Tipping & service charges
Tipping is not always appropriate in the Vietnam. If you feel the service was good and you want to show your appreciation, here is a guide to customary practice:
Hotels
Most hotel bills include a service charge, usually 10-12%. Where a service charge is not included in a hotel restaurant, it is customary to give 2- 5% of the restaurant bill. For rooms, you can leave an optional amount to room staff.
Restaurants
Many restaurant bills include a service charge; make sure you check the bill to avoid tipping twice. Where a service charge is not included, it is customary to leave a tip of 10-15% of the bill. Some restaurants now include a suggested tip in the bill total.
