A free printable guest damage form — what was found in the room, its condition before the stay, photographs, the charge raised and how the guest was told.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Build a clear evidence trail for a damage charge, so a dispute is answered with dates, names and photographs rather than a memory of the room.
Housekeepers who find the damage, and managers and owners who decide the charge and speak to the guest.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One incident of damage or loss in a room — what was found, its condition before the stay, what it cost you and how the charge was raised and explained to the guest.
Your terms, your figures. What to charge is your decision, from your own terms and your own replacement costs. This sheet is the evidence trail: what was found, when, by whom, and what the guest was told. Take photographs before anything is moved or cleaned.

Because what you charge comes from your own terms and your own costs — a replacement lamp costs what your supplier charges, not a figure we could print. The sheet records the figure you used and who authorised it.
That is what the sheet is for. Photographs, the inventory condition, who found it and when, and what the guest said at the time are the things that settle it; how far you take it is a decision for you under the rules where you are.
Know at any point in the day who is in, who is still expected and which rooms are back with housekeeping, without opening a booking system.
Capture an incident properly on the day, in the affected person's own words, with the witness details and equipment notes that become impossible to gather later.
Make each deduction defensible by writing down the reason, the amount and where the photograph or invoice is at the time you make it.
Record the date something was reported as well as the date it was fixed, which is the pair of dates that actually matters.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
Opens PayPal in a new tab. Any amount, and nothing changes if you would rather not.
