They Didn’t Clean Their Airbnb After They Saw the Cleaning Fee. Were They Wrong?

I’m gonna go on the record here and say that if I’m paying a cleaning fee for an Airbnb, I don’t want to hear any feedback about leaving the place dirty.

I’d never leave a place dirty anyway, but I do gotta say that if there’s a big cleaning fee tacked on, it’s up to the owner to clean the place.

One example: I rented a house on Airbnb a few years ago in Oklahoma for my friend’s wedding. I paid a pretty hefty cleaning fee for the place and when I got there, the owner had left an instruction sheet for me…about cleaning, taking out the trash, and running the dishwasher when I left.

But all I could think was, WHY AM I PAYING A CLEANING FEE IF I’M THE ONE DOING THE CLEANING?

I did what they asked but I thought the whole thing was ridiculous.

Okay, my rant is now over…check out this story and see what you think…

AITA for not cleaning my AIRBNB after they charged a ridiculous cleaning fee?

“I stayed at a airbnb and they charged a 105 dollar cleaning fee.

I didn’t see the instructions until after we were there. I’m not sure if it was hidden, or they updated it or what. I only saw it when they texted us. The instructions were to take out the trash. The dumpster is about 1/4 mile away. To put all the sheets in the washing machine. To scrub all the table counters, wash out the shower mop the floors and other s**t.

F**king ridiculous there’s a cleaning fee for 105 dollars when we’re literally doing all the cleaning. My wife and I decided to not do any cleaning at all other than basic stuff. IF we spilled food on the counter, obviously I cleaned it up and I flushed the toilet but I’m not going to go out of my way to scrub the s**t out of the sinks showers and floors or take the trash out that far.

The AIRBNB owner called me and he said I was a massive a**hole for not cleaning it and how I should be doing what I’m supposed to whatever.

I just hung up.”
