Would you like to learn something else about hotels ?
You can leave your questions in the comments and I ’ ll try to answer them .

When we travel, hotels become our temporary homes. And we want to sleep in a soft bed with clean sheets. After long walks and business meetings, we don’t want to argue with receptionists about non-functioning hairdryers. I’m a person that knows a lot about the behind-the-scenes of the hotel business. For several years, I’ve managed a mini-hotel and I have some things I can share with you.
So today, especially for Bright Side, I will share some secrets of my work. Some of them will hopefully be useful for you and others will just make you smile.
It is believed that in hotels, the bed covers are washed rarely and coffee machines are dirty. Maybe that’s the case for big hotels, but in smaller hotels, cleanliness is very important. When you have just 8 rooms, no pool, and no restaurant, all you can do is clean all the rooms. This is why the bed covers are washed almost as often as the bed linens — at least once a week, and the coffee machine is cleaned every day. The same goes for the plates in the rooms — they are washed every day, whether they were used or not.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the curtains. How often do you wash the curtains at home? If you are not allergic to dust, I would guess, once a year, on average. Hotels do it once a year, which is not very often.
Rooms are always cleaned before a new guest arrives, but there’s another trick. A few hours before the guest comes, maids wash everything in the room with polish. They pour some nice-smelling liquid into the toilet and flush the water. So, the room looks and smells as if it’s just been cleaned.
In order to make guests hungry in the morning and stimulate them to order breakfast, the manager always makes coffee. The smell of coffee in the lobby is very strong and everyone instantly feels hungry.
Try not to drink the instant coffee and bagged tea that is free. They are the cheapest possible products because they are free for the guests. They are usually offered to clients while they are waiting to check-in. In our hotel, we served very good coffee for breakfast, but it wasn’t free.
Small hotels don’t have kitchens. They don’t have much space and if they do, they will build another room instead of a kitchen. All you can hope for in a small hotel is a microwave oven you can use to heat up some food.
If you are booking a hotel and you see a warning that smoking is prohibited, it means it’s really prohibited. Almost all hotels have smoke detectors that will trigger an alarm if there’s smoke. But we can still smell the smoke, even if there’s no alarm. We’ll know you smoked anyway. Please, don’t do this.
There are many articles online about how to find a hidden camera in a hotel room. According to studies, 1 in 10 people actually find cameras in their rooms. However, hotel owners can only put cameras in lobbies, corridors, and other places, but not in toilets or rooms. A hotel that cares about its reputation will never do that.
Every hotel, even the smallest one, has free services. Our hotel always offered free hairdryers and slippers, every room had shampoo, soap, and shower gels. And we would always print something out for our guests, or call a taxi. Small hotels don’t have lists of free services, but you should always ask the receptionists. Something may be free in one hotel and not free in another.
Overbooking is great for hotels and a nightmare for guests. This is when we sell more rooms than we really have: so even if someone cancels their reservation, the room will be booked anyway. But sometimes, nobody cancels their reservations, so there are more people than we can take. Of course, this is our fault and we offer them bonuses — like free breakfasts or higher-class rooms for the same price. We collaborated with a nearby hotel where we could guide our “extra” guests if necessary.
Every hotel tries to impress clients somehow, in order to make them regular clients. It’s harder for small hotels: they don’t have such a big list of cool services. This is why in our hotel, we thought that hospitality was our biggest advantage. The manager would always talk to clients if they wanted to chat and tell them about the best places in town.
Hotel managers are incredibly polite with all of their clients, even with those that are rude for no reason. Trust me, if you are a kind and polite person, you will definitely be remembered when you come stay with us the next time.
In small hotels, you might not only see the manager, but also the owner, at the reception desk. They answer calls, talk to guests, and do many other things. I had to change bed linens, clean bathrooms, and set up TVs. This is part of the job in a small hotel.
Hotel owners are working, even when they are not in the hotel. There’s always something to do: buy paint for the walls, plant flowers... Once, I even painted a bench in the street next to the hotel because it looked bad. So if someone thinks that hotel owners just take in money and do nothing, this is completely untrue.
Some guests just look for something to criticize. They check every corner of the room looking for dust and dirt. Does this behavior make us angry? Not really because I know that these people don’t have any actual reason to criticize us.
Many guests are worried that good reviews are written by the hotel owners and employees to improve their rating. In some services like Google Maps, anyone can write a review and that’s not a good thing. But on websites like Booking and Airbnb, it’s only once you have a confirmation of the reservation that you can write a review, and this is only after you check out. Believe me, a regular hotel will never create a fake reservation just to write a review. So if you want real reviews, go to these websites.
Sometimes guests look absolutely happy and satisfied, and after they check out, they write bad reviews about broken hairdryers or broken heaters. It’s better to tell us about these problems while you’re still in the hotel, because we can fix this. You will definitely get a different hairdryer or an additional blanket.
Bonus № 1: Sometimes guests can make mistakes, but the way they make up for them is amazing.
Once, some young guys celebrated Christmas at our hotel. They had a lot of fun, but they turned the hotel into a nightmare: they got the rooms really dirty, they had fights, and they even broke each other’s noses. And there was so much trash! But the most amazing thing was that they offered to clean up after themselves. They were really ashamed of their behavior and they really scrubbed the floors and took out the trash.
Bonus № 2: Most people are good, but there are some bad people too.
On the very first day when our hotel opened, we were robbed. It was a regular lady who had a room reservation. She said she was just going to wash her hands and leave her things, and then come back in the evening. She spent several minutes in the room and then left with one bag. She didn’t return. Late that night, the manager decided to call her, but she didn’t respond. The room was opened and we saw that the TV was gone. How she dismounted it from the wall in just 5 minutes, we have no idea. And it was a really cheap TV.
Bonus № 3: Some people are absolutely amazing.
We had a guest from Germany. He had a whole box of amazing German chocolate that he kept giving to the receptionists. Then, the manager started sharing the chocolates with me. The guy just wanted to do something nice for us and we were really grateful for that.

The next year promises to be rich with exciting premiers involving both top-ranking actors and fresh young talent. For example, it was announced that Kristen Stewart would play Princess Diana in a biographical movie called Spencer. People’s opinions have been split — some are expecting an ingenious performance from Stewart, while others are sure that the movie will fail because of the actress’s controversial past. We, however, are not going to make any assumptions — instead, we’ll just patiently wait for the movie’s release and judge the actress’s performance for ourselves.
We at Bright Side don’t like to jump to conclusions. That’s why while everyone is busy debating over who’d play the role of the famous princess the best, we’re going to show you past controversial portrayals of historical figures that were warmly received by both fans and serious critics.
1. Steve Carell / John du Pont
Steve Carell, the famous comedic actor who many viewers are used to seeing in naive, and even foolish roles, suddenly appeared in the movie Foxcatcher, where he played a reserved and sinister millionaire. When the movie was released in Toronto and gained enthusiastic reviews, Carell told the press why the movie studio chose him. He said, “My public persona is sort of a benign one — as was du Pont’s. It was beneficial to the movie to have someone who you wouldn’t necessarily think could do something horrible, as no one expected du Pont to do the thing that he did.” Both critics and viewers highly regarded the actor’s work. He was nominated for many prestigious awards including an Oscar.
2. Jennifer Lopez / Selena
The biopic about one of the most influential Latin American singers of all time, who tragically died at 23, faced a storm of discontent from the Mexican media over the choice of Jennifer Lopez for the lead role since she wasn’t Mexican American (the actress has Puerto Rican roots). There were even protests that upset the film crew. However, most people from Selena’s motherland supported Lopez and as a result, she brilliantly nailed the role and won one of the 2 Golden Globe nominations in her career.
3. Kristen Stewart / Princess Diana
A Chilean director is going to shoot the movie Spencer, which is dedicated to Princess Diana, and the main role will be played by Kristen Stewart. Written by Steven Knight, the movie is about a turning point that took place over a weekend in the early ’90s, when Diana decided that her marriage to Prince Charles was essentially ruined and that she needed to diverge from that path. The drama unfolds within 3 days, during her last Christmas vacation in the Sandringham mansion. It’s expected that the production of the movie will start at the beginning of 2021. Stewart, in her right, has proven herself to be a versatile actress after starring in the Twilight franchise. That’s why, despite the dissatisfaction of the princess’s fans, we are expecting an interesting portrayal of Diana.
4. Val Kilmer / Jim Morrison
Initially, fans suggested tons of rock star candidates from the ’80s and ’90s for the movie about the cult frontman of the band, The Doors. But the studio unexpectedly chose an unknown actor named Val Kilmer for that role. The movie was considered to be a failure before its release because people thought the idea of that actor playing Morrison was a joke. But Kilmer was inimitable and critics still call this role the best in his carrier.
5. Angelina Jolie / Mariane Pearl
The screen adaption of the French journalist Mariane Pearl’s memoirs, known as A Mighty Heart, has encountered many unpleasant situations. Opting for Angelina Jolie as the main role left the public confused as the real Pearl is half-Dutch and half-Cuban, and Jolie didn’t look like her at all. But Pearl herself confirmed that Jolie was her top choice for the role, saying: “I have heard some criticism about her casting, but it is not about the color of your skin. It is about who you are. I asked her to play the role — even though she is way more beautiful than I am—because I felt a real kinship to her.” Jolie repaid the trust that was put in her. Though the movie itself was widely criticized, the acting was highly regarded. The actress was even nominated for a Golden Globe for “Best Female Role.”
6. Christopher Eccleston / John Lennon
The biographical movie, Lennon Naked, tells the story of John Lennon’s life in the period of 1967 to 1971. Christopher Eccleston played the role of The Beatles’ frontman and his acting was accepted quite ambiguously. Some of Lennon’s and Eccleston’s fans believed that the movie had too much of naked Lennon but the actor answered, “It’s a version for the late-night audience. I think you just have to look at him as a human being, as a character, and not worry too much about the fact he’s a godhead.”
7. Robert Downey, Jr. / Charlie Chaplin
Robert Downey, Jr. was nominated for an Academy Award for “Best Actor” for his role in the movie, but it was Al Pacino who outpaced him that year. The British Movie Academy, BAFTA, decided that the actor deserved awards in the same category. Later, Downey said that copying “The Tramp” (Chaplin’s best-known on-screen persona) was his biggest challenge. It was also his most impressive accomplishment. Chaplin’s image came out true and touching, despite the fact that he got a lot of criticism for it.
8. Alberto Testone / Michelangelo
It was quite a difficult task to choose the actor for this role, but the director of the movie, Andrei Konchalovsky, said, “Regarding the casting process: there were some difficulties, we have seen many actors and could hardly find the one for the leading role.” They needed an actor with a broken nose like Michelangelo’s. Due to this fact, most Italian actors failed to be considered for the main role right off the bat, and the studio had to search for the main actor among boxers. However, they managed to find a dental technician, Alberto Testone. He perfectly succeeded in fulfilling the image of the creative force from the Renaissance who was tormented by the confrontation of influential families, among other things.
9. Nicholas Hoult / John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
The release of the biopic Tolkien started with a scandal. J.R.R. Tolkien’s family and the Tolkien estate said they wished to “make clear that they did not approve of, authorize, or participate in the making of the film. They do not endorse it or its content in any way.” This statement was published in the British press several days prior to the premiere. Furthermore, the movie wasn’t very well received by critics, but audiences turned out to be more supportive and even outlined that “Nicholas Hoult seems the most wise option for the roles of real, real special writers.”
10. Taron Egerton / Michael Edwards
The movie Eddie the Eagle got mostly positive reviews from critics and Taron Egerton’s acting was received warmly. Some reviews read: “Taron Egerton plays Eddie with just the right mix of dork, daredevil, and dreamer,” while others said: " Meanwhile, Egerton’s shticky, stylized performance grows on us; we appreciate the character’s delusion and determination." Indeed, the chemistry between Egerton and the venerable Hugh Jackman gave audiences a lot of cheerful and happy emotions.
11. Michael Keaton / Ray Kroc
The movie The Founder, which was released in 2016 and directed by John Lee Hancock, tells the story about the life of American businessman, Ray Kroc, who founded one of the most famous world brands: McDonald’s. The Metacritic site gives 66 out of 100 points to this movie. The movie was warmly received by viewers and Michael Keaton’s acting was highly regarded. The movie even made it to the top 10 at the box office for the Christmas break week.
12. Rupert Everett / Oscar Wilde
The Happy Prince movie talks about the last days of Oscar Wilde’s life. Rupert Everett managed to show viewers the ironic way in which his character was looking at the difficulties he had to go through. Additionally, Rupert Everett was also the director and scriptwriter for this movie. He had already played Wilde on the theatre stage and didn’t disappoint as Wilde on the big screen either.
13. Andy Serkis / Albert Einstein
The British movie about 2 geniuses, Einstein and Eddington, got a high rating but it wasn’t that popular with the general public. However, Andy Serkis’s acting and the direction from Philip Martin, who had worked on the movie Hawking, are gorgeous together and the movie is definitely worth watching.
14. Jennifer Hudson / Aretha Franklin
Jennifer Hudson was considered for the role of the famous American soul singer from the very beginning and Aretha Franklin herself approved of the actress and the movie. The premiere of the movie Respect is expected to hit theaters at the beginning of 2021. Franklin’s son has called on boycotting the movie, but made it clear that it was his mother’s choice to cast Hudson. The movie’s official teaser promises a lot of pleasant emotions and beautiful music.
15. Austin Butler / Elvis Presley
Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, and Harry Styles were also among the candidates for the main role in the upcoming movie Elvis. It was not an easy choice for movie director, Baz Luhrmann to make. But eventually, he made his choice, assuring himself that Butler was ready for the role. He reportedly said in an interview with Deadline: “Throughout the casting process, it was an honor for me to encounter such a vast array of talent. I had heard about Austin Butler from his stand-out role opposite Denzel Washington in The Iceman Cometh on Broadway.” In Elvis, the young actor is going to co-star with the world-famous celebrity, Tom Hanks.
16. Lady Gaga / Patrizia Reggiani
Ridley Scott decided to make a movie about the famous fashion dynasty, the Gucci family, or to be more specific — the demise of founder Guccio Gucci’s grandson, Maurizio Gucci. Lady Gaga was invited to play the main role of Patrizia Reggiani, Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife, who was convicted for the organization of his murder in 1995. This is the first big screen project that Lady Gaga has agreed to take part in since the release of the hit movie, A Star is Born. The movie was announced in November 2019 and the release date remains unknown.

brightside--2020-08-19--10+ Inventions That Were Once Part of a Fictional Story but Finally Caught Up With Reality

Once a writer ’ s dream and today a reality .
In many different movies , TV series , and books we have seen technologies that we wished we had in real-life .
Most of those fictional inventions probably even gave scientists a few ideas to work on , in order to turn our lives into an endless adventure .

In the book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea , the adventures were all in a submarine .
While not everyone at that time knew whether this type of transportation would ever possible , it was considered fiction .
However , today we have modern submarines that can do a lot more than just travel underwater .
In movies like Hackers , many of us have seen a technology similar to or even the same as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can truly enjoy virtual reality and even play games using this technology .
It seems like Star Trek not only entertained us , but helped scientists with ideas about technology .
If you remember the diagnostic device on the show , you know how beneficial would be to have it today .

The taser was actually invented by Jack Cover , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Swift and His Electric Rifle .
He even named the device after the book , “ taser ” which is basically an acronym for the book ’ s title .
Today this gadget can easily protect us without putting someone ’ s life on the line .
Many of us loved and probably still love watching cartoons and animated movies like The Peanuts Movie .
Well , Otto Dieffenbach decided to recreate the flying Snoopy doghouse and today we can even fly it ourselves .
Self-driving cars were seen in many different movies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one .
One of those movies was I , Robot .
However , today many companies are on the verge of releasing a self-driving car in production , which means we ’ ll most probably see them hit the roads in 2020 or later .

Once a writer’s dream and today a reality. In many different movies, TV series, and books we have seen technologies that we wished we had in real-life. Most of those fictional inventions probably even gave scientists a few ideas to work on, in order to turn our lives into an endless adventure.
We at Bright Side managed to find out which creations were fiction first and compare them with the ones we have today.
1. 3D printer
In every Star Trek TV series and movie, we have seen a replicator. It helped the crew get food in seconds and also replicate important ship parts for repairs. Today, maybe we can’t replicate food yet, but we have a 3D printer that is used to create parts for machines, as well as human organs.
2. Submarine
In the book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the adventures were all in a submarine. While not everyone at that time knew whether this type of transportation would ever possible, it was considered fiction. However, today we have modern submarines that can do a lot more than just travel underwater.
3. VR
In movies like Hackers, many of us have seen a technology similar to or even the same as the VR we have now. Today we can truly enjoy virtual reality and even play games using this technology.
4. A hand-held medical diagnostic device
It seems like Star Trek not only entertained us, but helped scientists with ideas about technology. If you remember the diagnostic device on the show, you know how beneficial would be to have it today. While a similar device is being developed, we can take the infrared thermometer as a modern example of something that everyone has the chance to use at home today.
5. Digital billboard
In the past, billboards were simple and had only one image. However, like in the movie Blade Runner, today billboards show entire commercials and very interesting announcements.
6. Taser
The taser was actually invented by Jack Cover, who was inspired by the book Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle. He even named the device after the book, “taser” which is basically an acronym for the book’s title. Today this gadget can easily protect us without putting someone’s life on the line.
7. Snoopy doghouse drone
Many of us loved and probably still love watching cartoons and animated movies like The Peanuts Movie. Well, Otto Dieffenbach decided to recreate the flying Snoopy doghouse and today we can even fly it ourselves.
8. Self-driving cars
Self-driving cars were seen in many different movies, even before we could imagine driving one. One of those movies was I, Robot. However, today many companies are on the verge of releasing a self-driving car in production, which means we’ll most probably see them hit the roads in 2020 or later.
9. Gesture-activated devices
From computers to phones, gesture activated devices are starting to become more common. It was really fun seeing them in movies, like in Minority Report, but now those ideas seem even better and more useful when we have them at our disposal daily.
10. Voice control
While voice control was only possible in movies and on TV series like Star Trek, now it’s part of our daily life. We can control our phones, computers, and even our homes with our voices.
11. Smart watches
In most detective and secret agent stories, movies, and TV series like Golden Eye, Spy Kids, or Dick Tracy comics, they had watches that helped them communicate. Today, we have smart watches that we can connect to our phones and talk with our friends and family. Now everyone can feel like a secret agent.
12. Credit cards
Before credit cards were even a thing, the book Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy from 1887 talks about a type of payment that he calls a “credit card.”
13. Hoverboard
All 3 Back to the Future movies were about a technology that we can still only imagine, a time travel machine. But in the second part of the movie, they showed what they think the future will look like. There have been hoverboard prototypes and we can’t wait to try one in the future.
14. Flying cars
The Fifth Element is one of those movies that took place in the future. It was filled with gadgets that, at that time, no one probably thought we’d see anytime soon. Some of those technological advancements are not available to us today. However, inventors are working on flying cars and hopefully, we will have one soon.

World Photography Day is celebrated on the 19th of August and this date was not picked at random. On this exact day, in 1839, a photo camera and the first photography technology called daguerreotype was released in France. Depositphotos, which is an international stock photography platform, compiled a collection of images representing the different genres of modern photography. Check them out to pay tribute to Louis Daguerre’s invention.
Even when their images are merely documenting reality, photographers manage to make us dream. This breathtaking scenery of rocky cliffs by the sea was photographed in Iceland.
Portrait photography is one of the oldest genres in the field. The purpose of most portraits is to show the emotional state of a person by capturing their spirit and appearance. At the same time, taking portrait pictures of children requires special skills, since they can’t fake emotions.
Even modern smartphones have a macro photography feature that allows cameras to focus at a short distance. However, these shots of insects were taken by professionals and through a special macro lens. Pay attention to how dynamic the scene with the butterflies looks and how strong the emotional message is with the image of the spider.
To capture a whale jumping out of the water, a photographer needs 3 things: a telephoto lens, a boat, and a lot of patience. Waiting for a whale can take days, after which you have only a couple of seconds to press the camera button at just the right time.
Travel photography was vital for science. In the 20th century, a photographer was always an integral part of scientific expeditions. In some cases, it was their duty to submit sensational photographs to the editorial offices as soon as possible.
Photos give us an opportunity to observe distant lands where we’ve never been. This place, where a US Navy DC plane wrecked, looks tempting for photographers, however, not everyone dares to come here, especially at night. This plane is located on the South Coast of Iceland, a few meters from the sea, and far from any settlements or roads. You can only get there on foot.
Taking high-quality pictures of objects in space has only become possible in recent decades. Digital matrix cameras today have a light sensitivity of 4560000 ISO (this is one and a half thousand times more than film at the end of the 20th century). Add a powerful zoom available today, and you can get images of comets, stars, asteroids, and the surface of the Moon in stunning quality.
Wildlife photography beautifully compliments the landscape genre. The essence of these photos is to document forms of wildlife in their natural habitat. What’s more important — a kangaroo or beautiful Australian fields, is up to the photographer.
Photography helps us realize the greatness of nature. This Alp valley, with a small town, looks gorgeous, beautiful, and a little intimidating. Sunsets and sunrises in the Alps are also popular for their color swings. For example, the Dolomites during these periods look like they were carved out of garnet stone.
With the help of photography, we can travel not only to another continent, but also to another season or state of weather in any corner of the world.
Photography became a new method of observing nature in the late 19th century, as well as an impetus for the development of realistic animation and photography technologies. In 1878, Eadweard Muybridge created a series called Sallie Gardner depicting a horse in motion. The series includes the first automatic electro-photographs in history.
There is no human activity that modern photography has bypassed. The first manned balloon and airplane flights were documented by photographers. The aerial photography genre did not appear long after the invention of photography: the first photographer to take to the skies with the camera was Gaspard-Félix Tournachon from Paris. He used a balloon for this. Today, aerial photography includes any photographs taken from a drone, kite, helicopter, and, of course, an airplane.
Humans cannot live underwater, but their photo camera can observe what is happening in the depths of the sea instantly. Due to the human desire to take pictures in an active environment (including underwater), a kind of photographic equipment called the action camera was invented.
We can tell fascinating fiction stories without using a word, by showing each other just one image. Art photography is the field of photography where you can maximally prove yourself as a creator of beauty, and not just a chronicler of your time.
The work of a photographer is the process of a constant search for creativity and expression, fueled by the mastery of retouching tools.
What do photographers who work in different genres have in common? At Depositphotos, we believe it is their willingness to be sensitive to the beauty of the surrounding world, as well as a desire to share what they saw with wider audiences. And that is something to celebrate. On this day, we thank not only Louis Daguerre, the pioneer of photography, but also all of his followers, whether they are professional photographers or amateurs who use their smartphone camera every day to capture the elusive beauty of our planet. Check out the full World Photography Day collection to immerse yourself in the mightiness of the very planet we inhabit.

Sometimes our dream items await us in the most unexpected places, like on the curb of a road or on the Internet with a sign that says, “for free.” Other times, these are simply things that need to be given a second chance and be rescued from a dumpster.
We at Bright Side were extremely surprised to see some of the findings in this article — we still can’t believe that someone would throw away a bag full of jewelry.
“I got this incredible (appears to be handmade) ’70s dress from a local vintage shop for FREE in exchange for some photography I did for them!”
“I found this vintage vanity for FREE next door. The lady said it’s been in her family for generations.”
“The former owner wanted to paint it with chalk paint for her daughter. Luckily, her daughter didn’t like it, so now it’s in a loving home.”

4 wonderful surprises at once

“Most were still in the original boxes but I had to trash the boxes because of the rain last night. None of them appear to have been used, or at the very least, barely used.”
“Found this perfect Calvin Klein skirt at a cafe clothing exchange for absolutely FREE!”
“I literally rescued all these books from being thrown out — each one was already in the dumpster.”

Some people are sure that they need a lot of money to dress stunningly. Jillian Owens knows that this is not true. She buys second-hand clothes that no one needs and turns them into the outfits of her dreams. Oftentimes, she doesn’t pay more than $1 for her finds.
