The OP knew that housekeeping would enter that room at some point and the fact they knew this and didn’t put their personal belongings out of sight e.g. by closing the bag shows that they did not mind the housekeeper looking into their bag at their stuff. The objection is to the fact they actually touched their stuff which does cross a line.

The bag being open is not an invitation to look in it!
One wonders what type of hotel that poster is used to staying in.
Even in the most basic self catering accommodation I've stayed in I wouldn't expect housekeeping to rummage through my bag to remove something that wasn't visible.0 -

The OP has been quite clear that although the bag was open, the wine/nibbles were not visible. :wall::wall:The OP knew that housekeeping would enter that room at some point and the fact they knew this and didn’t put their personal belongings out of sight e.g. by closing the bag shows that they did not mind the housekeeper looking into their bag at their stuff.

In anyone's book (except yours) it is totally unacceptable for housekeeping to look inside anyone's bag - whether that bag is open or closed.
Ditto for looking in drawers and wardrobes.
Guests should be able to expect a certain amount of privacy in their rooms and rummaging though bags is out of order.0 -

So how does someone in housekeeping enter a room and not actually see inside an open bag. Do they just refuse to look in the area of the room that the bag is in? Or maybe they close their eyes and erect a screen around it to avoid glancing in......0 -

You're being ridiculous and pedantic now.
When I said 'look' I meant physically put your hands inside the bag and rummage under clothes and remove something.
And you knew very well what I meant.0 -

I am not being pedantic at all. My point from the start of this thread is that if you leave a bag open in a hotel room then the staff will look in the bag as it will basically be impossible not to see what is inside an open bag.
I am relieved that you now realise that I am correct :doh::doh::doh:0 -

More than likely they would have just replaced the wine, hoping the guest would leave it at that.
If housekeeping had an issue with the OP taking the wine (as opposed to drinking it in the room ), they should have gone directly to the person in charge who could then decide whether to make an issue of it or let it go in the interests of not upsetting a guest.
Under no circumstances should housekeeping rummage through a guest's belongings.
I'd be very interested to read the hotel's side of this story.0
