If it is $200 then that should cover 10 man hours of cleaning in a developed country.
I had similar issues as a guest on Airbnb, paid a cleaning fee $100+ and then had complaints that I left food in the fridge (like normal a pack of milk or something not growing new lifeforms) and couch pillow on the floor. They sent photos to shove my nose into it. And it was a tiny studio not a big mansion with much area to cover
I quit Airbnb 2-3 years ago and am happy without
- lupusreal 3y agoHave you tried to hire a cleaning person recently? $200 will get a small apartment cleaned, maybe. For a thorough cleaning of a modest house prepare to pay 2-3x that at least.
- zeroonetwothree 3y ago$600 for a house is far beyond typical prices
- lupusreal 3y agoIf it just needs a sweep, or if some party animal trashed it?
- renewiltord 3y agoWe have a cleaner come in for a 1900 SQ ft place in SF and it costs $250.
- antisthenes 3y ago$250 for a 2bed 2bathroom house in 2022. Two people spent roughly 2 hrs cleaning, so 4 hours of labor total + supplies. I think that's reasonable, but I wouldn't hire them for after every single short stay if I ran an Airbnb.
- jghn 3y agoFor my small house (~1200 sq ft) the woman who cleans my house charges me $150, and she's usually here for around 2-2.5 hours. She hasn't increased her rate for me for over 10 years, so I imagine she'd charge more if I started out new. So in other words, even 10 years ago she was charging roughly $75/hr, which is much more than the $20/hr that grandparent was citing.

- FireBeyond 3y agoI'm just outside Seattle. My 2,500 sq ft 4br 3.5ba home gets cleaned every two weeks by two, sometimes three, people, for a minimum of 2 hours, usually 2.5, up to 3. $165. When they deep clean? $250.
- carlosjobim 3y agoIf that's too expensive then the host should do the cleaning themselves. Or do like hotels and real B&Bs do and hire people as cleaners and pay them a salary. The entitlement is through the roof, when people pretend to run a business refusing to do any work themselves and refusing to hire people. As long as there are clients willing to use AirBnB and pay cleaning fees, sure. But it is a scam and not much more, as another poster pointed out.
- nick12r55t1 3y agoHa, $20/hr for house cleaners is so 2020. They're much more than that in reality.
- temporarara 3y agoAnd meanwhile the actual cleaners are rarely paid even $15/hr in many places. I always hire one or two person companies if I just can find them since then it's at least honest business and not yet another hustle to get rich by using slave labour. Not just for cleaning which I only rarely outsource but for everything.
- carlosjobim 3y agoWhat do you think hotels pay their cleaners?
- zeroonetwothree 3y agoIn my area cleaning rates are around double that.
- mrgoldenbrown 3y agoWhich developed country? The rates in a US city are generally higher than $200 for 10 hours.
