Summary

AI-generated

Airbnb hosts with hot tubs must drain, disinfect, and refill the water between every guest to ensure a clean and safe experience. Failing to do so can lead to negative reviews and damage your listing's reputation, especially in competitive markets.

Key insights

  • Some online advice suggests hot tubs don't need frequent draining like pools, but this is considered 'gross' and is not recommended for short-term rentals where guest expectations for cleanliness are high.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to drain, clean, and refill a hot tub between every guest is a significant hygiene oversight that can quickly lead to negative reviews and a damaged reputation for a short-term rental.
