‘You Can Clearly See Through This Door’: Traveler Exposes The Hotel Bathroom Trend That’s Destroying Everyone’s Dignity

**TikTok Woman’s Campaign Demands Hotels Bring Back Real Bathroom Doors**

A woman on TikTok has had enough of hotel bathrooms with bad doors. Sadie, who goes by @bring_back_doors online, is tired of showing up at hotels only to find out the bathroom offers little to no real privacy. She has started a whole campaign to make hotels answer for their terrible door choices.

Her TikTok video about this bathroom door problem has been watched more than 234,000 times. In it, Sadie talks about how hotels keep installing frosted glass doors for bathrooms instead of normal solid ones. According to Daily Dot, she was at the Alexander Hotel in Noordwijk aan Zee, Netherlands, when she made the video.

Sadie explains that hotels often defend these foggy glass doors by saying they provide privacy, but she strongly disagrees. Standing right in front of the bathroom door in her video, she proves her point: “A, yes, you can see through these. Like you can clearly see through this door, and B, glass doors do not close properly.”

She emphasizes that when she asks for doors that actually work, she means doors where every edge touches the door frame completely—not just part of the way.

### From Frustration to a Mission

Sadie didn’t stop at just complaining on TikTok. She created a website called [BringBackDoors.com](https://BringBackDoors.com) where travelers can look up hotels before they book, specifically checking which hotels have real bathroom doors.

Her website features a list of hotels that have solid bathroom doors. She reached out to hundreds of hotels with two basic questions: Do your doors close all the way? And, are they see-through glass?

Hotels that answer “yes” to the first question and “no” to the second get added to her list. Hotels are sorted by city and price range, making it easier for travelers to find suitable accommodations.

Additionally, the website includes a section where people can report hotels with awful bathroom door setups so others are warned in advance. Sadie encourages anyone who encounters bad bathroom doors to email her or message her on Instagram with the hotel name and photos.

### Why Sadie Started This

On her website, Sadie explains that she finally got fed up after too many trips where she had zero privacy in hotel bathrooms. She loves going on trips with family and friends, but she also needs some basic bathroom privacy.

Sadie’s campaign highlights an important conversation about guest experience. Much like a recent story of a woman shocked by a restaurant’s reaction to a complaint, Sadie shows how speaking up about poor experiences can drive change.

### Why Hotels Choose Glass Doors

There are several reasons hotels install glass walls and open layouts in bathrooms. These designs can make tiny rooms feel less cramped and cost less to build. They also simplify cleaning for hotel staff.

However, many travelers commenting on Sadie’s videos fully support her stance. One person wrote, “No clear doors in bathrooms!!!!! Even when I’m with my husband we need a real door?” Another said, “I HATE how hotels started thinking going to the bathroom is a shared experience.”

Others have shared their own horror stories:

– “I’ve had 2 hotels now where the bathroom didn’t have a door at all 🙂 one had a curtain! the other a folding screen :)) my best friend and I are on another level after this.”
– “Worst one was a foggy glass door with a large hole to use instead of a handle.”
– “Had a hotel with an absolute solid wooden bathroom door. And next to it A GLASS WALL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE TOILET!!!”

With her growing following and website, Sadie continues to push for hotels to put privacy – and real doors – back where they belong. If you value your bathroom privacy while traveling, checking her website before booking your next hotel stay could save you from an uncomfortable surprise.
