How to Price Airbnb Cleaning per Turnover
Airbnb turnover cleaning is typically priced flat per turnover based on bedroom and bathroom count — a one-bedroom runs $60–$100, a three-bedroom $120–$200+. Same-day back-to-back turnarounds (checkout and check-in the same day) carry a premium over a standard next-day clean, and linen laundering and supply restocking are usually priced as add-ons unless the host has explicitly bundled them into the flat rate.
Base pricing by bedroom count
Flat per turnover, scaled to size:
- 1 bedroom: $60–$100
- 2 bedroom: $90–$150
- 3+ bedroom: $120–$200+
This assumes a standard turnover clean — not a deep clean, which should be priced separately for a first clean or a periodic deeper pass.
Same-day turnarounds are a different job
A same-day checkout-to-check-in turnaround has a hard deadline you don’t control — the guest’s checkout time and the next guest’s check-in time both bound your window. That pressure justifies a premium, commonly 20–30% over a standard next-day clean.
What’s usually an add-on, not included
- Linen laundering. Washing, drying, and re-making beds is real time beyond wiping surfaces and vacuuming — price it separately unless the host has explicitly bundled it.
- Supply restocking. Buying and restocking toiletries, coffee, or paper products is a purchasing task, not a cleaning one.
- Damage or excessive mess reporting. Documenting guest damage or an unusually messy checkout (beyond normal wear) is worth a photo record and, if it adds real time, its own charge.
Volume discounts, priced deliberately
Hosts with multiple units or a high-turnover calendar sometimes negotiate a volume rate. Decide your discount threshold up front — say, a modest per-turnover reduction past a certain number of monthly turnovers — rather than negotiating a new number every time a host adds a property.
Keep pricing consistent across a host’s properties
If you clean several units for the same host, price by the same bedroom- count logic across all of them. Inconsistent per-property pricing is the fastest way to get a “why is this one more” question from a host comparing invoices.
Frequently asked questions
Should I charge more for same-day turnarounds?
Yes. A same-day turnaround means you have a hard deadline and no flexibility if the clean runs long, which is real added pressure and often faster required pace — many cleaners add 20–30% for guaranteed same-day service.
Is linen laundering included in the base price?
It varies by host arrangement, but most cleaners price it separately unless it's explicitly bundled — washing, drying, and re-making beds is real additional time beyond the surface clean.
Should I charge for restocking supplies?
Yes, if you're the one buying and restocking guest supplies (toiletries, coffee, paper towels) — that's a purchasing and inventory task distinct from cleaning, and it deserves its own line.
