HQAA focuses on the details easily overlooked during routine cleaning: edges, corners, accessible areas behind and beneath furnishings, and other less visible surfaces within the agreed scope. We inspect authorised vacant rooms after housekeeping is recorded as complete, comparing observed conditions with the hotel’s supplied requirements and agreed HQAA inspection criteria.
125-point housekeeping quality checks
Structured checks of room readiness, bathroom cleanliness, surfaces, fixtures, presentation and visible deficiencies against applicable property standards.
Independent service verification
What this includes
We examine as many authorised vacant rooms as can be thoroughly assessed within your selected two-, four- or six-hour inspection, highlighting repeated issues and gaps between expected and observed results.
Evidence for management action
What this includes
Confidential room-by-room findings, photographs where authorised, recurring themes and prioritised corrective recommendations. Target report delivery within 48 hours.

Book & Pay — 6 hours →Before you pay
Please enquire first. Your booking date, property access, inspection scope and written engagement terms must be confirmed by HQAA before using the secure Stripe payment links above. Full payment is due at least 24 hours before the scheduled service. Payment alone does not confirm availability or create a booking.
Included in every package
Agreed inspection criteria, documented room-by-room findings, photographs where authorised, and a confidential management report with prioritised recommendations, delivered within 48 hours. Observed conditions are clearly separated from conclusions about service delivery.
Package hours refer to on-site inspection time; the management report is included in the package price. We thoroughly inspect as many authorised vacant rooms as the selected period allows. Room numbers depend on room size, access, condition and the detail required; no fixed room count is guaranteed.
Prices apply to eligible Greater Sydney bookings. Choose your preferred overnight start time, subject to HQAA availability. Additional hours or travel outside Greater Sydney require a separate written agreement and price before booking. No hotel room or overnight accommodation required. No GST is charged while HQAA is not registered for GST.
Observational quality assurance only; not statutory certification, building compliance, fire safety, infection-control or specialist environmental testing.

An initial audit establishes the findings. Return visits check agreed corrective actions and help management assess whether housekeeping standards continue to be met.
Corrective Action Recheck
What this includes
Revisit previously documented issues after your team has had time to act. Each inspected finding is recorded as resolved, partly resolved, unresolved or unable to verify, with dated supporting observations.
A recheck covers the agreed issues and areas inspected on that visit. It does not establish the condition of every room.
Monthly Standards Check
What this includes
Regular independent inspections of a fresh sample of authorised rooms, with follow-up on previous findings. Compare results against agreed standards and track recurring issues over time.
Quarterly Standards Review
Scheduled reviews to assess whether improvements last, identify recurring deficiencies and give management evidence for service-delivery discussions.
Plan your return visits
Choose a 2-hour ($1,360 AUD), 4-hour ($2,720 AUD) or 6-hour ($3,950 AUD) visit according to the agreed scope. Each visit includes updated findings and a confidential report. Return visits are separately booked and charged.
Monthly clients can arrange an initial three-month service agreement with reserved dates. Scope, visit frequency, payment and cancellation terms are agreed in writing before commitment.

Read the full details
With your written approval, HQAA can showcase verified housekeeping improvements through before-and-after photographs and a factual summary on its website or social pages.
Verified changes, clearly explained
We reinspect the relevant areas before describing an issue as rectified. Each showcase identifies the inspection dates, the areas assessed and the limits of the findings. No examples are published until a hotel has approved them.
Publication is optional and separate from the paid audit. The hotel approves the exact photographs, wording, publication channels and whether it is named before publication. Guests, staff identities and private information are excluded.
Published showcases disclose that the hotel paid HQAA for inspection services. Participation does not purchase a positive review, change the confidential findings or provide certification of the whole property.
Why HQAA
Verify the work. Strengthen accountability. Protect value.
Hotels pay for completed housekeeping services, not just a tidy first impression. HQAA helps owners and managers assess whether inspected results meet the standards agreed for that service.
We record what we observe, where and when we observe it, and the relevant standard. A missed area is a finding requiring follow-up; it does not, by itself, establish who was responsible or whether an entire service was not delivered.
Our confidential findings help management request corrective cleaning, check recurring gaps and review whether paid services meet agreed requirements. Value-for-money conclusions are limited to the records, rooms and standards actually assessed.
Our approach
Don't assume the work was done. Verify the results.
01 · Agree the standardConfirm the hotel’s housekeeping expectations, authorised rooms and evidence permissions.
02 · Inspect completed workCheck room conditions, document deficiencies and compare results with supplied standards.
03 · Improve accountabilityReceive a confidential report with practical recommendations for management follow-up.
The experience behind HQAA
More than 20 years of noticing what gets missed.
18 MILLION+Google Maps contribution views
Level 6 Local Guide · 1,000+ contributions
HQAA’s founder brings more than 20 years of firsthand experience staying in many different hotels. Across those stays, she repeatedly noticed a common pattern: rooms that appeared clean at first glance could still have overlooked areas where less obvious cleaning details had been missed.
That experience shaped HQAA’s attention to detail and its inspection criteria. We look beyond presentation to check the details against agreed standards, documenting observed conditions separately from conclusions about service delivery.
