If they just would cap the fees it would be viable. But I’m not paying a $200+ cleaning fee on top of the nightly rate and other fees.

- upon_drumhead 3y agoI recently was looking at one place and started the process to book it when I realized that the cleaning fee was $279/night and the stated rental rate was $179/night. The cleaning fee was significantly larger than the rental fee!
- IAmGraydon 3y agoThey don’t charge cleaning fees by the night, nor can you set it up that way when you’re listing your property. It’s one fee for the stay.
- upon_drumhead 3y agoYou are correct, I amortized the fee to a per-night value, for a long weekend (Friday night until Monday morning). I should have been clearer on that.
- brandall10 3y agoCan't recall cleaning fees higher than $100 over the hundreds of AirBnbs I've looked at (generally studios/1 beds throughout Europe and major US cities which would be seen as hotel competitive units). Was that for a house or something like a luxury 2 bed in NYC? I've heard this is a major issue but I feel like it's very rare thing, usually it's what I'd expect for having to clean a 500 sqft space. The only time I'm disappointed is say a $50 fee is assessed for use of a bedroom.
