1. Luggage handling
Luggage handling of the guest is done on
various occasions such as arrival, during stay
(change of room), and at the time of
departure. At the time of arrival when the
luggage of the guest is moved from car/taxi to
the lobby and further to the allotted room, the
activity is called “up bell activity”.
When the luggage of the guest is moved from
room to lobby and further to the car/taxi at
the time of departure the activity is called
“down bell activity”. The baggage is collected
from the room upon request. A left luggage
register is maintained in this case and an entry
is made in this book. A baggage ticket (which
has two parts) is used. One part is attached to
the luggage and the counterfoil is given to the
guest. This portion details the hotel’s liability
exemption clause. When the guest comes to
collect his luggage he has to produce his
portion of the baggage ticket. The luggage
storeroom must be secure at all times.
2. Paging
Apart from luggage handling the bell desk is
also responsible for paging a guest. The paging
is a system of locating the guest in the hotel.
Many times the in-house guest expects a
phone call or a visitor but decides not to wait
in the room, and might decide to go to public
areas such as a bar, restaurant. swimming
pool, lobby or lounge, etc. of the hotel or may
go out of the hotel.
In such cases, the hotel requests the guest to tell
about his whereabouts through a location form. This
proforma may be kept in the stationary folds in the
room as well as at the information section of the
counter. Usually, it is mm in by the guest but many
times it may be filled in by the hotel staff on the
instructions of the guest The completed location
form is kept in the key and mail racks. This
information is sent to the telephone department
also (the guest may directly inform or the front desk
may do so). The purpose of the form is to earmark
the area of paging and save time. In the case of a
computer system, the information is recorded on the
computer instead of the location forms.
4. Delivery of Newspapers
As per the hotel policy, all hotel guests receive a
copy of a local newspaper each morning. The
bellboys in the night shift are responsible for
delivering the newspapers to all occupied rooms.
The bell captain obtains the room verification report
(providing information on all rooms presently
occupied). The bellboy then marks the room
numbers for each newspaper. The bellboy also
inserts the daily newsletters in each paper provided
by the public relations office the previous evening.
The bellboy then distributes the newspapers. The
record of numbers of newspapers received on a daily
basis is maintained by the night shift bell captain.
6. Miscellaneous Jobs
Miscellaneous jobs such as postage stamps handling,
taking care of outgoing mail of the guest, carrying
out outside errands for the guest and hotel such as
buying of cinema tickets, moving of files and
documents, etc. for the guest as well as going to
banks, post office and FRRO police station for
delivering of ‘C forms’ etc., confirming of
railways/bus reservation, etc. are done by the bell
desk

• 2. Role of Housekeeping
Housekeeping department in hotel ensures the
cleanliness, maintenance, and aesthetic appeal of all
rooms and public areas. The housekeeping
department not only turnarounds (prepares and
clean guestrooms) on a timely manner it also cleans
and maintains everything in the hotel so that the
property is as fresh and attractive similar to the day
when it opened the doors for the business.
The effort that the housekeeping makes in giving
a guest a desirable room has a direct bearing on the
guest’s experience in a hotel. Thre are more
employees working in the housekeeping department
when compared to any other hotel departments.
Being responsible for the turnaround of the rooms in
a timely manner, housekeepings primary
communications are with the front
desk/reception team. Each room status is updated on
a regular basis from the housekeeping to the front
desk and vice versa. With new technologies available
a room status update can be done via the hotel
software, telephone systems, housekeeping mobile
applications etc.Housekeeping also coordinates
closely with the maintenance or engineering
department, as the housekeeping staff identifies
different types of maintenance issues while cleaning
the rooms and reports to the maintenance team for
rectification or replacement.Example snags or issue
with the TV, AC, Heating unit, Plumbing,Lighting,
Electrical faults, Furniture, Toilet, Vanity, Tub, Towels
racks, Ventilation issues etc.
The role of housekeeping can change depending
upon the type or category of the hotel, for example
only in a luxury or full- service hotel evening
or turndown services are offered by
the housekeeping department. The housekeeping
department is one of the major & Support Centre; in
the hotel as it doesnt generate any major revenue for
the hotel.
• Housekeeping is considered as a ;back of the house
and department even though they have some direct contact
to the guests; like for example while cleaning rooms, picking
up laundry, providing evening or turndown services etc.
