Tipping in cheap eating places isn’t expected. While in tourist areas, foreign visitors are expected to tip 10 percent, especially in highend restaurants, bars and hotels, but the general rate is 5-10 percent.
In less visited areas, it’s common to round up your bill by a few Crowns, to the nearest note.
To be sure your waiter/waitress actually gets the tip, use cash rather than adding a gratuity to a credit card payment.
However, in rural areas, leaving a tip on the table is not the usual practice and may cause offence.
Rounding up is customary for taxis too.
In hotels, porters and bellhops may expect the equivalent of $1 tip as a general guide – and around the same per day for a room maid.
