Airbnb cleaning in Lima
There are about four hours between one guest leaving and the next arriving. What happens in that window is what holds up the property’s rating, and a single bad cleaning damages a score that took months to build.
Airbnb requires an overall rating of at least 4.8 to keep Superhost status. Cleaning is the category that pulls it down fastest, because it is the first thing a guest checks on walking in.
So cleaning is not contracted loose: it runs on a per-property checklist with photographic evidence of how each room was left. If something is missing or damaged, the record already exists when it is time to file the claim.
Laundry leaves the apartment. Nothing is washed on site between bookings, because drying time does not fit in the turnover window and half-dry bed linen is a bad review waiting to happen.

Questions about cleaning
01Who pays for the cleaning?
It is charged to the guest as a cleaning fee within the booking. The amount is calibrated carefully: set too high, it inflates the total stay price and hurts the listing’s ranking.
02What if the previous guest leaves the property in a bad state?
It is documented photographically, raised with the guest and, where it applies, filed as a claim through the platform. The evidence is always captured, not only when there is an obvious problem.
03How far in advance is it scheduled?
The turnover is booked as soon as the reservation is confirmed. When a departure and an arrival fall on the same day, the whole 11:00 to 15:00 window is worked.
