It can be a great way to unwind while visiting and there are many wonderful villas near popular tourist attractions..<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_tip_villa_staff_in_Sri_Lanka\"><\/span>Do I need to tip villa staff in Sri Lanka?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, tips are expected by the villa staff for good service. The wages for villa and hotel staff in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/tipping-tour-guides-sri-lanka\/\">Sri Lanka are low but the Sri Lankan tipping etiquette<\/a> allows them to earn a living wage. You can tip in Sri Lankan rupees, the money in Sri Lanka, or in foreign currency if you don&#8217;t have enough rupees on you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_should_I_tip_villa_staff_in_Sri_Lanka\"><\/span>How much should I tip villa staff in Sri Lanka?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You should tip a combined 1000 &#8211; 1500 Sri Lankan rupees per day if your villa includes a 10% &#8216;service charge&#8217;. There should be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/hotel-tip-envelopes\/\">tip<\/a> box in the office or a tip envelope to put your tip in. Your tip will then be divided among the villa staff.<\/p>\n<p>If your villa doesn&#8217;t charge any service fees, you should tip the villa staff 2000 rupees per day. Most villas charge a 10% service fee to users of accommodation, which theoretically allows the owner to pay staff a higher wage. Keep in mind that not all &#8211; or any &#8211; of this necessarily goes to staff as it can be kept by the owner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_makes_up_the_villa_staff_in_the_tip_pool\"><\/span>Who makes up the villa staff in the tip pool?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The tip pool includes the chef, house staff, gardener who is usually also the pool person, and a night guard.
