- Yes, because most guests do not notice

Vraag 6 van 17
A guest asks for a room on a high floor. The booking does not guarantee a floor. What should you do?
- Tell the guest to ask again at check-in, when the floors are assigned
- Promise a high floor so the guest is happy, then try to find one later
- Note the request and try to meet it, but don't promise it
- Ignore it because floors are not guaranteed
Toon antwoord
Antwoord: C. Note the request and try to meet it, but don't promise it
Requests such as high floor or quiet room are noted and met when possible. Promising something you cannot control leads to a complaint.
Vraag 7 van 17
A guest calls and asks for extra towels. What is the best way to handle it?
- Tell the guest towels are changed only once a day by housekeeping
- Tell the guest to come down to the desk to pick up the towels themselves
- Log it, tell housekeeping, give a time and follow up
- Say yes and wait for housekeeping to notice
Toon antwoord
Antwoord: C. Log it, tell housekeeping, give a time and follow up
Logging and passing on the request, giving a realistic time and then checking it was done is how requests get completed.
Vraag 8 van 17
Who is responsible for a guest request after you take it?
- You are, until it is done or clearly handed over
- Nobody, once the request is written down
- The general manager, for every request
- The guest, who must call the desk again if it is not done
Toon antwoord
Antwoord: A. You are, until it is done or clearly handed over
The person who takes a request owns it. If your shift ends first, hand it over clearly in the log so it is not lost.
Vraag 9 van 17
A guest asks for a wake-up call. What should you record?
- The guest's name, room and time, and read the time back
- Nothing, because the guest will set a phone alarm
- Only the time, because the room is not needed
- Only the room, because the guest will remember the time
Toon antwoord
Antwoord: A. The guest's name, room and time, and read the time back
A wake-up call needs the right room at the right time. Reading the time back catches mistakes such as 6:15 and 6:50.
