Airbnb Turnover Maintenance: A Checklist for Barcelona Hosts
Guests rarely complain about the big things. They complain about a wobbly chair, a blind that will not close and a shower door that leaks onto the floor.
The five faults that cost you reviews
These come up again and again in short-let flats across the city.
- Blinds and shutters that jam or will not hold position
- Shower screens and silicone seals that leak
- Loose toilet seats, towel rails and shelves
- Doors that no longer close cleanly after humid months
- Dead bulbs in fittings nobody can reach
A between-guest check that takes ten minutes
Open and close every window, blind and internal door. Run every tap and the shower for thirty seconds. Switch on every light. Sit on every chair. Almost every emergency call-out we attend could have been caught by that walk-through a week earlier.
Batch your repairs
Keep a running note on your phone and book one visit a month rather than calling someone out each time something breaks. It is cheaper, and it means fewer blocked nights in your calendar.
