Accommodation Safety Checklist (Downloadable PDF)

The Accommodation Safety Checklist is a comprehensive and easy-to-use tool designed to help travelers, guests, property managers, students, and inspectors evaluate the safety and suitability of any accommodation — from hotels and hostels to rentals and long-term stays.

This printable checklist uses practical checkbox format items that guide you clearly through every critical area of safety — from secure locks and fire safety to hygiene, emergency preparedness, and health checks.

What’s Included in This Checklist

Our checklist covers essential safety and comfort areas, including:

Before Booking: Preliminary safety considerations for choosing secure accommodation
Upon Arrival: First steps on check-in to ensure basic security
Room Safety: Checklists to verify locks, windows, devices, and personal security
Fire & Emergency Preparedness: Fire exit locations, alarms, extinguishers, and evacuation routes
Health & Hygiene: Cleanliness, utilities, pest control, and sanitary checks
Emergency Contacts: Space to record local emergency numbers and support services
Easy Checkbox Format: Quickly tick off each item for full visibility and accountability

Each section is designed so you can easily print, mark off, and review safety points before staying at or inspecting any accommodation.

Planning a trip and want peace of mind,
Moving into new rental accommodation,
A property manager performing regular safety checks, or
