Rate the guest

Before completing a cleaning job, you may be asked to rate how the guest left the property.

To leave a guest rating:

  1. Review the Guest rating section.

  2. Select the appropriate star rating based on the condition the guest left the property.

  3. Continue reviewing any remaining task details before completing the job.

Your feedback helps your host better understand the condition of the property after each stay.

Guest ratings are available for cleaning tasks and may not appear for every job.

What happens next?

After you complete a task:

  • Your host is notified that the task is finished.

  • Some tasks may require your host's approval before they move to the next stage.

  • If your host pays teammates through Hospitable, the task will enter the payout process according to your host's payout schedule.

Payment timing depends on your host's payout schedule and whether the completed task requires approval before a payout can be processed.
