True, if you have access to a kitchen that is. Also, more homely than a hotel room
You have to look very carefully now at the cancellation policy. Not all of them have the 48 hrs policy.
Thatās a really good point! Cleaning fees have become a major factor for many travelers when choosing between Airbnb and hotels. Itās understandable ā if guests are expected to pay a high cleaning fee and still do chores, it can make hotels feel like the better value, especially with perks like points and daily housekeeping. Hopefully, more hosts start adjusting their fees or expectations to stay competitive!
I donāt clean Airbnbs, Iām paying a cleaning fee for them to clean. However, my reviews typically say how clean I left it, which makes me wonder how most people leave Airbnbs. Iām just a generally tidy person. If itās a place with a kitchen, I wash any dishes I use and put them away, but I donāt vacuum, mop, clean bathrooms, etc. Iāve had a few ask me to take out garbage which I did, but thatās pretty much it.
I wouldnāt want to stay at a place that had the prior guests do the cleaning, that could be very bad.
