Bed and Breakfast Tipping Etiquette

An exceptional bed and breakfast stay can be genuinely remarkable, often offering historic charm and luxurious amenities that make your experience more pleasurable than staying at a hotel. One of the biggest concerns people have when planning their visit to such accommodations is knowing how much to tip their innkeeper or housekeeping staff when planning their stay.

Bed and breakfast Innkeepers often wear multiple hats: from host to chef, wedding coordinator, valet, groundskeeper and more. As such, they don't typically abide by standardized guidelines.

Therefore, when considering who and how much to tip at a B&B, you must take this into account. Some hosts provide an envelope in your room indicating what amount should be tipped to them for their service. However if unsure, it may be beneficial to speak directly with the innkeeper directly.
