Do you guys leave tip for housekeeping?

I travel quite a bit and probably stay 80+ nights a year in hotels. On occasion I will leave a small cash tip for housekeeping. I'm more inclined to tip housekeeping when on vacation and staying in a nice hotel. What do you guys do?

2024/2/21 Edited to

Tipping housekeeping can vary greatly depending on personal beliefs and hotel standards. Many travelers suggest leaving a tip, especially in higher-end hotels, as a gesture of appreciation for the cleaning staff's hard work. The general guideline is to tip between $1 to $5 per night, with more for extended stays or during peak travel seasons. Some guests choose to leave a daily tip, while others may leave a lump sum at checkout. It's also helpful to consider the level of service received. For example, if your room is impeccably clean or requests are quickly addressed, you might want to tip more generously. In some cultures, tipping is a standard practice, while in others it may not be expected. Understanding local customs can enhance your travel experience. If you often stay in hotels, consider participating in discussions online, such as the #AskLemon8 forum, to hear tips and stories from fellow travelers. Ultimately, tipping is a personal choice and should reflect your satisfaction with the service provided.

You should always tip your housekeeper! If you can’t do a money tip, leave an unopened drink or treat! As someone who works in a hotel, snacks and foreign candies are the best! I have a small box of unopened candy from Israel, which I’ll probably never open because the box is kinda cool.
