Hotels involve several separate tipping situations: housekeeping, bellhops carrying luggage, and staff who provide a specific service like calling a taxi or arranging something for you.
A common guideline is a small amount per bag for bellhops, and a small amount per day for housekeeping, left in the room. Concierge staff are typically tipped only if they've gone out of their way to help with something specific, like securing a hard-to-get reservation.
Housekeeping tips are best left in cash on the pillow or nightstand with a note, since staff often can't tell which guest left an unmarked amount. In countries where tipping isn't customary generally, hotel tipping tends to follow the same lighter pattern.
This varies a lot by country. For specifics on where you are, check the tipping guide by country.
