2026 host survey · 90 seconds · Anonymous

What do you pay your Airbnb cleaner?

Most published cleaner-rate numbers are either anecdotal or scraped from cleaning-service listings that don't match what hosts actually pay. Help us fix that. Add your rate below — results will be published as a live chart updated weekly.

90 seconds, fully anonymous

Five questions: market, property size, what you pay, what's included, whether you think it's fair. No email, no tracking, no payment.

Why run this survey

When a host new to Airbnb Googles "how much should I pay my cleaner," the first page of results is a mix of cleaning-company marketing, stale Reddit threads, and platform marketplaces where cleaners are posting aspirational rates. There is no single credible source for what hosts are actually paying in 2026.

We're collecting that data — openly, with no gating. Every respondent gets a link to the raw (anonymised) results once we hit 50 responses. The aggregated chart is already live on our cleaner-rate post and will update weekly as data comes in.

What we're collecting

  1. Your city / market (used only for grouping, not stored)
  2. Property size (bedrooms, bathrooms, rough sqft / m²)
  3. What you pay per standard turnover, currency
  4. What's included (linens/bedding, supplies, laundry service)
  5. Whether you think the rate is fair, too low, or too high
