Airbnb updates house rules, prohibiting mandatory guest cleaning tasks
What happened
Airbnb has updated its guidelines to limit what property hosts can require of guests. The new rules explicitly prohibit hosts from requiring guests to perform tasks normally handled by a cleaner, such as washing dishes or changing bed linen, especially since guests already pay a cleaning fee. These updated guidelines apply to all bookings made on or after November 20.
