Airbnb Cleaning Pricing Guide for UK Hosts
A simple way to think about cleaning costs so you don’t underprice (or overpay) for your Airbnb turnovers.
Cleaning is one of your biggest operating costs as an Airbnb host, but it's also one of the easiest levers to pull for better reviews. Underpaying can backfire; overpaying kills profit.
1. Think in terms of average revenue per stay
As a rule of thumb, cleaning should usually sit comfortably below your average nightly rate, but high enough to attract reliable pros. Big city studios might sit around one night's rate; larger homes slightly higher.
2. Separate base clean vs add-ons
- Base clean: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, bins, floors.
- Add-ons: linen service, deep clean, oven, fridge, outdoor areas.
