Saving costs made easy

Increasing costs? This clever measure saves money!

‍

Hotels are facing ever greater challenges: rising operating costs, staff shortages and the increasing demand for sustainable solutions. But how can you cut costs without affecting the guest experience? A simple yet effective strategy is Encourage guests to refrain from daily room cleaning — and reward them for doing so!

‍

Why does less cleaning mean big savings?

‍

Every room cleaning causes labor, material and energy costs. If guests choose not to do so, hotels can achieve significant savings:

‍

✅ Reduce personnel costs: Fewer housekeeping assignments relieve the team.
✅ Reduce water & energy consumption: Sustainability through less laundry and cleaning costs.
✅ Save material costs: Fewer cleaning agents and consumables are required.

‍

Sample calculation: How much can your hotel save?

‍

Let's say your hotel has 100 rooms, and 30% of guests opt out of daily cleaning.

‍

Cleaning costs per room: Ø 10€

Savings per day: 30 × 10€ = 300€

Savings per year: 300€ × 365 = 109,500€

‍

Even if only 20% of guests participate, the annual savings still exceed 70,000€ — and all without sacrificing quality!

‍

How are hotels successfully implementing the concept?

‍

➡️ Actively inform guests: Indicate the offer when checking in or with a room card.

‍

➡️ Provide attractive incentives:

🍹 Free drink at the bar

🧖‍ Discount on spa offers 

🚗 Discount on parking fees 

‍

➡️ Maintain voluntariness: Guests who want cleaning can continue to use this service.

‍

Does a room price reduction make sense as a reward?

‍

A price reduction may seem attractive at first glance, but should be treated with caution:

‍

✔ Pro: Financial incentives can motivate guests more.
✖ Contra: A lower room rate could reduce the perceived value of an overnight stay in the long term.

‍

Many hotels therefore prefer to rely on additional services, the one higher perceived value for the guest, but incur fewer direct costs.

‍

A small step with a big impact

‍

A voluntary reward system for not doing daily cleaning helps hotels reduce operating costs, operate more sustainably and increase guest satisfaction at the same time. And the best part? The implementation is easy and can be implemented immediately!
