Let's say AirBnB charges a $400 cleaning fee, I leave the place nicer than I arrived and ran the dishwasher and also throw all used sheets and towels in the washer and and ran it. Why the hell am I paying $400 for cleaners, yet left a list of things to clean?
Are AirBnB hosts making money on cleaning fees, or just getting hosed by their managing company or cleaners who put "fake honey do" lists before you leave. I preferred AirBnB's before the cleaning fees, instructions, and rules became ridiculous. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it worth it? I'm trying to decide if that's the route I want to go. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: So, I own 4 and manage 4 others. Most are in the Black Hills but one is in Hochatown(Broken Bow) OK. Ask me anything about the rental process and whatever else you want to know. They are a good deal if you're staying multiple days with multiple couples. Not so great if you're looking for single night stays. Is it worth it? I'm trying to decide if that's the route I want to go. Believe me. Avoid like the plague. Find an extended stay hotel. I have rented hotel rooms with a full apartment kitchen with bedroom and living room for a fraction of what AirBnB charges these days. AirBnB made their name, and then tripled the fees. |

Is it true that sometimes during raunchy sex, the Airbnb renters will sometimes use the TV remote controls as dildos inserting them into vajayjay's and buttholes? Because I heard that it's not uncommon to come upon a smelly remote every so often.

I preferred AirBnB's before the cleaning fees, instructions, and rules became ridiculous. Would like to know where you are having to pay a $400 cleaning fee. What type, size, and location is the place? We only ask the guests to run the dishwasher and pull the sheets off the beds. And of course to put their trash in the trash can that’s in the kitchen. Our cleaning fee is $275. This is for a four bedroom 3.5 bathroom house that is 2900sqft. I can guarantee my house is cleaner than any hotel when the crew is done. We offer soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash in each shower. There is drip pot coffee, k-cups, creamers, and teas at the coffee bar. Ten water bottles are chilled in the fridge for every guest arrival. Even have a ping pong table in the garage. Now, would I prefer the cleaning fee be rolled into the nightly rental, sure, but owners are responsible for the cleaning and none of the services will provide that. I asked our service to roll it in and they seem stick in their ways about that. Maybe because they want to wash their hands of that side of it. |

Does being a douchebag come naturally to you or did it creep up on you slowly?
Charging a "cleaning fee" and making guests clean anyway... It's your rental, you clean it. I don't see hotels asking guests to strip the sheets and pick up the trash, nor do I see "cleaning fees" added to the bill. And you can't be a very good Christian if you are a slumlord AirB&B owner. You think your neighbors like having a constant stream of unknown and often shady people showing up and partying and God knows what else next to them? Freaking AirB&B owners are worse than lawyers and democrats. |

Any fees appear to be posted with the listings. So, why rent a place with a high cleaning fee? I've never completed their booking process. Is the "total price" shown on the web site not really the "total price"? IIRC, there's also some BS about the "host" having to "like" the potential renter. WTF? |

Since OP cut and run...
We own 1x Airbnb in SW PA. The home is historic and was a mess when we got it, needed full rehab. We are in it for about $120k total. The business is highly seasonal. Peak is memorial Day through just after Columbus day. Oct is actually highest due to leaf peepers and regional festivals. It is a 2 bed/1 bath. We charge a $100 cleaning fee and ask guests to wash dishes, take out trash, turn down the heat, and lock the door. Our cleaners charge $35/hour and a typical turn is $140 but it can be more. We manage it from a few hours away. Our cleaner is great. We have a semi reliable handyman/lawn guy/snow plow guy which is currently our weakest link but it's worked out thus far. I do a fair amount of the work on it myself. Occupancy? We are happy to get 2-3 solid bookings per month. 2 night minimum, no instant book and we set the price so as to clear at least a few hundred bucks on a weekend booking. Our goal is not to get rich but to offset the costs of the place, which it does. If we want to go up we "soft block" the dates with a sizeable price increase, and if it's booked then we go somewhere else. We find MTR more lucrative and less hassle. If you can get a decent tenant in there for over 30 days with a normal lease and security deposit that's ideal. We do full tenant screening for any 30+ day stay with written criteria for credit scores, criminal records etc. For guest screening on Airbnb we look at previous reviews they have gotten, we also look at the reviews the guest has left. If the guest has ever left less than five star reviews. -- especially if unjustified ("nice place! 4 stars") we will usually not rent. We also usually ask briefly why they are visiting and if the answer is weird we don't rent. The tax write-offs are substantial but require some bookkeeping. We currently have no broadband Internet up there, and no A/C. One MTR used a starlink which worked great, just too much $$$ for our market at the moment. It's cool in the mountains and a portable a/c has been more than enough. |
