Turn un-serviced rooms into higher profits and green credentials
By skipping room service, you directly fund vital conservation projects.
We help you convert unneeded room servicing into housekeeping savings and environmental action, creating a win-win for your bottom line and our planet.
Any hotel or resort in the world is free to join at no charge. We do not police donations and rely on partner hotels accounting for these through the registration portal and trust donation payment system.
Guests are presented with the choice to forgo room servicing. The ‘table talker ‘represents a strong visual cue for guest participation. If a guest elects to forgo servicing, the hotel makes a modest donation of $5 per un-serviced room. Housekeeping can save significant sums per room enhancing sustainability. The donation is used to support environmental groups.
HFH is an initiative promoting sustainability and supporting guest engagement. Our participating hotels recognize the ecological significance of preserving these areas for current and future generations.
of profits go to beneficiaries
