Do tips guarantee daily housekeeping in Egyptian hotels?

TL;DR

No — even with tips left (toiletries, cash) or a 'please clean' door sign, housekeeping may skip your room or clean it late; guests often have to remind staff or contact the front desk directly.

What the community said

One guest left tips (toiletries) and told staff cleaning was sometimes skipped, but the issue kept happening — had to message hotel management to fix it.

Even leaving a 'clean my room' door hanger, some rooms weren't serviced until as late as 6 PM — guests had to separately contact guest services to get it done.

Hotels can also refuse to extend your room/stay even with advance notice — according to other travelers, such refusals are fairly common.
