Hi,
I’ve read opinions about charging cleaning fees or not, and I see pros and cons to both.
So I was wondering: what if we give guests a choice? They can either leave the home as they found it or pay a reasonable cleaning fee.
Does anyone have experience with something like this?
Thank you
Hello. It’s a good possibility, I had it myself already and I chose depending on each situation ( flight or not, Big place or not, age of my kids etc)
We do this but spell out expectations. If you don’t pay cleaning this is what we mean by leave it as you found it. People still can mess up. Sometimes its not a big deal but sometimes it is so you have to know when to offer a choice. For example one weekend traveler did not empty the in house trash when asked. We came back a day later, because of what they had cooked the place smelled. Now had I realized this and understood more how time pressed them were we would have either turned them down or insisted on a cleaning fee. Had we been gone longer it probably would have been worse.
