Airbnb bans check-out chores like stripping the bed or taking the bins out
Euronews.com • • world
Key Points:
- Airbnb has updated its community policy to prohibit hosts from including check-out chores that require significant effort or time, such as stripping bed linen or washing dishes, in their house rules.
- Hosts can still request minor tasks like placing used tableware in the sink, but cannot ask guests to perform cleaning tasks typically done by professional cleaners.
- The updated house rules are now more visible, appearing on the listing page, trips tab, and in reservation reminders, with seven standard rules covering key aspects like check-in/out times and guest limits.
- Hosts may add reasonable requests, but Airbnb will flag and require removal or appeal of any requests that violate the new policy.
- Cleaning fees are intended to cover standard tidying between guests, and hosts cannot charge guests for failing to complete tasks listed as check-out chores.
