Abstract
The housekeeping department’s responsibility lies in ensuring cleanliness, hygiene, comfort, and safety of the customers. Among all the departments in the hotel, the efforts of housekeeping department are most overt. The impact of great housekeeping develops confidence in the customer so that they can check in at the hotel with a positive, stress-free mindset. Witnessing the housekeeping standards of the hotel, a guest decides whether he or she is going to return to there and become a loyal customer, or is going to depart with a negative review.
