Main tasks include:
Cleaning rooms and bathrooms to a high hospitality standard
Preparing rooms for arriving guests
Keeping shared spaces (kitchen, pool area, common areas) clean and organized

To ensure a smooth collaboration, the following is important:
Cleanliness is essential – work must be done thoroughly and consistently, not superficially
Keeping your accommodation clean and in good condition is your responsibility
The room must be left clean and well-maintained at all times and at departure
If you use the shared kitchen, you must clean everything after use
Punctuality and commitment are required – agreed working hours must be respected
We expect you to be proactive, attentive, and take initiative
Respect for the space, guests, and team is essential
This position is intended for people who are used to working and take responsibility for their tasks.
It is not a good fit for travelers mainly looking for a relaxed stay with minimal involvement.
Accommodation & Conditions

The accommodation is part of the property and normally rented to guests, so it is important to treat it with care and keep it in excellent condition.
