I'm an Airbnb Superhost. I agree with the new rules; guests shouldn't have to feel like cleaners.

The net has been buzzing about Airbnb's latest policy alter complete restrictions on what a presenter can — and cannot — ask a visitant to do before they inspect out.

I've been renting my residence in the Hudson Valley for five years, and have been a Superhost since 2023. Currently, I have 90 visitant reviews alongside an average ranking of 4.97. That's not an accident. It's item I activity difficult at.

Though the property administration company I activity alongside hasn't continually loved it, I've never been big on requiring guests to prosecute a strict cleanup policy. While we did ask for dishes to be done at one time, that hasn't been part of my visitant instructions since 2025. For me, the most crucial tasks are to rotate off the lights and come back the key to the lockbox before guests leave. Beyond that, I don't anticipate much else, although I cognize that hasn't been the norm for several Airbnb users.

Guests are motionless guests

Somehow, the B&B part of the nomenclature appears to have gotten lost. I've seen users who fear bad reviews if a location isn't meticulously cleaned, voicing their concerns on Reddit and Facebook. For me, that's not item I think person should have to concern concerning whenever they're paying to use a space.

I am glad the business has intervened on behalf of the guests. They are staying at a holiday rental, not a activity exchange.

Hosts akin me can have small period between bookings

I comprehend the rationale rearward hosts who have many of rules. There is frequently a small opening between turnovers, and hosts desire to create certain they have adequate period to cleanse and dry everything before the next guests arrive.

It's item I concern about, too. That's why I keep additional linens and dishes on hand. They're there to use fair in case there isn't adequate period to complete everything between the bookings.

At one point, my property manager and I disagreed complete what we wanted guests to do. I felt as if he was taking it personally if person remaining dirty dishes in the descend or didn't clear up. With this regulation change, we'll no longer be at odds, and I'm glad.

Most guests have been respectful of the space

I am fortunate. I have rarely had a visitant be item small than tidy, and I have additionally had hardworking cleaners who have taken linens residence to cleanse since turnovers have been so tight.

None of my guests have complained concerning my rules immediately to me or in the comments they've remaining online concerning my property. I average to keep it that way.

I presenter since I bask it

Everyone has their own reasons for getting into this business. For some, it is purely fiscal, but for me, it has been personal. This is my house, and I obtain enormous pride in it and the surrounding area. I vet all possible visitant personally and hand-pick a welcome gift for them. I desire them to have a beautiful stay, depart alongside fond memories, and perchance equal a desire to come back one day.

The final item I desire a visitant to do is concern concerning a lengthy checklist of tasks before leaving. I don't desire that to be their final recollection of their stay.

Soon, a mother and female volition be staying at my asset for the third twelvemonth in a row. In my emails to them, I desired them a harmless journey and stated we would obtain attention of the remainder — and I meant it.
