💡 General Tipping Etiquette

The minimum wage in Belize is only $3.30 BZD ($1.65 USD) per hour, so tips in the service industry are appreciated.

🍽️ Restaurants

Street vendors don’t expect a tip, but appreciate it, in restaurants 15-20 % is common

🚕 Taxis

Not common to tip, important to negotiate a price first, especially long distance

🏨 Hotels

High-end hotels may add a 10% service charge on the bill during checkout, still a couple of BZD are appreciated, for cleaning staff, 2-5 BZD per night is ok
