Airbnb has introduced a new policy prohibiting hosts from asking guests to perform certain tasks, such as washing dishes or replacing bed sheets. The new rules, set to take effect on November 20, 2026, outline what the company considers "reasonable requests." Hosts cannot ask guests to wash dishes, put bed linen in the washing machine, or dispose of their garbage.
However, hosts can request guests to put dishes in the sink, collect used towels, or separate recyclable waste.

According to Airbnb, the new policy aims to prevent hosts from asking guests to do too much, leading to dissatisfaction and a better guest experience.
