I think it's entirely up to you, I've never left a tip for maids before.
If you're not going to use the same hotel again, I don't see a point tbh.
Actually, even if you are going to I don't see a point, I doubt the maids will know the name of the occupant so you won't get less of a service next time!
(But then again, I am from Yorkshire and we're apparently all ... how does the saying go ... 'Tight as a duck's @rse!' Lol!)
Personally i would ask at reception and see if there is a general tip box that all the staff get a share of i worked in the hotel trade on and off for 4 years and i have to say unless the person is serving you food i see no point in tipping.

Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make s***. Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit. Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a f****** Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip? Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job. Mr. Blue: Hey, our girl was nice.
Mr. Pink: She was okay. She wasn't anything special. Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and s*** your d***? Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over twelve percent for that.
Ok, next question ... how much do you tip them then?!
Not saying I agree with all of this...but here is a helpful site about tipping. Specifically for NK's question - here is what the site suggest:
Maid service - $1-5 per day typically, up to $10 per day depending upon how much mess you make. Tip daily because there might be a different maid each day. Leave the tip on your pillow. Err on the side of being generous, and tip on the last day also.
They suggest tip each day, but hubby and I tip at the end of our stay. Geez, didn't think about the different maid each day.
