Most Airbnb hosts provide you with bed sheets when you visit their rentals. Whether they'll charge you for the linen is up to them. However, a few hosts will ask you to carry your own bedsheets.

You should check the description of the Airbnb and ask the host if you are concerned, however. Remember that the host can also give guests a rating, so washing your sheets is an excellent idea to ensure a gleaming review from your host. But again, definitely not expected.
Which Amenities Are Included In My Airbnb Booking? Airbnb hosts provide 5 essential amenities to guests: toilet paper, soap, linens, a towel (per guest) and a pillow (per guest). Expect these amenities no matter what “type” of place you book (private, shared, short-term, long-term).
Guests will be charged extra for any stained towels or linens. Use cleaning products as needed to remove stains from towels and linens. Don't use towels or linens to remove hair dye or other hair products. Guests are responsible for any damage to towels or linens.
All that being said, it's wise to replace your sheets and bath towels with some regularity. Here are some recommend timeframes: Sheets: If you've got a high occupancy rate year-round, aim to replace your sheets every 6-12 months at least. If you're not booked as frequently, once a year should do it.
As a general guideline, it's recommended to have at least two sets of sheets per bed. This allows for one set to be used while the other is in the laundry, ensuring a quick turnover between guests. Having spare sheets on hand is essential in case of accidents or emergencies.
The following content is not allowed on Airbnb:Spam, unwanted contact, or content that is shared repeatedly in a disruptive manner. Content that endorses or promotes illegal or harmful activity, or that is sexually explicit, violent, graphic, threatening, or harassing.
Stock up on the essentialsGuests will expect to find toilet paper, hand and body soap, towels, and linens, so make sure your space is stocked with all of these essential amenities. Airbnb recommends offering a minimum of: One towel per guest. One pillow per guest.
Essential amenities are the basic items that a guest expects in order to have a comfortable stay. These include: Toilet paper. Soap (for hands and body)
Some general recommendations are one roll for every two nights for a single guest and one roll for every booked night for two guests. Based on this, if you have four guests at your rental, you can leave two rolls for every booked night. You can always stock a few more rolls in the bathroom cabinet, just in case.
Strip the bed and group dirty linens together.It's a nice gesture to strip the bed before you go, and pile your dirty sheets and towels by the washing machine. However, it's not necessary to make the bed or fold any linens, as your host will throw them all in the wash anyway.
Ask for a refund: If you need to request a refund because of the issue, there's a higher chance your Host will accept your request if you can agree on an amount first. Send a request to your Host for the refund in the Resolution Center and provide the details of the issue along with the photos or video.
It's not uncommon for hosts to ask guests to take out the trash, run the dishwasher or start a load of laundry with the towels and sheets. There's no rule saying that Airbnbs can't do both — charge cleaning fees and require some light housekeeping.
Many hosts will request that guests gather any used towels and place them somewhere. This makes it easier for them to know which items need to be washed. Plus, even in hotels, they often ask guests to designate which towels are dirty and when they need to be washed, so it's just the common sense thing to do.
White towels with black makeup removal cloths are our choice for Airbnb because they're the easiest to maintain—and we all know how important cleaning is for Airbnb hosts. In case of any stains, you can use spot treatments on white towels without damaging their crisp look.
If you don't properly clean your towels, they can grow mold or mildew and start to have a musty smell that is not ideal for guests. You will need to replace them often to keep them soft and fluffy. Aim to replace your Airbnb bath towels every three to six months.
