Guest-ready turnovers when the booking lands
Lauren runs a West Coast B&B and knows the Sea Point turnover squeeze. Checkout morning used to start in a WhatsApp group, with a cash cleaner or a guest asked to wait.
Book the cleaner when the reservation lands. Set the start to checkout, usually 10:00, and add a Standby if the window is tight. Access codes, linen and parking go in the job. You pay in the app when the turnover is done.
Host playbook
When to book and what to put in the job
A short checklist for Airbnb, Booking.com, hotel and B&B hosts in Cape Town.
- Book when the reservation lands, not on checkout morning, so workers have time to apply.
- Set the start time to checkout, usually 10:00.
- Use a 10:00 to 14:00 turnover window for most short-stay flats.
- Add access codes, linen and Wi-Fi notes in the job description.
- Add a Standby worker if checkout timing is tight.
- List bins, bathrooms, kitchen and floors so the cleaner knows what guest-ready means for your unit.

FAQ
Good to know for hosts
-
Does this work for Booking.com and hotels?
Yes. Book the turnover in JobZapp when the reservation lands. Works for Airbnb, Booking.com, guesthouses and small hotels. Your guest does not need a JobZapp account.
-
How long should I book between checkout and check-in?
Most Cape Town turnovers run four hours, often 10:00 to 14:00. Post at least six hours ahead for daytime slots so cleaners can apply before checkout.
-
When should I book a turnover?
Book as soon as your reservation lands. Do not wait for checkout morning. JobZapp requires at least 6 hours' lead time for daytime turnovers so local cleaners can apply and you can confirm before the 10:00 AM window.

How long is a turnover clean?
Most Cape Town turnovers run four hours, often 10:00 to 14:00 between checkout and the next check-in. You see the full estimate, including the worker rate and booking fee, before you confirm anyone.
-
Can I book the same cleaner again?
Yes. After a good turnover you can post again and book the same worker for your next checkout. Many hosts keep one vetted cleaner on rotation across their listings.
-
Do I need to supply linen or cleaning products?
Most hosts provide their own products and linen. Mention anything unusual, such as a linen cupboard, lockbox code or parking bay, in the job description when you book.
