An Airbnb turnover checklist your guests will notice
What to reset between every stay so your listing photos and your reviews stay consistent.

Consistency beats perfection
Guests compare your space with your listing photos. The goal of a turnover is the same result every time, so write the checklist down and follow it in the same order.
Fix every time
- Hair in the shower or sink
- Smells in the fridge or bins
- Crumbs in the toaster or sofa
- Missing basics like toilet paper
Can wait for a monthly deep clean
- Inside the oven between short stays
- Tops of tall cabinets
- Behind heavy furniture
- Window tracks
Report what you find
A turnover is also an inspection. Note anything broken, missing, or running low and tell the host the same day.
