To be specific, we have been staying at a ski resort in Big Sky, Montana.

We travel a lot and there are a few ways to handle this. If you have the same maid everyday, you can tip at the end of the trip. Of course the quality of service is going to dictate the generosity. If service has been really good we have a tradition of leaving all the loose change we've ended up with at the end of our stay, any unopened food or sodas, liquor etc.. and cash equivalent to $10.00 per day. We fill out the courtesy card about the service if they have one and always leave a little thank you note telling the maid the aforementioned items are for her.
If we see that it is a different person each time, lwe eave a cash tip on the bed with a note. You can also call the desk manager and ask them if the cleaning staff split a tip pool, then you can leave a tip in an envelope marked "maid service" with the desk when you check out. I have always found leaving a tip everyday with a thank you get us extra special service. I always let the manager know if we get great service because it really counts when the service staff have thier employee review. If we are generous to the cleaning staff, (which most people treat like they are invisible) I have found we get great service from all the help staff at the hotel because they all talk to each other about how guests have treated them. It pays to acknowlage them and say thank you.

I looked up this because I remember when we went on a cruise that you tipped the staff the last night of the cruise. I would think it's the same thing for a resort?

well depending on the area, and how much money you have! hmm ski resorts are for more ritzy folk so leave $50 or $100+. but for me, personally, $20 more or less depending on service.

My husband and I typically leave about $5 a day. Sometimes we even leave a pop for the maid along with that...I'm sure housekeeping can be very thirsty work!

i can tell you from experience how i used to feel myself for getting tips working for almost twenty years as a maid in a hotel. besides getting a tip you feel appreciated and its the best feedback one could get. knowing how i feel i like to give to others for the good service they give to me. and even giving makes me feel happy too. its a good thing wether a small tip or not.

best is give her a daily tip so you get better service during your stay however if you didn't do that from the start add the them up and give it to her in a lump sum 5x7= 35.....enjoy....

10% if the maid kept your room in pristine condition. Less than that...complain to management.

Depending on which country you are in. Some countries do not encourage tips.

$3-$5 per day if you get good service.
