At Treebo Hotels, we follow a completely contactless check-in. We collect your ID details from the email/Whatsapp message that you send us and verify it with the ID that you show us at the reception. The front desk manager alone fills out the Arrival/Departure register.

The front desk manager will also provide you sanitizer to sanitize your hands and request you to take tissues from the tissue box kept on the front desk. Then, the manager will disinfect the room key in front of you and place it on the marking on the table and request you to collect it. This is how we will complete our contactless check-in process.

We also place a Room Hygiene Safety poster on the bathroom door facing the room for you to go through.

Protocols for Cleaning Guest Rooms

Upon entering a room for cleaning, the staff will soak the dusters in hot water and Dettol solution for 10 mins before using them to clean the room. While the duster soaks in hot water, the staff will change the linen, replenish the beverage tray, etc. and then use the dusters.

6. In-Room Dining

According to the revised protocols under the Treebo Hygiene Shield program, we provide an in-room dining service mandatorily in all our hotels to curb physical contact and ensure safety.

The Food & Beverage staff will sanitize their hands and wear gloves and masks. They will sanitize the breakfast tray, cutlery and crockery and ensure every food/beverage item has a lid or it is sealed with cling film. They will also follow social distancing while on the way to the guest rooms.

Once you answer the door, they will politely ask you to pick up the tray. After checking with you for further assistance, the staff will move the table away from the door.

7. Back of the House

Following the new protocols enlisted under the Treebo Hygiene Shield program, the housekeeping staff will place alcohol-based sanitizers at all critical touchpoints in the heart of the house areas like lift landings, corridors, staff washrooms & lockers, staff dining area, etc. The staff lockers, washrooms, showers and elevators are also thoroughly cleaned and disinfected every 2 hours.

Used linen is always stored in a closed bin to avoid contamination. Garbage is also always disposed of in a bin with a closed lid to avoid contamination.

8. Public Area

The housekeeping staff dry and wet mop the floors in the lobby and reception area every 4 hours. They also clean the public washrooms every 2 hours, place adequate toilet paper & hand napkins and disinfect the high touch points like door knobs and latch, basin countertop, basin taps, health faucets and the cistern tank knob with Virex

Tips to Stay Safe Amidst novel Coronavirus Pandemic

The best way to prevent yourself from contracting this virus is practising social distancing and staying at home. If you have to step out of your house for emergencies, here are some safety tips to follow to help minimise your chance of contracting the deadly novel coronavirus CoVID-19.  

1. Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Washing your hands for at least 20 seconds cleans most of the germs present on your hands.

5. Separate yourself from others: In case you observe any symptoms similar to CoVID-19, stay away from other people. Constantly clean and disinfect all the surfaces frequently touched you and ask a healthy member to do the same for other areas.
6. Wear a cloth face cover when meeting others: Always wear a cloth face cover while meeting others. Do not use face masks meant for healthcare workers.
