And here I am lost in endless circle of Graham Norton. AGAIN!!!!!

[@lofthouse23]

I've been in the cycle for several years now. Help Me!

[@HP_2435]

me too!

[@bmindful1888]

You are not alone

[@decodolly1535]

You say that like it's a bad thing.......

[@avk1063]

Me too.

[@KT926]

I have never treated a hotel room like a swamp!! I am always tidy because I think it's embarrassing and disrespectful if you're filthy

[@serena5239]

also sleeping in a dirty room/bed is really not nice xD

[@SummonXD]

Me too i even fix the bed which i usually don't do

[@Jane-yg3vz]

I've cleaned rooms in a 5 star $700 a night hotel and in a run down $99 a night motel. I can definately say that the more money people have, the more disgusting they are. People who are used to having staff clean up after them live like pigs. I found towels with shit on them a couple times a week. Either they're wiping their ass with towels or just don't bathe properly. The cheap motel rooms were usually tidy when the guest left.

[@codyluka8355]

Especially when they have my name, address, credit card, vehicle license plate number and security picture footage on file. Imagine a book published called "This Twat's a Pig!" with your name and picture in it. Bet it would sell very well.

[@KT926]

@@SummonXD The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning at home is make the bed and the same when I'm on holiday too because I'm used to it all the time and it's just a normal thing for me everyday

[@fraxinnelle]

the way graham norton read the hotel reviews made it so much more hilarious

[@spacecadet35]

Whenever I stay at a hotel, I try and make it look like no one was ever there. I at least try and leave the room tidy when I go out and about.

[@Angie-qw1qx]

spacecadet35 during college i worked as a housekeeper and i was always thankful for guests like you. And i know it would sound disgusting, but I (and most of my colleagues) would thoroughly clean only the rooms of the tidy guests, the others we just made to look clean. Kind of “Why bother if they don’t bother” mentality. *Forgot to mention- I mean during their stay, not after they’re gone.

[@brendajackson13]

Me too, spacecadet35! I remember once making my own bed, I'd forgotten that I was at a hotel, for some reason. LOL!!

[@lisac9522]

Some hotels the customer can indicate that they don’t want the room cleaned until after they leave. It works out great because you can leave your clothes on the floor or whatever, then tidy up the one time before you check out instead of everyday.

[@seanjosephhayes]

Angie Because the next guest deserves the same treatment?

[@maldova]

I have this strange habit of trying to rearrange the room as close as possible to its original state before I check out, I would make the bed, fluff the pillows and sheets, fold the towels and hang them back, as if no one had stayed there before....

[@typervoxilations2311]

Dev looks... really good here tbh

[@sHaRiNgAn1011]

WORD OF WARNING: The reason there was poop in the kettle is because, (Some one talked about it on a show I watched recently) is that when on holiday some people wash their underwear by putting them in the kettle and boiling them. ya'll nasty. Since learning this, I never use hotel kettles for drinks and I advise everyone else to do the same.

[@lamoinette23]

o.m.g. never ever using a hotel kettle again!! that's disgusting.

[@rebelraccoon9018]

Nellie Brown but why would there be poop in the kettle if they wash their knickers there?

[@sHaRiNgAn1011]

Sanda Cortan lol because people get skid-marks....some worse than others it seems.

[@rebelraccoon9018]

Nellie Brown 😨ew. I never had that

[@elisa4695]

Ohhh dear God.. I suddenly became sick 😷😷 wow some people are nasty 😲

[@tasnimanimanimaa]

I love the "but I didn't expect the Hilton". I dropped my phone on my face.

[@lofthouse23]

"...And actual poo in the kettle. Now THAT'S a holiday!" Classic Graham.

Prayers needed: I better not be related to Dev Patel because DAYUM.

All right then Patel, he is not cute at all.

[@EscargoTouChaud]

Graham reading things and commenting, plus the facial expressions while doing so, is one of my favourite things in this show! - "Location was excellent!"

[@barbarat5729]

No, no, no. I would never leave my "nickers" on the floor for ANYONE else to pick up. No matter what!

[@Widdekuu91]

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Yeah I don't get that part, why would you behave like that unless at home? Makes no sense to me, some people have no morals.

[@oliviadaly4795]

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

@@oliviadaly4795 Fore sure but at home no one need know or care what you do. Even in a hotel I don't want someone thinking I'm a slob, I leave things as I expect to find it.

[@warriorbard]

Some of those hotel reviews are horrifying. Who does that?!?! I make my bed when I stay at hotels. I just find it so uncomfortable to leave a room unkempt even though I know that making up the room is complimentary.

[@powerdavid6235]

I try, i really do, to watch just one or two clips of Graham Norton on KZbin, and before I realize it hours have passed as I'm sucked into the world of probably the best talk show host that's ever existed,, To quote Matt Damon - "This is the most fun I've ever had on a talk show".

[@stayjit1]

I had a fright at a certain hotel, it was absolutely surreal. I didnt find out until the next day there was a Rocky Horror Picture Show convention across the street. Noone tells me these things.

[@CatalinaCity]

,,They were quite happy to give me new bedspreads when I reported the poop” 😯 😂😂😂

[@EscargoTouChaud]

Love that moment too, and how cute he is while saying the last bit.

[@hannahl8]

Dev Patel is so gorgeous

[@Neldidellavittoria]

This was so hilarious. Thanks for the upload, I was feeling a bit low today.

[@BrownstoneWalkUp]

That hotel should just embroider "Dench" on DJD's dressing gown.

[@rikkea4218]

I always leave a hotel nice and tidy. I would never leave it messy. People who clean are so bad paid and under time pressure

[@SamBateson]

Perhaps the guy who pooed in the kettle was trying to make a crappuccino 🤔

[@teresayeates8327]

Why after sliding on vomit in the lobby and being told it was your fault would you proceed to stay there?

[@rebelraccoon9018]

Teresa Yeates 'been around the block he understands the world and sees the positive'😄😄

[@wordzmyth]

Because they desperately needed a shower and to change out of vomity clothes probably.

[@Al-kb2xl]

Diarrhoea

[@gisawslonim9716]

I usually leave the hotel room cleaner and neater than it was when I entered it. I almost make the bed up and of course wipe down the vanity in the bathroom.

[@flyingzone356]

I do the same too!!!!!! But of course I have OCD. (No kidding.)

[@ivywilliams9427]

thank you... we appreciate guest like you...I am a chambermaid and it gives us great appreciation for considerate guest like you:)

[@Justjim_2924]

Me too

[@rachelgarber1423]

Forget who clarified it. but it's true, you have to leave at least one star or you can't leave a comment. You're forced to leave a star for service that doesn't even deserve one. But at least you got to make your point

[@michaelwright2899]

Graham Norton makes you want to be famous so you might get an invite on to his show... I’m not unsuccessful in my own life, but that is the highest compliment I can give him. I should probably try harder. He deserves more effort.

[@r.r.r9746]

For having worked in a hotel, I can tell you never use the glasses, plates...etc in your room without washing them several times because cleaners will wipe them dry with either used towels from the bathroom or with the same dirty cloth they used to wipe the bathroom clean

[@Justjim_2924]

Omg

[@josephrobichaud5198]

I always read the Trip Advisor reports on Hotels and places to eat. Some can be quite entertaining.

[@kukalakana]

When I was a cleaner at a hotel, one of my coworkers told me that I should use a fork from the kitchen to clean someone's pubes out of the shower plug hole. I told her no sodding way. (Probably not a terrible idea to bring your own cutlery.)

[@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075]

geeze that last person is obviously an optimist lol

[@pyubtinsl]

I’ve got it ! Years ago, I suspect Graham was an ESL teacher. That’s a gig where you’re required to keep a conversation going for at least an hour among four to six individuals while keeping it as entertaining as humanly possible. You work at Place de l’Opera You do this in order to pay your rent in Le Marais or something like that. You were in your twenties and you were having the time of your life.

[@manystar]

The guy with the beard...so handsome

[@ranjanbiswas3233]

That's Dev Patel

[@scottw9318]

Rob Delaney - if you mean the one on the right. He's quite dashing.

The Hound or Slumdog Millionaire? They're both good tbh.

Why there hell is there poo everywhere!?!?

[@carlyharris2296]

midgie's (not midgets)~ is the word they mean, it's a Scottish word term for a small insect of the family Ceratopogonidae. They swarm in Scottish summers and don't seem to be as much of a bother in England

[@Neldidellavittoria]

No, not midgies. They mean midges.

[@boobyqueue2707]

I worked in a hotel for two years and once on the night shift I had to come up and break apart poo with a toilet brush (that was right next the toilet) because their 5 year old had been constipated for a week and dropped a poo the size of a cat. It was a family of 5 and they watched as I did it then did not tip me.

[@Toxofox]

The poo in the kettle review was for the BlueBird Hotel in Newcastle. Dozens of hilarious reviews, if they're still online (Hotel closed, surprisingly enough)!

[@t.h.1492]

Renaud Mayers those reviews are still online and they are just as funny as the one Graham showed!
