Airbnb cleanliness scores are non-negotiable for Superhost status. A 4.7 cleanliness average kills your Superhost eligibility. Here's exactly what a 5-star turnover looks like in Bangkok.
The 3-hour target
A well-trained turnover team can reset a 1-bedroom Bangkok condo in 3 hours. Larger units run 4–5 hours with 2 cleaners. If your turnovers are taking longer than this, your workflow needs restructuring.
The pre-turnover 10 minutes
- Pre-strip all linens and towels from every bed and bath
- Empty all trash into a single bag
- Open all windows if weather allows (air out)
- Start a laundry load while you work on the rest
Kitchen (30 minutes)
- Wash any dishes the guest left behind
- Wipe all counters, stovetop, and range hood
- Check inside the microwave — always has food splatter
- Open the fridge, remove any guest leftovers, wipe shelves
- Restock tea, coffee, water, and whatever your listing advertises
- Empty and reline the trash bin
Bathroom (30 minutes)
- Scrub toilet, including base and behind
- Clean shower — tile, glass door, drain hair
- Polish all chrome (taps, showerhead)
- Wipe mirror with glass cleaner
- Restock toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner
- Replace used bath mat with clean one
- Replace towels and hand towels
Bedrooms (45 minutes)
- Fresh sheets, tight hospital corners
- New pillow cases on every pillow
- Check under the bed for lost items
- Dust the headboard and nightstands
- Vacuum the floor, including corners
- Fold fresh towels at the foot of each bed (photo op)
Living area (30 minutes)
- Vacuum upholstery and under cushions
- Dust TV, console, coffee table
- Clean all mirrors and glass
- Fluff and arrange throw pillows
- Check behind the sofa for guest items
The final walkthrough (15 minutes)
Walk through the entire property as if you're the guest arriving. Check-in from the front door. Sit on every seat. Flush every toilet. Turn on every light. This catches the 10% of issues that fool the cleaner but would get flagged by a guest in their first hour.
The photo report
Send photos of every cleaned room to the host via LINE within 15 minutes of finishing. This creates a record of condition, proves turnover completion, and builds trust with absentee hosts. This is standard practice with CLEANROVA turnover service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I pay for an Airbnb turnover in Bangkok?
Market rates run ฿800–1,200 per turnover for a 1-bedroom condo, ฿1,200–1,800 for 2-bedroom. This typically includes supplies and a photo report.
How fast can a turnover happen between guests?
With a dedicated team on-call, Bangkok turnovers can happen in 2.5–3 hours, which fits in most same-day turnover windows (usually 11am checkout to 3pm check-in).
Do I need to provide supplies?
Most professional Bangkok turnover services provide cleaning supplies. You'll typically provide guest consumables (toilet paper, soap) and linens yourself, though services like CLEANROVA offer consumables replenishment as an add-on.
CLEANROVA Airbnb turnovers include photo reports, linen change, consumables restocking, and a 3-hour completion guarantee.
