I've been living full time in Airbnb for the past 5 years and it seems like cleaning had a lot of inconsistencies in terms of cleanliness.
There are the most common I had :
- Dirty walls
- Food between the couch
- Dishes not cleaned between guest
I'm mostly living in Europe, Asia and Mexico.
After talking with many hosts, it seems like all the hosts have their own standards and simply use airbnb as a hosting platform to get more booking. In some countries I've been like Bali, they never clean the ceiling or walls. It seems like it's a cultural thing not to clean everything properly. The definition of a deep cleaned house in Bali is radically different than what I experienced in my hometown in Canada.
Does airbnb provide a checklist of what should be cleaned or it's up to the host? I tend to have a concern as a guest of who clean the place I stay. Do hosts look back after the cleaning staff to make sure they follow a specific guideline.
I remember staying in Germany where the host had a checklist of every single items in his airbnb and he asked me to sign a paper making sure everything is present.
