I've stayed in 30+ airbnb's around the world and I've never encountered the cleaning fee on top of a chore list that is so reviled on reddit and twitter. The only time I had to clean, the host just informed me that there wasn't a cleaning fee so I'd have to do it myself. Still sucked (went out and bought cleaning supplies and took a whole day) but seemed fair.
- hattar 3y agoInteresting. I travel mainly in the US and of the approximately 10 visits I can’t remember an instance where I didn’t pay a cleaning fee while also dealing with a chore list. It’s pretty sharp in my mind because it always frustrates me so much.
- carabiner 3y agoYeah most of mine were in San Jose, CA, but this was 4 years ago and they were single rooms (not an entire apartment), so I wonder if the practice has grown since then. I still don't like airbnb for other reasons: broken stuff (even in well reviewed places), worsens the housing crisis, poor quality but nice looking furniture. The furniture is "bony."
- square_usual 3y agoIt is very much a US thing. I've stayed in AirBNBs in India and the US, and a majority of the AirBNBs I've stayed in the US have a cleaning fee, while none of the ones I stayed in India did.
