Some guests are superstitious and don't want to stay in certain room numbers. These numbers can be used according to cultural and regional traditions. For example, the number 13 is considered unlucky in many Western cultures. In some hotels, the number 13 is avoided and the number 12A is used instead. In some Asian cultures, such as China, Japan and Korea, the number 4 is associated with death, so rooms with this number are avoided.

Genders norms and role can influence who works as hotel maids and how they are perceived in different cultures. In some societies, cleaning and housekeeping roles may be predominantly filled by women, while in others, it may be a more divers field. The attire and uniforms worn by hotel maids can vary culturally. In some regions maids may wear traditional clothing that reflects the local culture, while in others, they may wear more standarized, professional uniforms.

Housekeeping staff often work behind the scenes and receive little recognition for their efforts. Tipping is a great way to show appreciation for their hard work and make their day a little brighter.You can leave the tip on the dresser or nightstand in your room, or in an envelope with a thank you note. • Make sure the tip is clearly visible and not hidden among your belongings. • If you are unsure where to leave the tip, you can ask the front desk for guidance. • Some hotels may have a designated envelope or container for tips in the room. But be aware that in some countries tipping is not customary. In Japan for example it can even be considered rude and insulting. The tipping customs of the specific country are diffrent so it΄s essential to be culturally sensitive and respectuful.
