Airbnb is updating its cleaning rules for guests in short-term rental properties. From November 20, hosts will not be able to require guests to wash dishes or run the washing machine before checking out.
The restriction applies to tasks that require significant effort or time, or that are usually performed by a cleaner. The update displays the guidelines and requirements in the booking terms clearly, and requirements from the host to the guest are presented transparently.
Anyone who fails to meet the terms may find themselves on the platform's blacklist. Hosts will be able to require guests to perform only reasonable chores.
