Paid per Room

According to a number of participants, the majority of housekeepers they have worked with were paid according to the number of rooms they have cleaned or are able to clean. Let’s say the dirtier and messy the room is, the more time the housekeeper will spend cleaning and of course the less money she/he will earn.
In this case, let’s not be selfish and learn to care a bit for others. Instead of leaving a total mess behind you, there is no harm if you just keep things in order.

Based on what a Quora user revealed to the public, the best day in which you can book a hotel is surprisingly Sunday.

[quads id=1]
Many people think that third-party booking sites might save them extra money. The truth is, the trick of saving extra money is not always true.
What most of the participants in the forum actually recommend you to do is directly call the hotel and check by yourself the available rates. This will help you form a certain relationship with the hotel and might end up having just what you were looking for.
What you should add to your information is that the only reason why some hotels sometimes might rely on these “third-party-booking sites” is that they hope to fill in the large room vacancies they have.

You might be staying at the same hotel where your favorite singer or actor is staying but still, no one will tell you so. A real frustration, right?
It doesn’t even make sense how long you have been dreaming to meet that popular figure about whom you are totally crazy and take with them a lovely selfie that you can post in your facebook account and boast about.
Well, according to the participants who have directly worked with famous people, celebrities wish for privacy and quiet stay and the hotel has no other choice but to respect their wish.
Celebrities have a unique schedule. They tend to come out at night when not so many people are around to avoid any possible disruption.

as often as You Expect

When you are in a hotel, you are in a hotel. As simple as this, so, don’t expect everything to be clean and perfectly organized as you would wish it to be.
And please don’t start and make a drama out of nothing. It’s a hotel and not your own house. Plus, let’s be honest, we don’t even change our own bed sheets daily, right?

What many people would completely ignore is that hotel employees have the right and the ability to share with you discounted, and most of the times free, perks.
So, next time when you frown and start yelling at every employee you see around in a hotel, remember how important it is to smile and be nice to everyone.

Therefore, you might be spoiled with free upgrades and extra services.
