Hotel lost & found is handled per property — by the front desk, guest services, or housekeeping of the hotel you stayed at.

Step 1: Contact the property directly

Call or email the front desk / guest services of the specific hotel, with your room number, stay dates, and a clear description of the item. Housekeeping usually logs items found during cleaning. Major chains are in the hotels directory.

Step 2: Confirm storage and shipping

Ask how long they'll hold it and whether they can ship it to you — most hotels will, at your cost. Get a tracking number.

Step 3: If it's already been turned in

Unclaimed items are sometimes handed to police after a holding period and appear on Lost112 (lost112.go.kr).

Tips

Contact the hotel as soon as you realize — the sooner housekeeping is alerted, the more likely the item is set aside. Reference your reservation to speed things up.

Prefer help in English?

International hotels usually have English-speaking staff, but smaller properties may not. If coordinating a shipment from abroad is a hurdle, we can recover and forward your item.
