Depends on each individual “host”. You’ll usually find a binder with checkout instructions.
These range from things I would consider reasonable like take out trash, load the dishwasher, and reset the thermostat to absolutely insane demands like scrub the toilet, wash all linens, wash the towels, make the beds, etc.
I’ve only ever encountered the more reasonable requests. Some would consider that unreasonable, but these particular places charged a very reasonable cleaning fee so it didn’t bother me. If someone wants $200 then any request becomes unreasonable imo
I think one of the issues is you don’t know about these insane cleaning rituals until AFTER you’ve booked the place. At least that was my impression. Correct me if I’m mistakes.
No, the expectations are in the listing. If the in-binder expectations are different, then that’s not part of the deal and you don’t do them and/or leave a bad review.
Do they actually do this? Charge a cleaning fee and expect you to clean?
I’ve literally never been at an Airbnb so this concept is foreign to me.
At least with hotel chains I know what the expectations are.
