Guests left OUTRAGED by Airbnb host’s extensive ‘checkout checklist’ which included a series of overbearing demands – from washing dishes to doing laundry – despite having already paid a $150 cleaning fee

• The unnamed guest took to Reddit to express their frustration at an Airbnb host
• The visitors had rented the property for a vacation in San Antonio, Texas
• They were told to do laundry and wash dishes despite having already paid a fee

Guests have expressed their outrage after revealing their Airbnb host gave them an extensive ‘checkout checklist’ that asked them to wash the dishes and do laundry – despite having paid a $150 cleaning fee. 

The unnamed visitors took to Reddit to share their frustrations as they revealed the list of tasks they were expected to take on before they checked out. 

They noted that they rented the home in San Antonio, Texas, and while they were happy to clean up after themselves, they thought it was unfair to have to do laundry after already splashing out cash on the imposed fee. 

In a thread titled, ‘Mildly Infuriating,’ the anonymous vacationers shared a photo of the cleaning instructions that were required of them and directed their anger towards the host of the Airbnb for charging them a $150 cleaning fee.

The unnamed visitors took to Reddit to share their frustrations as they revealed the list of tasks they were expected to take on before they checked out 

The visitors claimed that ‘Airbnb is getting out of hand’ before revealing: ‘We paid a $150 cleaning fee for them to give us these checkout instructions. 

‘I’m surprised they didn’t want us to stick around to dry the towels and remake the beds.’ 

The checklist asked the guests to remove all white linens and the comforter from the bed before leaving them on the floor. 

They were then surprisingly asked to start a load of laundry and wash all of the white towels using bleach. 

Guests were also told to wash and put away all the dishes, remove the food from the fridge, take out the trash, and scrub the floors with a Swiffer. 

In the comments section, one of the guests noted that they didn’t mind paying the fee, however, didn’t see why they should have to Swiffer or do laundry.

They added: ‘The price didn’t bother me, just the fact they wanted me to do a bunch of cleaning outside of the normal common sense ones. Of course I’ll wash my dishes and take out my trash, but I’m not Swiffering or doing a load of laundry with a cleaning fee.’ 

People flooded the comments section and slammed the host of the Airbnb for making the demands on top of charging the fee.

One person wrote: ‘I do zero chores if there is a cleaning fee.’ 

Another user added: ‘Absolutely — last one that asked me to clean up I politely requested the cleaning fee back. They refused, so I refused, and I left a rating accordingly.’ 

Someone else wrote: ‘Yeah it’s ridiculous to charge an absurd cleaning fee and then ask the guest to clean as well.’ 

Another user added: ‘How can they charge a fee for cleaning and make you clean too?’ 

‘People need to stop using Airbnb,’ added another user. 

According to Dennis Shirshikov, an Airbnb host who owns a rental property in upstate New York, ‘unreasonable cleaning demands, like asking guests to strip the bed, do laundry or vacuum, are no longer allowed,’ he told CBS News.
