The reasoning for showing cleaning separately is so that the daily rate isn't inflated. If I was wondering how many nights to stay, and saw the cost for one night as say $300, then I'd guess five nights would be $1500; in fact though the cleaning cost (usually paid direct to the cleaners) might be $150, and $150 for the accommodation, so five nights total cost would be a more affordable $900. Edit to add: we have one Airbnb apartment, and zero chores for guests to do; our cleaners get our cleaning fee and we have laundry costs on top of that. Not all Airbnbs are a ripoff.
