Airbnb bans hosts from making you do the dishes
Any chores that a cleaner might do are no longer deemed reasonable requests for visitors. Airbnb is codifying some of the clean-up guests can be asked to do before leaving a property.
AI Summary
Airbnb has updated its policy to clarify what chores guests may be asked to perform before checking out. The platform now says hosts can request tasks, but only if they are reasonable. Examples of unreasonable requests include removing bedsheets or doing loads of laundry, while collecting used towels is considered acceptable. The policy states that hosts should not ask guests to complete tasks that require significant effort or time, or that would normally be done by a cleaner. This change aims to limit the workload placed on guests during their stay.
