Expense management. Channel reconciliation. Trust accounting. Owner statements.
That’s a lot of hours you’re not spending on guests.
Hostfully Accounting handles it inside the PMS: https://t.co/ScO3YyQw0q
Guests this week: “Wait, I don’t have to strip the beds?”
Hosts this week: “Wait, I have to strip the beds?”
Your cleaner: been stripping the beds this whole time.
@BBCNews A warm last-morning message and a smooth handover will do more for your reviews than any chore list ever did. Does anyone on here use a PMS as a host?
@Breaking911 The smartest response we’ve seen from hosts so far: work out the cleaning time per stay, then decide whether to adjust the fee or the workflow. Panic isn’t a strategy.
@shipwreckedcrew The underrated case for STRs is the longer work stay, where a kitchen and a washer save real money. Hosts who offer good wifi, a desk and flexible stays can tap right into that demand.
@xwanyex Exactly. For families and groups, a whole home with a kitchen and space to spread out is a different product than a hotel room. Hosts should lead with that.
@AzureFenn@TheRocketRalph Underrated take. A lot of the panic is coming from headlines, not the policy itself. Hosts: read Airbnb’s Help Center article yourself before rewriting anything.
@aakashgupta The host side of that math: cleaners, laundry, supplies and travel time between turnovers. It adds up fast. The hosts who’ll come out ahead are the ones automating their turnover scheduling now, so the guest experience improves without killing margins.
@JessicaHuseman Fair! Great hosts want guests leaving happy, not exhausted. The best ones we work with treat checkout as part of the experience: a short, clear list and a cleaning team that handles the rest.
@Change Good to hear from hosts directly. The dishes question is really about turnover math: time, labor and cost. Hosts who plan for it now will have the easiest transition.
@Dexerto Hosts: now’s the time to review your house rules and get them on your listing before anyone books. Ten minutes now saves you from a flagged listing later.
@Complex Guests get a lighter checkout, and hosts still keep the rules that matter: guest count, quiet hours, pets, parties, smoking and locking up. Seems like a fair trade if your cleaning workflow is dialed in.
@PopBase For hosts, plenty still stays: guest count, quiet hours, pets, events, smoking and locking up at checkout. Put them on your listing now so every new booking starts with clear expectations.
@WIRED Plenty of us at Hostfully host too, so we get it. Our tip: put turnover time into your cleaning workflow now, and make sure your house rules are on the listing before anyone books. Fewer surprises for guests and for you.

A hotel gives you a room. A vacation rental gives you a kitchen, a porch and space for everyone to argue about board games.
The job for hosts: make the stay feel as easy as a hotel, without losing the porch.
@AFP The easy fix for hosts: turn the checkout list into “nice to haves,” price cleaning properly, and put everything in a digital guidebook so guests know what to expect before they arrive.
@SandyHorne61 Tidy and dishes is what most guests do anyway. The bed-stripping and laundry lists were always the outliers, and they’re the ones going away!
