The formulas

  • Labor = time × loaded hourly cost
  • Cost price = labor + linen + supplies + travel
  • Suggested cleaning fee = cost price × (1 + margin), rounded up to the euro

Example: 2.5 hours at €25/h, €18 linen, €6 supplies and €5 travel make a €91.50 cost; with a 10% margin, charge €101.

Frequently asked questions

How much should you charge for Airbnb cleaning?

At least its real cost: time spent, linen, supplies and travel. Then compare with nearby properties: a cleaning fee that's too high weighs on short stays.

How long does an end-of-stay cleaning take?

It depends on the size, the number of beds and the condition of the property. Time three cleanings and take the average: that's the most reliable basis.

Should linen be included in the cleaning fee?

Yes, usually: the guest pays a single amount for cleaning and linen. Say so in the listing to avoid questions.
