00:00A consumer group has called for standardized check-in and check-out times at hotels.

00:07Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association's Deputy Secretary-General Nur Asyikin Aminuddin

00:12said changing check-in and check-out times, which results in shorter stays, is unfair

00:17to guests.

00:18Speaking to FMT, she said hotels should stick to the common practice of check-ins at 3 p.m.

00:24and check-outs at noon as it would be unfair to guests who have paid a nightly rate.

00:29She added that the government should drop regulations so that hotels have standardized

00:32check-in and check-out times.

00:34This follows a post on X in which a netizen complained about a hotel's policy of setting

00:39check-ins at 4 p.m. and check-outs at 11 a.m.

00:43Several netizens argued that the length of stay should correspond with the cost of the

00:47room, especially when the price is high.

00:50Hotel operators contacted by FMT said they are free to determine their check-in and check-out

00:55times based on operational needs and other factors such as occupancy rates, room inventory,

01:01and staffing.
