Judy, I'm also new to hosting and found myself in the same situation. I didn't charge a cleaning fee and chose "smart pricing," as you did. I ended up only getting $13 a night, when you can't find ANY place that low! I want to give my guests a good deal, but not to my own detriment. Does anyone know how much a cleaning fee should be? I have to clean my whole house with special attention to the guests' bedroom and bathroom areas, plus washing and changing their sheets, pillow cases, towels and other bedding such as blankets and spreads. I'm thinking $20 isn't too much, but I don't know.
