Housekeeping tips: How to make the perfect hotel bed

Hotelier Middle East visits hotels around Dubai in search of industry experts from the housekeeping field. In this first video of an ongoing series, Fazmin, room attendant at Grand Plaza Movenpick Media City, Dubai, shares his expertise and tips on how to make the perfect hotel bed.

[@aliceweaver7358]

So I decided to be a hotel housekeeper for an adventure. To know how its operated behind the scenes. I will never be critical of a housekeeper again. They deserve every penny they make and than some. Plus tips. Good tips. From the second they open the door, to the second they mop themselves out of the room and close the door. I applaud the housekeepers.

[@vivirlavida7194]

Thankssss! I'm a housekeeper.

[@lizasiciban9232]

Its a hard work im training for 1 week now the first 3 days my legs are so painful that its so hard to work but i love it!

[@sexygabby30]

Housekeeper here!!!!! 14 years! In order to endure the work I just work out and lift weights to have more stamina

[@MegaMarie]

Snap! Me too. Not easy.

[@brandontv4348]

im a housekeeping too in hotel in nz, we need to clean a room in 30minutes

[@mystickal6342]

Always respect the Hotel staff beacuse it is one of the hardest and tough job to clean the mess made by others !! They desrve respect and appreciation.

[@jeansut.4125]

The way he inserted that duvet was simply magical! The key to a good comfty bed are getting the good pillows and duvet insert. Get down filled if you can.

First he places a sheet over the bed and tucks it under the mattress, doing hotel corners. The he places another sheet over that first one, not tucking this sheet under the mattress. Then his inserts a duvet into a clean duvet clover. Places that on top of the bed. Does a series of tucks, folds and adjustments to make it hotel standard nice. Moves bed back into place. Then he adds the pillows. Finally the runner and done.

[@shantaworld4702]

I know it’s in ff, but the way he did that duvet, I could never. It takes me like a hour to get it right😩

[@sundaymorninglush]

holy cow that was the easiest thing i’ve seen! other tutorials take forever to finish 🤣

[@jurgike0725]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Meaty22222]

That’s because other tutorials show you what to do this video says how to make a bed in 8x speed 10 seconds later cool now you know

[@StefanUrkel]

looks like: 0 fitted sheets, 2 flat sheets (1 tucked under the bed, 1 untucked folded over at the top of the bed, duvet cover with comforter inserted inside, then the pillows inside the pillow cases. A slightly different style than some other hotels that use tightly wrapped burrito style bed making. I like this style better since it’s simpler and less to undo when bedtime arrives.

[@paolaarletty6525]

Was surprised to see how he folded the second flat sheet at the foot of the bed 😮 Do you reckon this is better?

[@Solo_gurl1]

One sheet in the bed tucked then add another sheet dont tuck add duvet just below the line of the top sheet add another sheet on top of that use the other sheet to cover the duvet and the third sheet then tuck the ends go at the bottom swing your arm under the bed to tuck the bottom of the sheet then fold the ends then tuck and make it tight at the Hilton

[@nevilpereira7000]

The way u make the bed 🛌 is really good but to pull the bed and lift the bed to be more comfortable while we do our bedding not enough time. If you have 17 rooms is not good for your back... So ur tricks doesn't workout the way you did the bedding. We should protect our back.

[@Julia-ln5og]

He also forgot to tuck in the corners, their just hanging there lmao

[@nalejhole2024]

wow the bedroom is so nice

[@jimkiser1429]

Just a comment. I clicked on 3 separate fast bed making videos, and every one had a male attendant. I was an engineer for 40 years, retiring in 2012, and was all over the world for my job, including Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Munich, Dresden, Italy, Taiwan, Philippians, Japan, Hong Kong. Through ALL of those travels, I NEVER had even one male room attendant. I have, however, never been to Dubai, so maybe it's a cultural thing there??

[@fortruth7074]

Jim!....excellent point

[@aaryangrg2207]

why is the third sheet not used over the blanket?

[@priteshpatil5363]

What kind of flooring they have in room??

[@DewTime]

This video makes no sense. Before he started working on the bed the text said “now, how to make the bed” except it doesn’t explain anything. It was actually sped up so you can’t understand a single thing he’s doing. Since I’ve already looked up other videos on it i can tell he’s using hospital corners with a flat sheet.

[@thebeigesheep6132]

I tried tucking my top sheet but it's too short. Which is weird cuz my mattress is only 10 inches thick.

[@muchachitachinita]

Nice tips!

[@missrayelyn3045]

I clean vacation homes. I worked in QA in aerospace for 27 years prior to cleaning. This is the most physically demanding job I've ever done. The first month I came home exausted and sore. I also lost 25 lbs. To the guests, please dont wad up sheets, blankets, and duvets into a big ball. Its not helpful. Housekeeping is under rated and under paid.

[@Preaizy]

Good job 👏🏻

This guy should get paid by the bed, and not by the hour. He had that bed made in under 2 minutes! It's great that he can make 30+ beds an hour, but could he explain how he does it? I'm still on the fitted sheet!

[@goodday3846]

i bet when the day over his body will be sort like me. especially the next morning...not easy job

[@its_supreme]

I'm sorry people but, a bunch of naked sweaty people sit on those arm chairs. Housekeepers either keep your "clean sheets" on those arm chairs, OR, the bad ones just leave your pillows on the floor. For this reason, I always pack my own pillow cases to place on top of those pillows.
