How much do you leave for hotel housekeeping?

[Anonymous]

$10 per day. I got a very nice thank you note once from the housekeeper of a small inn in Virginia, where I stayed for a week.

$20.00

Off topic, but any thoughts or tips on how to be sure sheets are changed?

5-10 dollars/day left daily.

Tipping housekeeping at a hotel is a leftover relic from the days they would clean your room daily and provide turndown service. That hasn’t happened since the 80s.

First turndown service was eliminated, then daily trash service, then daily towels and now they won’t even take trash out at all during your stay.

So I’m not tipping housekeeping because it was tradition in the olden times.

Literally cannot remember any hotel doing turndown service except for the one Disney Cruise we did. And maybe the place we stayed on our honeymoon. Embassy Suites/Hampton Inn/Courtyard/Fairfield/Springhill/etc. do not offer turndown service, even pre Covid.

$5 per day and I request daily housekeeping at check-in.

When traveling with my kids I tip $5/night. When traveling by myself (always business), nothing as I have do not disturb sign up. I Clorox the whole room (even before COVID) and I bring my own sleeping bag for the bed, and my own towels, hangers, shower shoes, etc. I am a bit paranoid seeing what they do with hotel sheets and towels. I also never use the coffee maker after I touched the inside of the water holding side and felt how slippery it was.

Nothing. To paraphrase Don Draper: 'That's what the $300-500 per night is for!'

$3-5 a day. I'm very surprised by the number of people who leave nothing at all.

I feel passionate about this topic. Valet and baggage service providers (usually men) regularly receive excellent tips. The women scrubbing toilets and changing the sheets get little. I leave about $5 per day[b].

+1 -- For most people posting here, $5/day is nothing, but for these women it means a lot. They're paid minimum wage or even less, if there's a tipped wage option for employers in that jurisdiction, and they're trying to support their families. Come on, you're on a vacation spending oodles of $ and you can't think of other human beings who aren't as fortunate as you are? That's who you want to be and model for your kids?

$5 or $10 per day; I don’t pay at the end because it could be a different person each day.

When there’s a free breakfast, I also tip the attendant $5 if everything is clean and orderly and they are restocking and generally on top of it.
