Housekeeping is often forgotten, but leaving a few dollars each night - with a note - makes sure the right person gets it.
For hotel housekeeping, a flat tip works better than a percentage. $5.00 night is the standard; round up to $10.00 for great service or a busy day.
When to tip more or less
- Tip more for exceptional service, special requests, holidays, or large/complex jobs.
- Tip standard for normal, friendly, on-time service.
- Tip less only for genuinely poor service — and consider speaking up first.
