Got a room in a guest house with a kitchenette. The owner said she would do the cleaning, but does this usually include doing the dishes? Even if I've been in a room with a kitchenette before, I had never used one!

Who is normally expected to wash the dishes for places fitted with a kitchenette?

Are you renting it using Airbnb or some like that? If yes, I believe it is polite you clean the dishes that you have used.

On the other hand, if you are in a hotel, I believe the hotel will have people to do these tasks.

  • No, it's not AirBnB, its a normal guest house booked from Booking.com. I've also had kitchenettes in hotels from Booking.com, Agoda and Expedia, but I still don't know who would have done this dishes. Some of these are upcoming stays, so it would be great to know! – Itai Mar 24 '17 at 19:12

    I am assuming that it is hotel or some like that. If yes, I believe you do not need to clean the dishes. – Marcel P. Mar 24 '17 at 19:14
  • Indeed, if there is room cleaning service, it includes the dishes. I left dirty dishes two days in a row and they were washed at the same time the room was cleaned I expect that AirBnB does not offer cleaning services, so one has to do it themselves, including doing the beds. – Itai Mar 26 '17 at 9:00

In general, try to leave the place cleaner than you got it.

Do the dishes, clean up the counter area, empty the fridge, put out the trash/recycle.

If it is a kitchenette in a hotel room, you could leave the dishes to be done by the hotel staff; if it is in a guest house, I'd clean it.
