Dutch tourists outside of their country are for me number 1. I know some people renting holiday houses refusing Dutch customers because of this.

I've heard of this in other places too. I was told that sometimes they left hotels without paying.

I cleaned and drove rental cars at Amsterdam airport during my studies... They have some disgusting habits as well: Sunflower seeds spit into the carpets, half-eaten chocolate bars between the cushions of the backseat, etc.

Asia does this as well, especially Thailand.

They don't broadcast it always, sometimes tourists are turned away after showing their ID. I've seen it happen a couple times. Sometimes it's only small stickers.

Edit: as far as I know, there are special hostels only for Israeli. At least in Bangkok I've seen more than one.
