Airbnb limits chores for guests, sparking backlash from hosts

Airbnb has updated its policies to limit the types of chores guests can be required to do, which has sparked backlash from hosts who claim it will negatively impact their businesses. The new rules aim to deter hosts from 'punishing' guests with excessive cleaning tasks, but some hosts are concerned it will lead to more messes and longer cleaning times. The changes come after a survey found that 75% of guests reported feeling 'punished' by excessive cleaning tasks. The updated policy will be rolled out in the US, Australia, Canada, the UK, and New Zealand.
