Guest-choice housekeeping with a QR code in the room
With a QR code in the room, the guest chooses full cleaning, eco cleaning or privacy for today. Room attendants start the morning with a clear overview instead of guessing and knocking on doors. Designed for small hotels and guesthouses.
Why guest-choice housekeeping matters
In many hotels and guesthouses, rooms on multi-night stays are cleaned on a fixed schedule whether the guest wants it or not. The room attendant knocks on a door while the guest is still asleep, replaces towels the guest would happily have used again, and cleans a room where almost nothing has changed. Meanwhile a guest who would like a clean room has no easy way to say so.
A do-not-disturb sign on the handle only solves half of it. Signs go missing, guests forget to hang them or take them down, and the attendant only learns the guest's wish at the door. Reception handles small requests by phone, and you often hear about a problem in the room only from a review. A QR code hotel room housekeeping setup puts these small things into one simple channel.
Where it hurts today
- Attendants clean rooms where the guest did not want cleaning, and run short of time elsewhere.
- Towels and bed linen are changed even when the guest would have reused them.
- Knocking disturbs guests who are still asleep or working in the room.
- Do-not-disturb signs get lost, and the attendant learns the guest's wish only in the corridor.
- Guests have no quick way to report a problem, so it ends up in a review.
- Reception is busy with simple requests over the phone.
What cleanQR does: a green housekeeping program the guest controls
Guest chooses the cleaning
The guest scans the QR code in the room and chooses full cleaning, eco cleaning or privacy. No app download and no login; the form opens in the browser in English or Czech. The hotel can customise the cleaning types.
Overview for room attendants
The housekeeping overview shows guest choices in real time on a tablet or phone, or you print it in the morning. Attendants need no account, just a link, optionally protected by a PIN. After the cutoff time, for example 8:00, the guest can no longer change the choice.
Issue reporting the hotel sees at once
Through the same QR code the guest reports a problem in the room. The report appears in the overview and the system can send an e-mail alert to one or more addresses.
Savings the guest can see
When the guest skips cleaning, they see an approximate estimate of the water, energy and CO₂ saved. Eco cleaning becomes a choice with a visible effect, not just a card in the bathroom.
Room information board
In the same place the guest finds Wi-Fi, breakfast, check-out, parking and other practical information, plus offers of hotel services if you add them.
Protection against misuse
Each room has a unique link; the hotel can lock the choice to the device that made it, limit daily changes or renew a room's code at any time. Reception can set or change the choice for the guest in the administration.

Frequently asked questions
Do guests need to download an app?
No. The guest scans the QR code with their phone and makes the choice in the browser. No download and no login.
What if a guest does not use the QR code?
Nothing changes and the room is cleaned according to your usual schedule. Reception can also enter the choice for the guest manually in the administration.
Does it work without connecting to our hotel system?
Yes. cleanQR is a standalone system and needs no PMS or reservation system integration. You add your rooms once in the administration.
Is cleanQR a full housekeeping management system?
No. cleanQR does not run your whole housekeeping operation or staff shifts. It does one thing: lets the guest say what cleaning they want and shows it to the attendants in the morning. If you need shift planning or full operations management, another tool or a module of your hotel system is a better fit.
When is cleanQR not a good fit?
A very small property without a room attendant, where the owner talks to guests in person every day, can often simply ask the guest or use a door sign. Likewise, if rooms are not cleaned during the stay at all, for example apartments cleaned only after departure, there is no cleaning choice to manage.
Which languages do guests see?
The guest interface and the administration are available in English and Czech. The form follows the guest's browser language and the guest can switch it.
