Leaving dishes in the sink could cost an Airbnb guest more than a bad review
Moldy dishes left behind at checkout are considered a serious problem by Airbnb and indicate that a stay has crossed into a level requiring host action.
Guests are expected to avoid leaving the space needing excessive or deep cleaning, with moldy dishes explicitly mentioned as unacceptable in the policy.
Hosts can request reimbursement through Airbnb’s Resolution Center for damages or extra cleanup caused by guests, and guests have 24 hours to respond.
Standard cleaning fees cover normal turnover tasks but do not cover extra cleanup caused by guests, nor can hosts charge extra for missed checkout duties.
