Amount of tip for hotel employees
So, what is the appropriate tip amount for hotel employees?The amount of tip that can be given can vary.
Generally around 5-15 percent of the total service cost, but this figure can be adjusted depending on the value of the service and local culture.
According
American Hotel and Lodging Association
(AHLA), the tip to the hotel housekeeping staff or bellboy is US$1 or around Rp. 16,745 to US$ 5 or the equivalent of Rp. 83,729 per day.
Business travelers who are rarely in the room may typically tip less, while families with children who make a mess in the hotel room, may tip slightly more.
Don’t leave anything other than a tip
You may be tempted to leave something other than cash in exchange for a tip, but it’s best not to do that.
“We see this often (leave something other than money), especially when guests have leftover wine or alcohol,” said former Kimpton Hotels Vice President of Operations, Tom Waithe, as reported
The Points Guy
.
According to Waithe, leaving anything other than cash is potentially useless, as most hotels have strict policies about what can be taken out of a guest’s room.
“Guests often think they’re leaving behind a special treat, like leftover pizza or food, but it’s just thrown away along with open bottles of liquid because no one knows what’s inside,” he explains.
Some locations such as Las Vegas casino resorts, United States, have a no-gambling policy for employee team members, so it’s best to leave cash instead of gambling chips from casino winnings.
That’s an explanation of the appropriate tip amount for hotel employees.You can tip around 5-15 percent of the total service fee or US$1 or around IDR 16,745 to US$5 or the equivalent of IDR 83,729 per day.Hope it is useful.
