Hotel Tipping Etiquette

Housekeeping Tips

Leave housekeeping tips daily rather than at the end of your stay, as different staff may clean your room each day. Place the tip on the pillow or desk with a note saying "Thank you" to ensure it's recognized as a tip.

Currency and Timing

Always tip in local currency when possible. For services like bellhop assistance or valet, have small bills ready in advance to avoid awkwardly searching for money when the service is completed.

International Considerations

Tipping practices vary widely by country. In some countries like Japan, tipping may even be considered offensive. Research local customs before traveling internationally.

Included Gratuities

Some hotels add service charges or gratuities automatically, particularly for room service. Check your bill carefully to avoid double-tipping. If a service charge is included but the service was exceptional, you can still add a small additional tip.
