Cleaning is where most STR operations break. A single missed turnover costs you a five-star review; a pattern of cleaning issues costs you your Superhost status. The right cleaning management platform turns turnovers from a constant fire into a repeatable system. Our pick for serious operators is Breezeway. For hosts who just need a marketplace of cleaners, Turno (formerly TurnoverBnB) is the simplest answer.

Our pick: Breezeway

Best for: professional operators managing 5+ properties who need task-level quality control and integration with their PMS.

Starting price: $9–$15 per property per month, depending on tier.

Breezeway is purpose-built for STR operations. Tasks get auto-generated from PMS checkout events, assigned to cleaners, and completed with photo verification. The cleaner can't mark a turnover complete without checking the boxes and uploading proof. That audit trail alone pays for the subscription on the first disputed review.

Integrations with Guesty, Hostaway, Hospitable, OwnerRez, and every other major PMS platform are native and well-maintained.

Runner-up: Properly

Properly's defining feature is the visual checklist: every cleaning task is documented with photos and step-by-step visual instructions. Hand off a property to a new cleaner and they can work unsupervised on day one. Pricing is similar to Breezeway; the tradeoff is that Properly's operational depth is thinner, so it's a great choice if your bottleneck is cleaner onboarding, not task tracking.

For marketplace-based hosts: Turno (TurnoverBnB)

Starting price: free scheduling + marketplace fees.

Turno's core product is a marketplace where vetted cleaners bid on your turnovers. For hosts who don't have a cleaning relationship yet — new listing, new market, backup cleaner needed — this is the fastest way to get reliable turnover coverage. Scheduling and auto-notifications are free; the cleaners pay a booking fee.

Less suited for operators with established cleaning teams who just need task management.

How we picked

1. PMS integration depth. Turnovers should auto-trigger from checkouts. No manual scheduling.
2. Photo verification. A checklist without photo proof is just a to-do list.
3. Team management. Multi-cleaner assignment, backup cleaner logic, availability tracking.
4. Cost at scale. Per-property pricing that stays reasonable past 10 units.
5. Issue tracking. When a cleaner flags damage or a missing item, the platform should route it to the right person.

Who should buy what

If you have a trusted cleaning team and you're running 5+ properties, Breezeway is the right answer. If you're building a new operation and need to source reliable cleaners as well as manage them, Turno gets you moving fastest. If your pain point is cleaner onboarding and quality consistency, look hard at Properly.

Bottom line

Every operator scaling past 3 properties needs a cleaning management platform. The cost of an inconsistent turnover — the bad review, the disputed refund, the wasted hour investigating a complaint — dwarfs the subscription. Compare active options on our cleaning & turnover comparison page.
