wash all sheets & towels and return,


who the hell requires this? Any AirBNB that asked for this would be an instant decline. I like to be courteous so whenever i leave I will always tidy up just on general principal, and will typically take out all the garbave even if the listing doesn't ask to. We never use any dishes. But I'll be damned if I'm goign to do laundry.

You generally don't see checkout intstructions when booking and normally not center until very soon before check in (if not after) and well beyond cancellation deadlines. I've never seen a request to return towels or linens but have had requests strip them. Now, more places than not that I have stayed in have requested to leave the linens but we normally throw towels in the tub or shower to get them out of our way.

I have had several ask me to strip the beds and/or bring all towels to the laundry room. I never have an issue with that ,and I get it as their cleaning crew is trying to turn over rentals quick.

The one that requested I do the sheets/towels and make the beds appeared to be a newer rental; so I assumed they just didn't put much thought into it and were probably their own cleaning crew (they lived 2 blocks away). When I saw the instructions, I responded with

Me: It's a little ridiculous that I need to wash all sheets & towels upon my arrival and departure
Owner: We don't require you to wash those upon arrival
Me: If I'm relying on the previous renter to have the sheets, blankets, and towels cleaned in all bedrooms (3) and baths (2), with beds made and towels put away before 10am checkout; you can be certain I NEED to wash them before I use them myself.
Owner: Our crew washes them when they do the cleaning
Me: Then why do I need to waste your water & electricity to do something you already do
Owner: We will make sure to confirm you clean all bedding & towels

After leaving: 1 star review that was blocked/removed from being posted as "to personal to guest stay"
