New boarders often face several safety-related issues, especially when moving to unfamiliar cities. Many hostels lack proper security systems such as CCTV cameras, secure gate checks, o r trained guards. Theft of personal belongings—like mobile phones, laptops, and cash—is a common concern in shared rooms. Some places also have poorly enforced visitor policies, which increases the risk of unauthorized entry. Female boarders may face additional concerns such as inadequate privacy o r insufficiently supervised premises. Overall, the lack of standardized safety measures makes security one of the biggest challenges.
