Hotel room checklist for housekeeping

You can easily adapt this checklist by adding property-specific items like specialty amenities, branded items, or unique room features. The template serves as a foundation that you can expand by including sections for suites, accessible rooms, or seasonal items. Focus on customizing it to reflect your hotel’s unique standards while maintaining the comprehensive structure.

Start with a training session explaining each checklist item and your quality standards. Pair new staff with experienced team members for hands-on practice. Gradually implement the checklist, beginning with a few rooms daily, then expanding. Regular feedback sessions help refine the process. The digital format allows for immediate documentation and reporting of issues requiring maintenance.

When an item fails inspection, document it immediately with photos if possible. Minor issues like dust or missing amenities should be corrected on the spot. For technical problems like non-working lights or plumbing issues, create a maintenance request through your property management system. Follow up to ensure repairs are completed before guest check-in or offer room changes when necessary.

Use the digital version of this checklist to collect data over time. You can review weekly reports on Lumiform to identify recurring problems like frequently malfunctioning equipment or consistently missed cleaning areas. Look for patterns by room, staff member, or time of day. This analysis helps you address root causes through targeted training, preventive maintenance, or process improvements rather than just fixing individual issues.
