I totally agree,
In Finland it is normal for guests to clean summer cottages themselves, we immediately moved to that strategy in the spring. We provided a detailed cleaning guide, updated our listing and provided all the cleaning materials.
For us this is better because,
1. Reduced risk of transmission to from us.
2. Reduced costs to us, airbnb bookings are down 50% this year.
3. Reduced risk of transmission between guests (guest bring their own bedding [cleaning does not kill viruses] and we have time between bookings where the cottage is empty as well)
This has hurt us already on AirBnB, we lost our superhost status because our cleanliness score went down, i can tolerate this though until this is over. We will get it back later down the road.
In this situation, now on Airbnb, our costs go up, our bookings are down, it makes no sense for us to use this platform anymore.
In this world of staycations, domestic free to use platforms have been far more effective for us so we will now focus on that. Prices will be set high on AirBnB so that we can cover these extra costs/inconveniences. Or i will just block the calendar. I have not decided which yet. In any case airbnb will be getting less money out of us for sure.
In our solution, guests can choose what they are comfortable with. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
