Airbnb and Vacation Rental Cleaning Cost

Airbnb and vacation rental cleaning is priced per turnover, not per hour, and it scales with bedroom count more than anything else. A typical 2-bedroom listing runs $130 to $180 per turnover. A same-day flip between a checkout and the next check-in costs more on top of that.

Cost factors

What changes the price

Bedrooms
The main driver. Every extra bedroom means more beds to strip, remake, and inspect.
Bathrooms
Each one adds real time, restocking, and a full disinfect between guests.
Linen service
The base price assumes a light, on-site change. Full off-site laundering of every sheet and towel is priced separately.
Restocking
Toilet paper, soap, coffee, trash bags. Small, but it adds up across frequent turnovers.
Turnaround time
A same-day turnover, checkout and check-in on the same day, costs about 18% more for the scheduling pressure alone.
Turnover vs deep clean

Two different jobs, priced differently

A standard turnover resets the space between guests: surfaces, kitchen, bathrooms, beds. A periodic deep clean goes further, the same baseboards-and-inside-appliances scope as a house deep clean, and costs 2 to 3 times as much. Most hosts run standard turnovers between every guest and schedule a deep clean quarterly, or whenever a longer gap between bookings makes the extra time worth it.

Frequently asked

Questions hosts ask before booking

How much does Airbnb cleaning cost per turnover?

A typical 2-bedroom listing runs $130 to $180 per turnover. Studios and 1-bedrooms run less, $65 to $100, and larger 4-plus bedroom properties run $220 to $320. Enter your bedroom and bathroom count in the calculator above for a specific number.

What is included in a standard Airbnb turnover clean?

A full surface clean, kitchen and bathrooms, a light on-site change of the linens already on the bed, and a general reset so the space looks guest-ready. Full off-site laundering of every sheet and towel, and restocking consumables like toilet paper and coffee, are typically priced as add-ons on top of that base.

Does a same-day turnover cost more?

Yes, typically about 18% more. A checkout and check-in on the same day gives the cleaning crew a tighter window and less flexibility, which most companies price into the job.

How often do hosts need a deep clean instead of a standard turnover?

Periodic deep cleans, the kind that gets into baseboards, inside appliances, and grout, are typically done quarterly or between longer guest stays, and cost 2 to 3 times a standard turnover. Most turnovers in between stay at the standard level.

Is laundry included in the Airbnb cleaning fee?

Often only partially. Many cleaners handle a light, on-site linen change as part of the base price, while full off-site laundering of every sheet and towel is billed separately, commonly $20 to $45 depending on the size of the unit.

Price your actual turnover, bedrooms, bathrooms, and whether you need same-day flips, in the calculator above. It is the number to build your cleaning fee around, not a flat rate that ignores how the property actually gets used.
