The fees are abnb related not owner related. The cleaning fee is a one time fee for the trip for 50% of one night it seems. This is killing the weekend vacation ideas, stay 2 days pay a half a day in cleaning, it's screwing people over and hotels are the same if not better cause you get that continental breakfast.

Cleaning fees are owner related. They have nothing to do with the price of a night, but more so with the labor cost and the size/scope of the house which happens to hover around 50% of the cost of a night in many areas.

Labor costs are quite high to clean a home. I know it might not seem like it, but to turnover a house right costs a lot of money.

Usually costs me $300-350 (big house). I don't mark it up. Pay cleaners a living wage. Laundry, mopping, vacuuming takes a long time. If you aren't paying a good chunk for cleaning, I'd be concerned.

Not everyone does the duvets as an example. That's nasty.

And many don't pay their cleaners a fair wage.

So it sucks, but renters can't be trusted to clean the house. Nor completely launder everything.
