I wonder if you've got that info in the listing for your place? "Listen, cleaning would cost me money, and that's impractical (and difficult!), so, y'know, might want to bring your own towels and check the bedding."

>If the guests help out the cleaning fees can in principle be much lower.

is it ever, though?

This cavalier attitude to, like, the basic overhead of running a hospitality business, is why I'm back on team hotel for most stays.

To be clear, my place is not on any listing service. Purely family and friends, I never rent it. I tell everyone "the cleaners are supposed to come but leave it so that if they don't the next person is not grossed out."

Ah, I misunderstood. I take back my excessive levels of disgust. Expectations are obviously different for private use between friends and family.

It's entirely reasonable to expect family and friends to properly clean up a place that you have kindly allowed them to use. But that is an entirely different domain (i.e. non-commercial).
