Tipping is welcome everywhere. The size depends on the desire and possibilities.

Natasha59, that's not everywhere. In China, you will be very offended if you tip. In India, yes, they treat this matter normally, they won’t be offended, that’s for sure :)

I will add that tips were not always given, as there was a struggle on the beach for each client who came to the beach (there were a lot of shakes, but there were not many vacationers in November). Sometimes, the husband separately thanked for fulfilling the order for marine reptiles, but this could not have been done, they bought the fish from the fishermen and we were well wound on it from above, taking into account all the moments. It was possible to bargain well, but they helped us a lot with money, shopping malls arrived and didn’t know that they had begun a monetary reform and on the very first day they handed us banknotes that were no longer accepted anywhere ... they left 20 rupees for cleaning at the hotel. In the hotel itself, there was nothing more to leave for tea.

Tipping is not accepted, only on personal request. Sometimes you are shortchanged shamelessly, the price is not at all the same as on the menu. It is not customary to leave a tip in hotels, they even refused to take it from us. It all depends on the hotel.

by our experience. After paying in a restaurant/cafe/shek, you will be given change. We were never fooled. But how much to take and how much to leave as a tip is your decision. If this is a standard lunch on the beach, then we left 10-20 rupees. If the festive New Year, then a hundred and a half.
But for the money exchange service - here you need to look both ways, otherwise the exchanger himself can draw a cool "tip".

We gave 10 & upon check-in, they gave a very good room, and later on all requests were answered "on the run", which is not typical for India) In the sheikhs, they left 10-20 rupees from the change if they liked the service. I have never seen in India that someone would refuse a tip. Still, before leaving, she also tipped Alenok to the pharmacist of the Russian-speaking pharmacy for help during the rest in the selection of drugs.

If we are talking about tipping in the room, then in GOA there is a latch on most doors except for the mortise lock, we hung our own lock and did not let anyone into the room.

nadin65, I'm talking about tipping when you check in, when choosing a room. And we also hung our own lock and also didn’t let anyone into the room. Yes, they didn’t try))
