GoKawiilAirbnb bars hosts from requiring guests to do cleaner-level chores before checkout
Airbnb announced a policy change, effective for bookings made on or after November 20, that stops hosts from requiring guests to perform tasks typically done by professional cleaners, such as stripping beds, washing dishes, or hauling out trash. The update follows years of guest complaints about excessive checkout lists and added cleaning fees. Hosts have reacted angrily on Reddit, Facebook and Airbnb's own forums, with some threatening to raise fees or organize collective pushback.
