Cleaning fees seem very polarizing, some people hate them, others love the option to pay and not have to clean.
Would love to have a checkbox similar to Smoking or Pets, as to whether cleaning fee is charged, not charged, or optional. Then have filters where people can search by their preference.
For now the policy of HE is to enable cleaning fees where really required ( often second homes which the owners can’t go to between exchanges), but for these fees to remain exceptional and not to become the norm. Having a filter could make members, particularly new ones, think that it was common practise to ask for fees, whereas many members are against them.

I would happily pay to have a cleaning person come in after my stay even in a primary home. Easier to catch early flight, not have the stress of cleaning to someone else’s standards, etc.
