Accommodation Safety

Accommodation scams increase sharply during Detty December. • Book only through verified platforms or direct hotel websites. For short-lets, verify the owner's identity and request a video tour. • Check DropLocationNG's verified accommodation directory. Listings marked Verified have had owner identity confirmed. • Confirm your booking directly with the property at least 48 hours before arrival. Re-confirm price, check-in time, and the name of whoever will receive you. • Upon arrival, check that the property matches the listing. If it does not, do not hand over cash. • Keep your room locked at all times and use the safe if available. • Ensure the property has a functioning generator — power cuts are common and can last hours. • Choose accommodation close to your events. Less transport needed late at night means a safer experience overall.
