A recent study carried out by The Hague Hotel School found that cleanliness of bedrooms and bathrooms was the most important factor for guests in their opinion of a property and their decision to leave negative online reviews.

What’s a Housekeeping Consultant doing working at the Winter Olympics?
Even though Housekeeping Management training is our core business at L&A, I took some time out of the training schedule at the end of 2013 and start of 2014 to get involved in another passion – The Olympics.
The Sochi Russia Winter Olympics is my 5th Olympics and I love it.
I took up my role as Silver Programme Manager for Megafon at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games in London late November 2013.
