might have only stayed a single night and will also be the next guests back so the sheets don't need changing at all. It's just making more pointless work for me.

If we are having a different guest and/or there is a long gap between guests I prefer to change the bedding just before they arrive so it's laundry fresh rather than getting a bit dusty in the interim! Otherwise I'd end up changing it twice which again is more pointless work for me. I have enough to do already.
