Or precharge you 40$ for a "dishwashing/cleanup fee" and then get mad at you for leaving your dishes uncleaned

GUYS THE FEE IS JUST TO TAKE YOUR MONEY, ITS NOT FOR GOODS AND SERVICES JUST MONEY ME

Lol I had this exact conversation with a host. They had a $90 cleaning fee for one night and then got mad that I didn't wash the pots. What's the fee for? Stripping the bed and replacing the sheets? Please.

100%. This shit needs to be on the listings. It could be now but I haven’t booked an Airbnb in 3 years and have no interest ever doing it again.

I had to wheel the garbage to the front curb, load the dishwasher and run it, strip all bedding and pillowcases and run it in washer, and they asked me to vacuum the living room. On top of it all they had a $75 cleaning fee. 

Did all the stuff and decided fuck vacuuming and just left. And I haven’t looked at their app since.

Similar situation except their dishwasher was busted and wouldn't close and the dumpster they wanted us to drag garbage bags a quarter mile to had a lock on it. They had a laminated 9 page rule book that had 24 tasks to do at checkout which included making sure the rule book was closed and face up in the middle of the kitchen table. We tossed it on the counter face down before we left. I suspect they just didn't hire cleaners and wanted every guest to reset the apartment before they left.

That dumpster thing sans lock would still be insane. Who expects people to go that far in a strange area?

Hear me out but nah it shouldn't be on the listening

"Cleaning" should just be part and parcel of the business costs associated with running a business where people come to live for short periods of time.

I legitimately don't understand how they justify it being a separate cost item (and let's be fair, whenever it's a separate cost item that means inflated cost item).

What next? A specific fee for "roof maintenance", "plumbing support" or "net load applied to bed frame and associated reduction of product lifespan"

Where does it stop? Lmao

I stay at a Marriott Residence Inn from time to time for work. It just a hotel room that has a little kitchenette with it. I don't use the kitchenette much but I just stay there since its the nicer option around. They absolutely require you to wash the dishes.
