The holiday-rental turnaround clean, done right

A same-day checklist for getting an Airbnb guest-ready between back-to-back bookings.

On the Costa del Sol, back-to-back bookings are the norm in season, and a changeover clean has to be fast without cutting corners. The secret is a fixed checklist that runs the same way every time.

Strip and remake every bed with fresh linen, refresh all towels, and sanitise both bathroom and kitchen. Restock essentials, run the dishwasher, and reset the space to its welcome-ready state — exactly as the listing photos promise.

Just as important is reporting: a quick note on anything damaged or missing protects the host and keeps reviews glowing. Done well, the turnaround is invisible to guests and the reason they leave five stars.
