Is it a ‘thank you for prepping my room’ or ‘please clean my room today’? If you tip post cleaning, it’s likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?
ETA- I’m in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don’t know what the norm is.
Only tip on stayovers. I used to be a housekeeper and I kind of grew to expect it after a guest had been in the room for multiple days, but never for just an overnight.
If you make a really big mess in the room, and don’t tip on a stay over, I would dip your toothbrush in the toilet 😂
And that’s why i tip! 😉
