Hotel Hygiene and Sanitation Inspections

Otherwise, there will be a great threat in terms of hygiene and the image of the hotel serving will be seriously damaged.

Why Take Hygiene Inspections Seriously?

The exterior of a hotel may be good, its restaurant, food and staff may provide excellent service, but none of these things will make sense if real hygiene controls are not provided. Hygiene inspections to be carried out in hotels are extremely important in determining the standards of a hotel. These audits are important both in legal terms and in terms of customers and should definitely be respected.
Hotels are undoubtedly one of the most important elements of the tourism sector. Hotels, regardless of their location, size, capacity, variety of services and concept, lead tourism all over the world. People prefer to stay in hotels that meet certain criteria for safety, comfort and, of course, hygiene when they go to other cities or countries for purposes such as work, vacation, education, conferences, etc. Among such criteria, it is necessary to place a separate bracket on the issue of decontamination and hygiene. Because although the hotel itself is safe, the food is delicious, the entertainment services are spacious and the rooms are comfortable, if it does not meet the hygiene standards in general terms, we can say that there is a very big problem. Therefore, hotels should undergo regular hygiene inspections according to certain rules and with certain periods.


Hotel hygiene and sanitation inspections have been one of the most important issues in evaluating a hotel today. We have witnessed many times that hotels that cannot meet the necessary conditions in these inspections are sometimes legally and sometimes in a difficult situation with customers. Therefore, hotel hygiene and sanitation inspections are mandatory for each department in the hotel.

Scope of Hotel Hygiene and Sanitation Inspections

In order for a hotel to receive a valid note in terms of cleanliness and hygiene and create an image of a valuable facility in the eyes of its customers, it is necessary to regularly inspect the following parts of it:

• Rooms
* Kitchen section
* Restaurants and cafeterias
* Places such as bars, nightclubs, etc•
• Areas such as pool, spa, hammam, toilet etc
* Lobby areas
* Conference and meeting rooms
• Areas where recreational activities are carried out
• Cold rooms and places where food preparation is carried out
* Beaches


Hotel hygiene and sanitation inspections differ depending on the hotels. For example, the inspections at a boutique hotel and a five-star ultra all-inclusive concept hotel will not be the same. In the same way, a hotel in a resort area and hotels that are usually used for business purposes in the city cannot be expected to undergo the same type of inspections. In this context, we can say that the hotel hygiene and sanitation inspections vary depending on the services offered by the hotel and the facilities it has.

The benefits of facilities that have successfully passed such inspections can be listed as follows:

How are Hotel Hygiene and Sanitation Inspections Carried Out?

 

In order for these audits to be carried out correctly and a valid audit report to be obtained as a result, accredited organizations should be contacted. Organizations that have the authority, knowledge and experience to conduct an audit issue an audit plan based on the characteristics of the hotel. In doing so, they benefit from the standards applicable in the national or international literature and the articles of some laws in force. Below you can see some examples of them:
