If you haven't booked yet and know you'll need an earlier check-in, go to the listing and click or tap Contact Host to send a message asking if you can arrive earlier. You'll be able to find out whether or not this is possible before you book a reservation, and will end up saving money (and time).

Vacuum, mop, or deep-clean.You also don't need to worry about cleaning floors, unless you've spilled something. Many hosts post “House Rules” setting cleaning expectations, and there's no need to go above and beyond. You're on vacation, after all — and a cleaning fee is often included in the cost of your reservation.
A late check-out fee is a surcharge added to your nightly rate to cover the cost of a guest staying past the check-out time in your accommodation, which may potentially incur extra cleaning charges and of course the inconvenience.
Again, there are no set standard check-in or check-out times and each host can decide a time that works best for them. It is recommended for a 2 pm-4 pm check-in and 10 am-12 pm check-out time.
Airbnb doesn't allow for hidden cameras or any other types of concealed recording devices. It does allow hosts to install security cameras in or around the property – as long as they're not in private areas like bedrooms or bathrooms, and as long as they are properly disclosed.
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.
The majority of hosts on AirBnB do change the sheets between guests. This is a standard practice for most hosts, as it ensures that each guest has a clean and comfortable stay.
Booking with a Superhost also doesn't mean you'll necessarily be staying with them—you may have the place to yourself. Being a Superhost simply means providing outstanding hospitality.
Charge Late Check-out FeesAirbnb gives the decision over to the hosts to allows for late guest check-outs or not. Many hosts require their guests to pay a late check-out fee for the extra hours they stay at their property.
New changes will also come to the guest checkout experience, Airbnb announced. Hosts won't be able to require guests to do labor-intense chores, like vacuuming or doing laundry, but can direct them to do light cleaning and housekeeping tasks, like throwing food away or turning off the lights.
Cleaning fees help hosts get their rentals cleaned and ready before guests arrive for their stay. It also protects the host from absorbing the cost of cleaning up after guests depart. Although it's common to see the fee on listings, there are some things to consider to avoid scaring off potential guests.
Is your Airbnb host spying on you? A recent survey shows that more than half of the people who have stayed in Airbnb listings are concerned that they could be recorded on hidden cameras, while more than 1 in 10 guests have actually found surveillance equipment.
