To help ensure your safety and well-being, we consulted with government, health, and travel industry experts to offer hosts guidance and best practices for cleaning and disinfecting a vacation rental property.   

 
You can find information about additional cleaning measures taken by the host in the Policies section of the property page. Some additional cleaning measures that can be taken based on regional and industry standards are:  

  • Enhanced cleaning practices  
  • Cleaned with disinfectant  
  • Number of days between guests   
  • Check-in and check-out with no person-to-person contact  
  • Disinfected high-touch surfaces (such as light switches, handles, and faucets)  
  • Towels and bedding washed at 60ºC/140ºF between stays  

You can also search for properties that other guests have rated highly for cleanliness using the filter Highly rated for cleanliness under the More filters button. You can also reference the cleanliness rating above the average nightly rate for properties that have 4+ star reviews for cleanliness.
