Airbnb is changing its global rules for accommodation. Hosts will no longer be able to require guests to strip bedding, wash dishes, or take out trash outside the accommodation before leaving. The platform is thus responding to long-standing complaints from travelers who considered these tasks inappropriate, especially when they were also paying a cleaning fee. The Guardian ↗
The new rules will limit the scope of duties hosts can impose on visitors upon departure. Airbnb stated that hosts may use seven standard house rules, with the required tasks having to be reasonable. Activities that will no longer be allowed to be required include carrying trash to the dumpster or putting used linens in the washing machine. BBC News ↗
The change applies to accommodations offered through the platform in various countries. However, hosts may still set rules regarding behavior in the apartment, use of appliances, or other common conditions of stay. According to the published information, they may not, for example, prohibit the use of air conditioning if it is available in the accommodation. Der Standard ↗
Airbnb is thereby adjusting the relationship between the cleaning fee and guests' obligations. Cleaning after departure is to be ensured to a greater extent by the host or a service appointed by them. The new rules are intended to bring more uniform conditions for guests and reduce the number of disputes regarding departure duties. HVG ↗
