For a short-let, the changeover is everything. Guests judge a property in the first sixty seconds, and a single missed detail — a smudged mirror, a stray hair, an empty coffee jar — can cost you a five-star review. A consistent, checklist-driven turnaround protects your ratings and your bookings.
Kitchen
- Wipe and disinfect all surfaces, hob and splashback.
- Empty and clean the fridge; check use-by dates on any provided items.
- Run and empty the dishwasher; check crockery and glassware for marks.
- Restock essentials — coffee, tea, sugar, dishwasher tablets, bin bags.
Bathrooms
- Descale taps, shower screens and tiles; polish mirrors streak-free.
- Disinfect the toilet inside and out, including the base.
- Fresh towels, folded hotel-style, plus toilet roll and soap restocked.
Bedrooms & living areas
- Change and inspect all bed linen; check under beds for forgotten items.
- Dust surfaces, skirting and light fittings; vacuum and mop floors.
- Reset the space to your listing photos — cushions, remotes, welcome pack.
Outdoor: pool and garden
In Cyprus, the outdoor space is often why guests book. A quick pool check and skim, tidy sun-loungers and a watered, trimmed garden make the difference between "nice" and "wow". This is where a combined team saves you — the same visit that cleans the interior keeps the pool and garden guest-ready.
Final walk-through
Finish with a photo walk-through: it documents condition, flags any damage before the next guest, and confirms nothing was missed. Consistency across every changeover is what turns first-time guests into repeat bookings.
