Housekeeping Towel and soap kept in every room before the customer completes registration Linen should be changed every day The rooms should be cleaned every day unless the customer has specifically requested that no one should disturb him. Properties next to water must be cleaned twice a day because of the sand/mud that will be brought into the room from the water source The surroundings of the property should also be kept clean.

Good telephone manners!! Use ‘hello’ as the opening greeting – never ‘yes’ or ‘hi’ The greeting should contain the name of the organization, the name of the person receiving the call and a ‘thank you’ at the ending The staff should speak in a friendly and pleasing tone. They should not speak fast but at an even pace Take the customer’s permission before putting him on a hold Keep a pen and paper handy to write notes about the conversation
