How to Prepare Your Property for Back-to-Back Bookings

Back-to-back bookings can be a dream for revenue and a challenge for turnaround time. When one guest checks out in the morning and another checks in that same afternoon, efficiency and organisation are everything.

Here’s how to prep your Airbnb for seamless back-to-back turnovers.

1. Have a System (and Stick to It)

Create a standard turnover checklist covering every detail; from linens and rubbish removal to replenishing supplies. This ensures nothing gets missed, even on the tightest schedule. Keep a digital copy that cleaners can access on their phones for consistency.

2. Streamline Your Supplies

Make sure your cleaning team knows exactly where to find everything. Keep duplicate sets of bedding and towels on-site so the dirty load can go straight to laundry while clean ones are used immediately.

Pro tip: Label storage boxes (e.g. “Guest Towels,” “Kitchen Restock”). It saves valuable minutes when time is tight.

3. Coordinate Laundry Efficiently

If you handle laundry off-site, plan ahead. Partner with a laundry service that offers same-day turnaround or set up an in-house system with a spare set ready to go.
This alone can shave hours off your prep time.

4. Restock Smarter, Not Harder

For frequent turnovers, monitoring supplies becomes key. Keep a master list of essentials and restock in bulk to avoid last-minute shortages.
If you use a cleaning company like The Guest Prep Co., we can manage and monitor your restocking for you, so you’re never caught short between guests.

5. Focus on the Guest Experience

Even with a fast turnaround, don’t sacrifice the little touches that make your stay memorable; a neatly folded towel, a fresh welcome scent, or a thoughtful note.
Speed is important, but consistency and care are what guests remember.
