Zakopane is apparently a popular destination for Middle Eastern tourists.
They do have different toilet customs there. The sign is probably the same for every hotel room – with or without a bidet.

If you place too much poopoo paper in there it will flood the floor – simple as.

You can get portable bidets maybe that’s what they mean.
It is in Arabic as Zakopane is extremely popular among tourists from the Middle East. Not that weird.

It means that there is not drain outlet in the floor. If you spill water on the floor it has nowhere to go.
Arabic is a language used by Arabic speakers. Do not thank.

bidet hose is an attachment that works for the sink, some hotels started to acquire those out of respect for the toilet customs of predominant tourist groups

I’m not surprised to learn that tourists end up flooding hotel rooms because they can’t adjust. Buy some wet wipes.
It’s like when I go to a mountain shelter in Bulgaria and I have to do a number 2 in a hole. Which happened last year, hence the specificity.

In Middle East you have a drain in every bathroom and every kitchen. The floors are usually washed with pouring water and using a rubber tool to drain it (ściągaczka?). It was very useful when our washing machine broke and flooded the kitchen. I guess the guest may assume it’s the same in Poland. So many times we assume what’s normal in our country would be normal in others. Like a person from Poland would assume all windows in the world tint

German at the sea, Arabic in mountains. Welcome to tourism in Poland.

Okay, so there’s a saying that if there’s a warning or prohibition against something oddly specific, there is a precedent for that exact incident. The fact it’s also there in arabic signals that the original incident involved arabic speakers.
Make of that what you will.

Those are the tourists that Zakopane wants.

Improper use of YOUR bidet meaning they bring their own portable ones. Its in arabic because these guys like to wash their back.

It’s because Arabic tourists tend to flood the rooms for some reason. It’s a thing in Podhale

i was just on vacation in tunisia where bidet hoses are common – and so are drains in floors near toilets (and in public toilets also wet floors from frequent use)
if i was used to bidet hoses i’d assume if i see one that there’s the same water draining system, which could cause well, whatever situation prompted that warning

Zakopane got flooded by tourists from Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Kuwait, apparently to the point you need signs to tell them how to behave ;D

Arab tourists in Zakopane apparently have displayed utter inability to properly use regular, civilized European bathrooms which has resulted in floodings and property damage.
They are being warned not to do that while in Poland.
Highlanders warning to hit them with at least 3000 pln additional charge is icing on the cake and highlanders being highlanders to tourists.

Lol what? This surely is at least strange in Poland. Probably illegal too.

The bathrooms in Poland are not wet rooms, maybe not everyone knows they can’t just pour water on the floor wherever because there’s nowhere for the water to go (many Asian countries have wet room bathroom).
The real question is why don’t you have a drain. I’m not trying to excuse bad behavior, the floor shouldn’t be wet, but a bathroom without a drain just sounds like bad design.

in short: polish bathrooms are not wet rooms
