UPDATE: A shocking list of extreme cleaning demands from an Airbnb host is sparking outrage among guests, leading many to reconsider their vacation rental choices. Users on social media are sharing their frustrations over strict regulations, including hefty fees for minor oversights.
The host, identified as Party_Wrangler7949bad, has implemented a stringent cleaning protocol that requires guests to return garage openers and remotes to specific locations or face steep penalties—up to $125 for lost items and $25 for each missing remote. Guests must also meticulously return all pillows, books, and decor to their original spots.
“This is why people are going back to hotels,” one user remarked, highlighting a growing trend among travelers who prefer the simplicity of hotel stays over the burdensome rules of some Airbnb rentals. Another user recounted a previous rental where they were expected to wash sheets and clean dishes, despite already paying a $150 cleaning fee.
Commenters are voicing solidarity with these frustrations, stating that if they have already covered cleaning costs, they refuse to perform additional chores. “I paid for the cleaning; I’m not doing extra work,” one user asserted, emphasizing the disconnect between guests and hosts.
This backlash against excessive cleaning expectations is resonating widely, with many declaring that the convenience and service offered by hotels now feel luxurious in comparison. “We will never go back to that,” a frustrated traveler stated, reaffirming the shift back to hotel accommodations.
As this story unfolds, the conversation around Airbnb’s evolving landscape continues to grow, raising questions about guest expectations and host responsibilities. With more travelers sharing their experiences, the impact of these extreme demands could reshape how rental platforms operate in the future.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation as the debate over vacation rental practices gains momentum.
