Hi There,
I'm just wondering what other people do in relation to changing sheets during a guests stay.
We have guests staying for a week and three days into their stay, they asked when we are going to change their sheets.
We go into our occupied rooms every day to replenish toilet paper,soap, empty trash and do general room checks, but so far we have not been changing the bed sheets until after each guest has checked out. Most guest only stay 1, 2 or 3 days.
The guests in question sought us out as we are basic, affordable (really cheap) accommodation but I think they are looking for hotel standards....or
am I totally out of touch and I should be changing the sheets every couple of days - help :0 !

Hi,
I must added that people demanded for new sheets because they are on holidays and enjoying their time. They do not care about the stains...sheets iron. And use them with the intention that if the sheets get messy the hostel administration will change it without any cost. It is true that they take hostel like a hotel.

I'd only change them if they ask! This is a hostel...! Not only that, but more changing linens = More Laundry = More water = More resource use.

Semi-long term guests offer you a source of steady income for the duration of their stay for less work. While you may see a guest who asks for new sheets every few days as high maintenance, there is no question that it is less maintenance than processing seven one-day guests. If you refuse to make such simple accommodation then then I would expect a discount for each day your staff don't have to do the extra work, so like $30 + $27 for every day thereafter to reflect housekeeping/front desk procedures eliminated.
This is a good one plus very few people will request to change their sheet everyday.
