I think the best way to overcome this is to not leave valuables in the room. Whatever you bring on holiday, keep on yourself. That's what I do anyway, and I've not had a problem with never needing to use the safes. Because whether it's in a safe or not, hotel staff might go riffling through. I suppose a safe is better than bedside table draw though obviously if you have to leave something because at least then maybe the housekeepers can't get their hands on stuff.

So what do you do with your passport when abroad? Take it with you everywhere? What happens if you get mugged or leave it in a taxi/pub/club/drop it down the toilet/mow over it? Whether or not you can 100% trust someone not to open the safe, it's far safer to leave anything you don't need in a safe.
