My cleaners travel 25 mins each way to my remote home and spend 5 hours cleaning. In a hotel, with identical setups in each room, they can do a lot more work in that time.
My checkout list is clearly defined in my listing, which is doing great based on my ratings and bookings. The cleaning fee is not hidden.
I would re-evaluate if I were not successful.
- ihumanable 3y agoI'm confused, if the dishwasher takes 4 hours and the cleaners clean for 5 hours, why do the guests have to start the dishwasher?
- klinquist 3y agoAre we arguing over the difficulty of loading soap and pressing a button? Yes, it would be possible for the cleaner to do it, and I don't negatively review a guest who doesn't. But it makes things much easier if the cleaner can simply unload upon arrival... and once again, helps keep pests at bay. My property is in the woods and it can be a challenge.
- MissTake 3y agoThat’s entirely your problem. And sure, your listing may be doing “great” now, but what if Airbnb change the rules as they may start looking at doing? Sounds to me that your model may not be sustainable in the medium to long term. Life’s full of “we did like gangbusters last year until…”
- klinquist 3y agoIf it stops being sustainable, I'll change my policy. I'm willing to change. I'm always revisiting my policies / listing / amenities / etc.

- klinquist 3y agoI spend at least a week a month there. It's more my second home than a full-time business. It is not profitable.
