Holiday home cleaning prices will really depend on the size of your holiday home, what you need to be cleaned, and the time required to clean your property.
As a ballpark cost, the hourly rate of an independent holiday home cleaner is around £10 – £15 per hour. For a cleaning agency, it would be anywhere from £12 – £20.

The most common complaints to prevent with holiday home cleaning

- Stained bed sheets or towels
By hiring a trusted holiday let or Airbnb cleaner you can effectively remove the risk of receiving any one of these complaints.
When it makes sense to outsource your Airbnb cleaning
For some holiday property owners, they can clean the property themselves. But this isn’t possible for everyone.
So here are 5 key benefits to outsource your cleaning:
- To save time for yourself – by not cleaning yourself you can maximise your time for other areas of your business. Focus on the customer service for your guests, the marketing to grow your business, or even use the time to spend it with your family.
- If you don’t live locally to your holiday home – it wouldn’t be feasible for you if you live miles away from your holiday home for you to travel to it just to clean it. Hiring a holiday let cleaner is a much more cost-effective way.
- If you have a full-time job – with a full-time commitment elsewhere there is certainly no time for you to clean. And even if there was some time to clean, you may not want that pressure to clean quickly after a hard day’s work. Mistakes may be made and lead to unsatisfied guests.
- To hand over the responsibility to a professional – a cleaner takes the pressure off you. Even better, a professional cleaner will be able to shoulder the pressure as they’re experienced in holiday let cleaning.
- Achieve a standard of clean that you possibly couldn’t match – a professional cleaner will have the experience, products and equipment to do a fantastic job. They will clean from top to bottom at a higher standard than you can.
