• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift

• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift

• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• Experience with industrial laundry machines

• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Share of the service charge or guest tips
