I request Airbnb highlight in a listing when a host commits to 72-hr buffer between reservations (passive decontamination) as a Covid-19 safety measure.

@community In response to Covid-19 potential Airbnb guests understandably have concerns about safety, for which Airbnb has created a detailed "enhanced cleaning" protocol.   I view certain elements of the protocol to be completely impractical: as examples, the washing of every dish, etc. (we provide a service for 8, with multiple kinds of glasses, and a fully-equipped kitchen), and the taking down, washing, and rehanging of a cloth shower curtain -- after every reservation.  I cannot say at this point that I am able to commit to it.  

In support of guest safety, I am choosing to provide for a 72-hr buffer between reservations, in addition to usual fastidious cleaning plus disinfection of high-touch surfaces.  This 72-hr buffer results in a significant financial hit.  I am doing it anyway.

Currently, since I have not signed onto the "enhanced cleaning" protocol, a potential guest who is looking at listings is not alerted on my site to the big commitment I am making to support safety.  (This commitment is in fact the only commitment that Airbnb can verify.).  I have put in a request via "feedback" that Airbnb highlight the 72-hr host commitment as a safety measure; I have yet to get a reply.   I am wondering if there are others in my situation who want recognition for "passive decontamination"?

@Kris2850,

I don't think that there will be a badge for the 72-hour buffer, because I've postings here on the community that Airbnb stopped offering that option on July 31.  The closest option available is for two days between bookings.  Are you going into your calendar after each reservation, and then manually blocking three days after the scheduled departure?
