English term or phrase: turndown service
Definition from own experience or research:
In hotels, the practice of folding back the blanket and sheet of the bed in the evening, sometimes accompanied by putting a mint on the pillow or a cordial on the night stand

Example sentence(s):
  • More and more hotels are starting to pay attention to their turndown services and that's a good thing because chocolate mints and the forecast for the next day's weather are starting to get a tad tired. HotelChatter
  • In the evening, hotels that offer turndown service require housekeeping to enter the guest rooms once again to physically turn down the covers of the bed and remove any excess pillows or blankets, to make the bed more inviting to guests. raveable
  • But, ultimately, the company concluded that eliminating nightly turndown service would be a costly mistake. USATODAY.com

Definition from resfeber.se:
När ett hotell förbereder rummet/sängen för natten.

Example sentence(s):
  • Nästan alla lyxhotell jag har bott på erbjuder en så kallad uppbäddningsservice, vilket innebär att man gör rummet redo för natten – man tar av täcket om det finns, tänder sänglamporna, stänger gardinerna och gör rummet så mysigt som möjligt. Vissa hotell lämnar en flaska vatten vid sidan av sängen för dig, andra kanske en liten bit tårta eller choklad. - Brus.nu
