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.
Turnover cost by property size
| Property size | Cost per turnover |
|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | $65 to $100 |
| 2 bedrooms | $130 to $180 |
| 3 bedrooms | $175 to $245 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $220 to $320 |
What changes the price
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.
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.
