Airbnb curbs checkout chores as Hilton, Marriott expand (thepointsguy.com)

Airbnb is barring hosts from requiring guests to wash dishes, strip beds, take trash off-site or forgo amenities, limiting requests to tasks like putting dishes in the sink or gathering used towels. Hilton Honors members can now pay checkout bills with points via the app, starting at 150 properties with about 6,000 expected by next year, while Hilton for Business adds tools for companies to book and manage employee stays. Marriott's Luxury Collection launched Expeditions including Kyoto with an artist, Italy in classic cars and Turks & Caicos beach fishing, and Beyond Green added El Silencio Lodge & Spa in Costa Rica and Hotel Món Sant Benet in Spain.
