Amazing Stay at the B
Stayed at the B Hotel on Scout Rallos in Quezon City for 12 nights. Amazing
hotel, clean rooms, great lobby restaurant, great bar and best of all,
FANTASTIC PEOPLE - security personnel, front office staff, management,
restaurant servers, in-house hotel nurse and cleaning crew. All very
accommodating and efficient.

A very good example of a very bad hotel.
Review of Margarita Apartments
Reviewed 21 May 2017 via mobile
Worst hotel I’ve stayed in.
The lock housing was exposed meaning it wasn’t difficult to break into our
room.No ventilation in bathroom (No window or extractor fan) leaving the
bathroom misty after taking a shower and leaving it smelly after using the
loo. Beds were extremely uncomfortable, may as well of slept on their sun
loungers. Bed sheets were filled with dust when we asked Dimitri (the owner)
if we could have them changed, he replied "well the cleaner has finished
who’s going to do it?" Fridge was dirty and horrible and the bottom of it was
rusty. Staff funny when you leave hotel to eat or drink out. A little two faced.

What have you observed from the guests’ reviews above?
What do you think are the factors that make a guest satisfied? or unsatisfied?

Room status terminologies are used by both housekeeping department and front
desk in communicating with each other regarding room occupancy. It is very
important that these two departments continuously communicate with each other
not only to maximize sales and revenue but to avoid problems like room status
discrepancy---situation wherein the housekeeping department’s description of a
room status is different from the room status information being used by the front
desk to assign guest rooms. This situation will create big problems if not resolved,
this is why close coordination between these two departments is extremely
important.
What is It
Lesson
4
Access Rooms for Servicing
All guest rooms must only be accessed after following the house procedures that
apply. These procedures relate to service delivery and security. They also function to
help avoid embarrassment to both guests and staff. (Ajar.id 2020)
Identify Important Terminologies Used in Housekeeping
Executive housekeeper also uses the terminologies for status to closely estimate the
number of housekeepers needed on any particular day and to schedule them
accordingly. Out of Order (OOO) rooms, Vacant (VC) rooms, and sleep outs are
examples of important room status terminologies that would mean there is no need
for the housekeeper' service to clean these rooms. Below are terminologies used by
housekeeping and front desk.
10
Important Terminologies for Room Status

Occupied (OCC). A guest is currently occupying the room.
Occupied Clean (OC). There is a guest occupying the room and it has already been
cleaned by the room attendant.

cleaned by the room attendant yet.
Extra Bed (XB). There is an extra bed being used in the guest room

Guests' Safety and Security in Hotel Establishment
Security Procedures
In a hotel of any size, security is a major concern. The security division is responsible
for maintaining systems and implementing procedures that protect the personal
property of guests and employees and the hotel itself. Every hotel has its own
procedures and guidelines for their staff on how to handle guest valuables, keys, and
telephone calls. Any unauthorized disclosure of guest information to anyone by any
hotel staff will be regarded as misconduct. Hotel staff should never disclose guest
information such as guest name and room number to anyone.
Handling Guests' Valuables
A room attendant must report to the housekeeping office any guest valuables found
inside the guest room during cleaning. It is important that the room attendant stays
in the room until the assistant manager, floor supervisor, and the security officer
arrive at the scene. The case must then be recorded very clearly in the Housekeeping
Logbook with the time, room number, description of the item(s) found, the name of
finder, and the name to whom the case is reported to and handled by for future
reference. The guest room will then be double locked until the guest returns.
Key Control
The room key is an important instrument that housekeeping staff use to access the
guest room and carry out their duties. All keys must be kept secured and distributed
properly. Every room attendant is responsible for taking care of the keys under his
or her charge and not allowing anyone else access to the keys. All keys are kept in
the housekeeping office in a locked cabinet and properly coded. The housekeeping
coordinator is responsible for the distribution and control of keys. All keys issued
must be properly signed for and cancelled after return. The room attendant must
register or sign in the Key Control "In and Out" Logbook and list the number of issued
keys.
18
The housekeeping coordinator does the inventory of the keys at the beginning of each
shift and prior to the handover of keys to the subsequent shift in charge. The key
cabinet must remain locked at all times. Keys issued to the employees must be kept
under their own custody and never be left hanging on the trolley or in the door lock.
All keys must always be returned to the housekeeping office. Keys must never be
taken out of the hotel premises. Misplacing or loss of key is a very serious matter
and should be reported to the executive housekeeper or assistant manager and
security officer immediately. An immediate search must be made until the key is
located. Every staff in the housekeeping department is trained to handle the different
keys and use the correct procedures when someone asks to open a guest room.
Suspicious Person
The housekeeping staff must report to the housekeeping office any suspicious person
loitering on guest floors and public areas. The housekeeping coordinator will in turn
inform the floor supervisor or assistant housekeeper, the assistant manager, and the
security officer.
Lost and Found
Lost and found refers to:


a place or an office that keeps any items found inside the hotel; or
a place or an office where reports of missing items, reported by either guests
or staff are kept and followed up.
All staff should hand in items found inside the hotel premises, regardless of their
value. Most hotels assign this duty to the housekeeping department or the security
department. All information is recorded in the Lost and Found Logbook for prompt
and easy reference in case a guest inquires about a lost item. All items found by the
guests and staff should be stored in a ventilated room and kept for three months
before being released to the finder. Some items, such as perishable food or drink,
may be kept for a shorter period. The storage area must be secure.(Urbiztondo 2016)
