Guest asked to remake bed on departure??
I have a question for seasoned Vrbo guests or hosts.
I have used short term rental platforms, especially Airbnb, for many years. This is the first time I've encountered this.
The VRBO house instructions say you can get a "discounted" cleaning rate if you do certain tasks on departure. One of those tasks is not only to strip the bed, but to remake it with clean linens. I probably over 100 stays, I have never seen such a thing before.
Apart from it being unusual, why on earth would I as a guest trust that the former tenant had changed the sheets. Why would the host assume that?
Has anyone heard of this policy before? You have the option to refuse to do it (along with the usual extra tasks like taking out the trash, stripping the bed, washing dishes) though you incur an extra $50 fee, but that's not really the issue.
Interested in experiences! I'm now paranoid that the former tenant didn't change the sheets. I don't have evidence of that, but how do I know?
