Airbnb Inspection Checklist
An Airbnb inspection checklist is used between guest stays to check that a property is clean, presentable, functional, properly stocked and ready for the next guest. It also provides a structured way to identify damage, missing items and maintenance problems before the next booking begins.
Why inspect an Airbnb property?
Turnaround between guests can be tight.
A property may have been cleaned but still have a broken item, missing equipment, damaged furniture, a failed appliance or something that needs attention before the next arrival.
The inspection provides a final check that the property is actually ready.
What should an Airbnb inspection cover?
Typical checks include:
- Damage left by previous guests
- Cleaning and presentation
- Missing or broken items
- Appliances and fixtures
- Furniture
- Guest supplies
- Bathrooms
- Kitchen
- Bedrooms and living areas
- Maintenance issues
- Anything that could affect the next stay
- Overall property readiness

Cleaning is not the same as inspection
Cleaning answers:
Has the property been cleaned?
Inspection answers:
Is the property actually ready for the next guest?
Those are not necessarily the same thing.
Record problems while they are found
Photographs can be particularly useful where damage or defects are discovered. Recording the problem at the time of inspection creates a clear record and allows the issue to be dealt with before the next booking.
