Airbnb Requires Hosts Meet New Cleaning Standards

Airbnb has introduced higher sanitation standards for hosts, requiring them to commit to health and safety guidelines by November 20th. Guests must also agree to these guidelines when booking. Both hosts and guests are expected to wear masks and practice social distancing. A five-step cleaning protocol, initially optional, is now mandatory. Hosts who comply receive an Enhanced Clean badge on their listings.
