How much to tip a hotel housekeeping in Netherlands?
Service is included, but rounding up or adding about 5-10% is normal for good service.
Tipping a hotel housekeeping in Netherlands: the local custom
When staying at a hotel in Netherlands, the guidance for hotel service is: 1-2 EUR per bag. Tip in cash in euro (EUR) where you can, and always check whether a service charge has already been added before you decide.
What to do instead
Rather than a percentage tip, round the bill up to a convenient amount. Friendly thanks and a return visit are valued more than cash here. If you received truly exceptional service and want to leave something, a small amount in euro (EUR) is a kind gesture, never an obligation.
Netherlands vs the US
In the US, a hotel housekeeping is typically tipped $5.00 night. In Netherlands, the custom is 1-2 EUR per bag — so if you are visiting from the US, expect to tip less than you would at home. For the full picture across every venue, see the Netherlands tipping guide.
