Generally speaking, it is unusual to give a tip in the Scandinavian countries – as it is in Norway. In many places, a friendly and frequent “Tack”, Takk” or “Tak” (“Thank you” in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish) is quite sufficient. Usually, a certain amount of service is already included in the bill. However, if you want to express your satisfaction, you are welcome to round up the amount in the restaurant or leave a few coins on the counter.
The service in the hotel is included in the bill, but the amount can be rounded up: A plus of around 5 per cent is usual for good service.
