My dudes in North America really have the most unstructured social support system.

Never tipped housekeeping at hotels for standard, other then change that I didn't want to take on a plane ride. Travel in the EU, Asia, Americas.

For longer stay places at non-hotels, I have tipped for service outside the standard level. i.e. extra towels, change sheets every day, do laundry

My thinking is - if tipping is required, it should be in the room price. Plus business travelers don't have a ability to expense house keeping tips (unlike food tips which are normalized in US expense reports)

No, not in Europe. People get paid for their work here.

Tipping housekeepers is not the norm. You shouldn't feel obligated to tip, ever.

I don't tip at hotels, ever.

I've never heard of tipping housekeeping at hotels, why would you do that? They get paid by the hotel

I live in the US and I have never tipped housekeeping, nor have I ever heard of someone doing it.

I don't tip housekeeping normally.

I personally don't want anyone going in my room while I'm there. I thought covid finally changed this when hotels started only doing housekeeping between customers, or if requested, but unfortunately it seems like they are changing this back. It just seems like a waste of labor to have someone else make my bed.

I've never tipped people going into my room. I'd do it if I made a mess or something, though.

This should hardly be a controversial norm: tip because you feel like it, period.

Tipping isn't a thing in my country, to the extent that if you left money lying around your room it would most probably still be there when you got back.

Unless maybe you were staying somewhere that gets a lot of tipping tourists.

On multi-night stays I tip if I want anything special, like extra coffee, or when my drunk friend destroyed the toilet. The only time I tip when leaving the hotel is if the housekeeper did something above and beyond normal expectations. Like when my wife started early and soiled the sheets. Left a note apologizing, a $20, and just expected fresh sheets. Nope. She replaced all the bedding and the mattress too. Left her another $20 and a thank you note when we checked out.

Yes. I tip regardless of how long my stay is. I leave money on the dresser or table when I check out.

I don't even let them in the room. Housekeeping left the door to my room open once for the entire day. I was across from the elevator. Thankfully nothing was stolen, but ya know, fool me once

I was a housekeeper and most Asian folks leave a toonie on or around the pillow everyday in canada it was really sweet

I'm in the US. Personally I always just leave a tip out in the morning before stepping out for the day, whether that's the day of checkout or before a mid-stay cleaning. That way I know it's always going to whoever ends up cleaning the room.

I usually only let them in once every 3 days just to replace towels. I make my own bed, and don't trash the place so I don't need much from them.

I wasn't aware I was supposed to tip. I pretty much never have cash anyway.

Depends where I'm staying. In no-tipping countries i wouldn't tip at all, but if it's common/expected, I'd leave some change on the bedside table in the morning when leaving the hotel/checking out.

I've never tipped hotel workers/housekeeping unless we're at an all inclusive resort, which I feel is standard to tip there. Maybe I'm wrong though reading comments here.

Tip or don't tip, don't ever feel like there's an expectation to. Not always but I often leave 1-3 bucks in change usually when I check out, especially so if say the floor or bed gets a bit sandy or I check out at 11:10, something like that.

Depends on where I'm at. In the U.S. (where I'm from), I would personally tip. I also tipped in Mexico when I vacationed there recently. I wouldn't tip in a no-tip/offensive-tip country (e.g. France).
