Airbnb bans making guests do dishes and take out the trash

Airbnb 禁止房东要求房客洗碗和倒垃圾。

Airbnb 的新规将房东的要求限制在“合理”范围内，例如将脏碗碟放入水槽中。该规定由 Stevie Bonifield 于 2026 年 10 月 21 日下午 7:54 发布。

Checking out of your next Airbnb might be less of a hassle now that the company is banning hosts from including time-consuming chores in their house rules. Airbnb’s updated house rules policy, which starts with reservations booked on or after November 20th, says hosts can’t ask guests to “complete tasks that require significant effort or time, or would typically be performed by a cleaner.”

当你下次从 Airbnb 退房时，可能会变得更加轻松，因为该公司已禁止房东在房屋守则中加入耗时的家务要求。Airbnb 更新后的房屋守则政策适用于 11 月 20 日及之后预订的订单，规定房东不得要求房客“完成需要大量精力或时间，或通常应由清洁工完成的任务”。

According to Airbnb, that includes: Dishes: Guests shouldn’t be asked to wash and put away dishes, but you can ask them to put used dishes in the sink. Laundry: Guests shouldn’t be asked to remove sheets from the bed or start a load of laundry, but you can ask them to gather used towels. Trash: Guests shouldn’t be asked to take garbage off-site, but you can ask them to separate their trash and recycling into designated indoor bins. Utilities: Guests shouldn’t be asked to avoid using a listed amenity like air conditioning, but you can ask them to turn it off when they leave.

根据 Airbnb 的规定，这包括：餐具：不应要求房客清洗并收好餐具，但可以要求他们将用过的餐具放入水槽。洗衣：不应要求房客拆卸床单或洗衣服，但可以要求他们收集用过的毛巾。垃圾：不应要求房客将垃圾带离现场，但可以要求他们将垃圾和可回收物分类放入指定的室内垃圾桶。公用设施：不应要求房客避免使用空调等列出的设施，但可以要求他们在离开时将其关闭。

Airbnb is displaying hosts’ requests more prominently now in a new “rules and requests” section on listings. You might see an “includes cleaning requests” warning if a host leaves chore requests in their listing after the new policy goes into effect. Hosts aren’t allowed to sneak in extra rules in messages to guests or on signs around their property, either.

Airbnb 现在在房源页面的“规则与要求”新板块中更显著地展示房东的要求。如果新政策生效后房东仍在房源中保留家务要求，你可能会看到“包含清洁要求”的警告。房东也不允许在给房客的消息或房产内的标识中私自添加额外规则。

Some hosts pushed back on the house rules restrictions on Airbnb’s forums, saying they pose health risks and arguing that guests can simply choose not to stay at listings with overly-strict rules. Airbnb says there can be exceptions to the limits on checkout chores, like asking guests to “dispose of trash in an animal-proof container in bear country.”

一些房东在 Airbnb 论坛上对这些房屋守则限制表示反对，称其会带来健康风险，并认为房客完全可以选择不住在规则过于严格的房源。Airbnb 表示，退房家务限制可以有例外情况，例如要求房客“在熊出没地区将垃圾丢弃在防动物容器中”。
