When Hotel Guests Behave Badly

If you're spending a night in a hotel down in Australia, and you feel like lashing out a bit, beware: Australian hotels have set up the Guests Behaving Badly database to prevent repeat bad behavers from ever getting a hotel room Down Under again. The official lofty goals of the group are:

To minimise the occurrence of anti-social, intimidatory and destructive behaviour that currently affects guests, service providers and their staff within the hospitality industry.

So far, 1000 accommodation providers have joined "GBB"--you can pick them because they'll display the GBB logo prominently--and more are keen. Member hotels can look up guest names on the database and will find information on them if they've previously "behaved badly" at another member property. So a GBB-member hotel proudly guarantees you a peaceful stay.

A hotel blacklist? First time we have seen this online, but we know many hotels have been doing this on the QT for years. right AB?
