How common are bed bugs in hotels?

More common than most travellers assume, and not a cleanliness issue. Bed bugs travel with people and luggage, so even the best-run five-star hotels carry the risk; pesticide resistance and growing international travel keep pushing exposure up.

Most hotels deal with it quietly. A Valpas certification turns that silent risk into visible proof: certified rooms carry permanent, pesticide-free SafeSleep technology that stops a bed bug the first night one is carried in, with the room's bed bug-safe status verified live and independently confirmed by Bureau Veritas.
