The Airbnb Cleanliness Standard Explained
Airbnb guests expect a space that feels untouched. Any sign of past guests triggers a complaint. Listings rated 4.8 or higher get more bookings. The gap between 4.7 and 5.0 is often small missed spots: the toaster tray, the top of the fridge, and dusty baseboards. Alex's crew works from the same list guests use to review. Full rental turnover is not offered. We do not restock supplies or change linens.
The Spots Hosts Most Often Miss
The top of the fridge, the toaster tray, and bath baseboards are common misses. Our crew checks these on every STR clean.
