Cleaning & Turnover Management
Hotel-standard turnovers, paid by the guest, documented on video every single time.
Cleaning and turnover management from Host North gives Airbnb properties in Barrie, Orillia, Muskoka, and Northern Ontario reliable, hotel-standard cleaning between every stay, without the owner paying for it or managing it.
Guests pay a cleaning fee on each booking, trusted cleaning teams handle the turnover, and every visit is documented with before-and-after video sent to the owner. Cleanliness is the single biggest driver of Airbnb reviews, so this is the part of the operation where cutting corners costs the most.
Who Pays for Cleaning
The guest does. Each property gets a cleaning fee based on its size, layout, and cleaning requirements, typically in the range of $180 to $260, with larger or more complex properties varying.
The fee is charged to the guest on every booking whether they stay one night or a month, flows through Airbnb, and pays the cleaners. The owner pays nothing out of pocket for turnovers, and there are no cleaning invoices to track.
Turnover Videos and Owner Updates
Every time cleaners arrive, they record a short video showing the property's condition before they start, and another when they finish showing it cleaned and reset for the next guest. This creates a clear record of the property at every single turnover.
If a question ever comes up about damage, missing items, or cleanliness, the video evidence exists. I send these videos to owners, which means you see your property regularly without driving to it, and small maintenance items get spotted before they become expensive ones.
Maintenance Spotting and Coordination
An actively cleaned property is a monitored property. Cleaners and turnover videos regularly surface plumbing drips, heating issues, appliance problems, and pest signs early, which matters most for seasonal homes and cottages that would otherwise sit unwatched for weeks.
When something needs fixing, I coordinate with my network of electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other trades to get it resolved quickly, with repair costs remaining the owner's. Owners who want the fully hands-off version, where I also restock coffee, soaps, paper goods, and linens, choose the 20% tier of full-service co-hosting.
