Cleaningfee

A cleaningfee is the amount a guest pays toward the cost of preparing a flat for their stay, shown as a separate line item rather than folded into the nightly rate.

Why it is shown separately

Splitting the cleaningfee out lets a host keep the nightly rate itself competitive in search results while still covering the real cost of a turnover between guests. Guests generally understand and expect it, since almost every short-let platform shows one.

What it is meant to cover

A cleaningfee is meant to cover the cost of the clean itself, not an extra margin on top of it. Setting it too low relative to the real cost of a turnover is a common first-listing mistake, one that shows up later as an unsustainable price once bookings pick up.

Conclusion

A cleaningfee should reflect the real cost of a turnover, not just what competitors happen to charge. See the full price list by bedroom count for what that cost actually looks like.
