The problem with AirBnb cleaning fees is that they don't disclose what's included in them. If you're going to charge me $500, fine, but it's not great when I show up and find out that you expect me to wash and remake the beds, power wash the deck, get rid of that wasp nest that's been there for a month and also assemble some Ikea furniture.
These days I ask for a list of cleaning requirements before I book.

- idopmstuff 4y agoHonestly, I'm fine with hosts charging whatever they want and asking guests to do whatever they want, as long as it's properly disclosed. If I show up and the house rules/cleaning requirements are more onerous than what's disclosed, I ought to be able to notify AirBnb and just get my cleaning fee refunded or somethin else slightly punitive to keep hosts honest.
- spacemadness 4y agoI don’t think I’ve ever been asked to do laundry, but if I would have I’d refuse on principle since I’m paying an exorbitant cleaning fee already.
- kriskrunch 4y agoThis and several horrendous check-ins we experienced on our most recent trip to Europe made us go back to booking exclusively with hotels.
- 0x457 4y agoIf I get charged $500 for cleaning and I find a speck of dust, anything foreign (hair, eyelash) on bedsheets or streak marks on any gloss surface - I'm doing a charge-back as soon as I check out.
