Should you bring your own bedding to Airbnb?

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.

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 more they get used, the more worn they will get over time. Guests value appearance but if the appearance and comfort level isn't there, it's a recipe for a bad review so it's important you change your Airbnb bed linen. Ideally, you should aim to replace your Airbnb bed linen every six months.

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.

Treat your Host's home like your own Cleanliness: Guests should not leave the listing in a state that requires excessive or deep cleaning (moldy dishes, soiled carpets, stains from pets, etc.).

Items can range from water bottles and snacks to a wine bottle to a magnet from a local gift shop. As Airbnb hosts, a gift basket is a great way to go the extra mile in the guests eyes. If you are striving to get all the positive reviews you can, consider leaving a welcome package of some soft the each group of guests.

You can show good manners to your host by always being honest with them. Don't try to slip things past your host hoping they won't notice. For example, if you have extra guests beyond the rental's guest limit, ask your host if they could be included. The same goes for if you'd like to host friends at the rental.

Clothes. Airbnb guests will (quite reasonably) expect empty wardrobes and drawers in their bedrooms. Whether you're renting out a single room or your entire property, your guests will need somewhere to store their own clothes and luggage and may feel uncomfortable if your clothing is still in evidence.

Bring in some storage: Airbnb guests often have lots of luggage, so make sure you provide them with enough storage space. Armoires and trunks are ideal for storing clothes and other belongings. If you have the extra space, adding a dresser is also a good idea.

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.

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.

Travelers piled on, too, sharing their own reasons for abandoning Airbnb: high prices, steep cleaning fees and a lack of service that stands in stark contrast to hotels.

The average cleaning fee on Airbnb is between $50 – $80, however, this average is somewhat misleading. With such a huge spectrum of listings from tiny rooms in shared houses, to opulent mansions with 10+ rooms, it's very hard to find an accurate average.
