hi there im quite curious to know your opinion about a maid in the night, he/she could clean the common spaces like the reception, the common room, the bathrooms, etc etc...in this way the custormers as soon they wake up they will find very very clean bathrooms and a fresh clean reception....if i keep 2 maids in the morning means the bathrooms stay more than half of the day without being cleaned...so the morning maid can come later and clean all the rooms and then before leaving all common spaces...then in night it's the turn of the night maid who will clean all common spaces (of course without doing a lot of a noises)
what do u think? have u ever got the same idea?

I am also considering having a maid for cleaning during the night shift, up to around 11 p.m. But, since cleaning the bathrooms during the night might disturb guests, the maid would spend most of the time cleaning the kitchen and common areas. During the night, bathrooms would probably get cleaned, but not as thoroughly as during the day.

depending on the property... We usually get work for accommodation staff to do tidy ups of the Kitchen and communal bathrooms from 9pm till 11pm or so. Night audit staff usually clean the reception area and attached communal areas.

I know this a little old the thread, but what you do is this: First thing in the morning, reception shold clean the bathrooms and give the commonroom a once over, then around 10am the hostel cleaner (professional or work exchange) should start. Cleaner would make the beds, clean the commonroom, halls, etc. Then early in the evening, clean the bathrooms so people have nice clean bathrooms to get ready to go out. If you're getting backpackers to do the work, then you might be best hiring a professional cleaner to come in a few times a week to give the bathrooms a proper clean - backpackers are generally not great at cleaning (most try to do the minimum).

Bathrooms to be cleaned after every pick time - after all the guest morning and evening excercises, so midday and midnight cleaning of bathrooms sounds good.
