A housekeeper in a hotel plays a key role in maintaining cleanliness, comfort, and overall guest satisfaction. It’s a hands-on job that requires attention to detail, time management, and consistency.

Room Preparation
Before a new guest arrives, the housekeeper ensures the room is:

After guests check out, they reset the room quickly for the next occupant.
