London — Human rights groups warn that cheap guest houses abroad can be dangerous traps for solo female travelers. Behind low prices often lurk serious risks — sexual assault, theft, abduction, and trafficking.

Investigations reveal that unregulated lodgings in tourist zones are frequently linked to criminal networks targeting women. What begins as a budget stay can become the start of exploitation.

Safety Alert: Women traveling alone are urged to avoid guest houses entirely and choose verified hotels or official accommodations.

One rule stands firm: Your safety is worth more than any discount.
