These people are making money hand over fist, cleaning should be on the hosts, it is their duty to provide clean accommodation.

  I don't even understand this. I show up at a clean place. After I leave, somebody needs to clean up after me to make it good for the next person. No matter who does the cleaning, the hosts or somebody they hire, this takes supplies and labor. The only person putting money in is me, so the cleaning obviously has to be on my dime. I just want the pricing to be transparent in the details and included in the headline numbers.

    I read it as the person making the money being responsible for cleaning, which makes sense — it’s quite literally their job and they’re way more familiar with the local market for cleaning services.

      Huh. I hadn't thought of that. Is there some circumstance in which the hosts aren't responsible for cleaning for the next guest? I was talking about cleaning fees charged by the host, which would seem to imply them responsible in that sense.

    It should be factored into the up-front price. Do they include the cost of the inventory and snacks in the price? The host wants to make money from a room, it is in their interest to keep it clean for their guest, because they are the ones making profit from it. Making the room habitable and desirable is their cost in order for you to spend money on their service.
