About this tool
Generate a guest-ready room checklist with exact linen, towel, toiletry and water quantities for your guests and nights.
The Guest Room Checklist builds a guest room checklist with real quantities rather than a generic list of nouns. Towels are counted on a three-night change interval and bed linen on a four-night one, the intervals used in ordinary housekeeping, so towels come out as guests × ceil(nights ÷ 3) and linen sets as beds × ceil(nights ÷ 4). Toilet rolls assume one roll per person per four days and drinking water 2.5 litres per person per day. Season, a shared bathroom, an infant, an elderly guest, a working guest or a pet each add their own items.

Tick each item off as you prepare the room, then press Copy result to paste the whole checklist as text.
Every line carries a number worked out from the guest count and the length of stay.
An infant, an elderly guest, a shared bathroom or a monsoon arrival each change the list.
Check items off in the browser and copy the whole list as text for anyone helping.
One bath towel and one hand towel per guest, replaced every third night. For three guests staying four nights that is six bath towels and six hand towels in total — two sets each — which is why a single set per person runs out halfway through a longer stay.
Every fourth night is the usual interval, so a week-long stay needs two linen sets per bed. Change them sooner if a guest is unwell, and always start the stay on freshly laundered sheets rather than ones that have been sitting made up for weeks.
Drinking water and a glass at the bedside, a free charging point, a working bedside lamp with a switch the guest can reach, hangers and an empty shelf, and the Wi-Fi password written down. Those five cover the things guests most often need and are least likely to ask for.
Around 2.5 litres per person per day as a base — so two guests staying two nights need roughly 10 litres available, not one bottle. Raise that in summer or if the room has no easy access to a kitchen at night.
