The guest cleaning fee is not a profit center, but it should not be a loss either. Here is a simple way to set it.
Add up what a turnover really costs
- The cleaner’s price for your bedroom and bathroom count.
- Laundry, if you pay for it separately.
- Restocking: soap, paper goods, coffee, trash bags.
- A small allowance for wear and replacement.
Compare with similar listings
Look at comparable homes in your area and see how they split cost between nightly rate and cleaning fee. Guests compare total price, so a very high fee can hurt conversion even if the nightly rate is low.
Review it a few times a year
Cleaner pricing changes with demand and your market. Revisit the fee when your costs change, and use real bids as the benchmark. Posting a job and reading the bids is a free way to see what the going rate is.
