In today’s post, we’ll focus on persuading hotel guests to opt out of daily room cleaning. It’s an inspiring example that shows how small gestures can have a big impact, both on our planet and on travelers’ experiences. Discover how small steps can lead to significant results!
Mindful Guests for an Eco-friendly stay
More and more hotels are embracing sustainable development, taking steps towards more eco-friendly room service. However, for these efforts to bring about real change, the key role is played by guests of hotel facilities. Fortunately, more and more travelers appreciate and engage in the eco-friendly initiatives undertaken by hotels.
Traditional practices, such as daily changing of bed linen and towels, result in significant water and detergent consumption. Therefore, hotels are increasingly encouraging their guests to opt out of daily room cleaning. To effectively persuade guests to choose this option, they offer them specific benefits resulting from such a decision.

Here are some sample benefits that guests who opt out of daily room service may enjoy:
- Voucher for delicious cake and aromatic coffee,
- Voucher for a complimentary drink at the hotel bar,
- Discount on additional attractions and services offered by the hotel,
- Small treats to further enhance their stay,
- It is also worth noting that this way they will balance their stay in the hotel – this is valuable for eco-conscious guests.

The benefit of this decision will, of course, be mutual. Your hotel will also benefit from it.
How?
- Real savings – both those related to the service fee and water and detergent consumption – outweigh the value of the gift offered for opting out of cleaning. These savings contribute to business growth in the hotel industry, adding economic value to the eco-initiative.
- Increased guest loyalty: Guests who experience innovative and eco-friendly practices in the hotel often feel a stronger connection to the place they stay. This can lead to increased loyalty to the hotel, resulting in repeat bookings and recommendations.
- Additionally, such practices attract new guests. Conscious and responsible travelers increasingly choose places that actively engage in environmental protection.
- Changing the approach to room service not only has a positive impact on the environment but also serves as an excellent element of the hotel’s image campaign. By making conscious ecological decisions, the hotel not only cares for the environment but also builds a positive image and creates a positive reputation.
This is not only an inspiring example for the entire industry but also evidence that small changes can bring great benefits.

Pouches as eco-friendly door hangers
In recent months, customer advisors at Saketos have been receiving more and more inquiries about printed pouches, which serve as an original alternative to traditional cardboard door hangers in hotels. These simple yet effective solutions have tremendous potential in waste reduction and generating savings for the hotel.
How does it work?
The staff places a pouch with printed instructions for guests in the hotel room regarding the option to participate in the hotel’s eco-friendly initiatives. If a guest doesn’t need daily cleaning, they simply need to hang the pouch on the door before a specified time. This simple action not only saves water and protects the environment but also gives guests a sense of involvement in environmental issues.

Reward for environmental awareness
As a token of appreciation for such behavior, the staff leaves a gift in the pouch – for example, candies as sweet thanks for eco-friendly actions. These are small gestures that have a great impact on the well-being of our planet and on travelers’ experiences.
