Being an Airbnb host can sometimes be a truly incredible, beautiful experience. However, that does not mean Airbnb hosting and guest turnover is simple. It’s a full-time job.
The trend around staycations seems to be picking up more than ever. Our partnered hosts around the UK are experiencing overwhelming amounts of back-to-back bookings. And whilst this is excellent news from a business perspective, it also adds more pressure to the turnover of properties quickly and effectively.
HelloGuest combats this by offering an all-inclusive Airbnb UK management service, including professional cleaning services that ensure your property is ready for the next set of guests. Find out more.
Airbnb introduced a new “enhanced cleaning initiative,” which includes a 24-hour vacancy period between bookings, according to the company’s blog post here.
The 5-step cleaning process outlines cleaning practices that all hosts must follow between guest stays alongside local laws and guidelines.
Hosts who violate cleaning standards can be subject to warnings and suspensions and, in some cases, have their accounts removed from Airbnb. This shows that the platform is serious about cleaning management and the ty of guests.

One of the most challenging parts of being an Airbnb host for a holiday home is keeping up with the cleanliness, turning over the property, replacing linen and towels, cleaning the surfaces, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and disinfecting.
This can be even more difficult when you have back-to-back bookings, with guests checking out at 10 a.m. and new ones checking in at 3 p.m.
This is where HelloGuest steps in and takes the hassle out of hosting and cleaning at the same time. We work with local cleaning services with solid reputations who can bring that pristine, clean hotel feeling to your homely rental property.
With us, you will always be guest-ready.
