Airbnb guests no longer have to wash the dishes or strip the beds at checkout
The short-term rental company says guests can no longer be asked to wash dishes or handle other major checkout chores.
- Airbnb announced an updated policy on October 20 that takes effect November 20, restricting hosts from requiring guests to perform time-consuming chores like washing dishes or stripping beds.
- These changes follow years of guest complaints about cleaning fees paired with checkout chores, alongside recent viral TikTok backlash over hosts criticizing guests for minor issues like misplaced pillows.
- Hosts may still request guests place used dishes in the sink or separate recycling, provided all rules are visible on the listing page before booking occurs.
- Airbnb will flag non-compliant rules in the listing editor, though exceptions allow hosts to request guests limit shower time during local water restrictions or dispose of rubbish in bear-proof containers.
