Airbnb Turnover Inspection Checklist for Hosts
Between guests, hosts need more than a few cleaner photos. A structured turnover record can help document cleaning completion, visible damage, missing items, and the property's condition before the next check-in.
After checkout
- Inspect the property as soon as possible.
- Photograph each room before the next guest arrives.
- Document visible damage, stains, missing items, or unusual mess.
- Confirm whether cleaning was completed.
- Keep evidence organized by room and date.
Rooms and areas to document
- Entryway and locks
- Living room
- Bedrooms and bedding
- Kitchen and appliances
- Bathrooms
- Floors and rugs
- Walls and furniture
- Windows and blinds
- Outdoor spaces
- Storage areas, supplies, and amenities
Photos to take
- Wide photos of each room after cleaning
- Close-ups of damage or stains
- Photos of furniture, appliances, and fixtures
- Photos of missing or broken items
- Photos of supplies, remotes, keys, or access devices if relevant
- Final readiness photos before next check-in
Common mistakes to avoid
- Relying only on cleaner text messages
- Not documenting the property before the next guest arrives
- Taking photos without timestamps or room organization
- Missing small but important issues like stains, scratches, or broken fixtures
- Not keeping a report that can be shared later
