Do you tip housekeeping in Indonesia?

Short answer

Rp 20,000–50,000 per day

20,000–50,000 rupiah a day.

OptionalCash preferred

Villa and hotel housekeeping is not expected to be tipped but it makes a real difference locally. Leave it daily rather than at the end. On a private villa with dedicated staff, a lump sum for the team at the end of the stay is also common.

In practice

  • Four nights → Rp 80,000–200,000, left daily
  • A private villa with its own staff → one lump for the team at the end
