If it is freshening a guest room then the door remains OPEN.
If cleaning a bog and stripping beds, vacuuming etc, the door is closed. I don't care to see all dirty rooms open and being stripped as a guest either..

Totally agree and yet I still don't go to make sure doors are closed when guests leave right after brekkie. And, oh, the mess I sometimes encounter and realize EVERYONE walked past that room.

On a flip, I definitely kept the door locked while cleaning because it could be a tornado effect in there with everything being stripped to go in the wash.
I closed the doors on a freshen but didn't lock them. If someone came back from another room, I didn't want them peering in on someone else's belongings plus it helps keep down the transmission of the noise of cleaning the room if other guests return. If I had to go farther than a few steps to get something that I forgot, I locked the guest's room door when I left. No telling when someone else might return.
Think about it...when you are at a hotel with a maid cleaning your room, the door automatically locks behind them when they are in there. I don't see the difference. We aren't snooping through our guests' belongings, we are cleaning their room and providing a service to them.
