Hmmm. I can’t tell if it’s an amenity or something the host wants the guests to use. No mention in the rules. Makes me think of a public restroom. It’s a whole house rental. The red arrow is part of the listing photo. I didn’t add it.

I thought Airbnb was trying to be more like a hotel but maybe some hosts are trying to be more like an airport. To each their own but this makes my “fresh roll of TP for every guest” and black light obsolete. LOL

Also, in some sort of recent study or other, it’s been shown that those things can have many more germs on them than the loo seat. Yeah, I know what those studies are like but still…
As a potential guest I’d just worry why that was provided - don’t they clean the loo seat or something?

Looks big enough to print a few house rules on it, though. Or a reminder to leave five stars.

Weird, but to each their own, I guess…

I have only ever seen those things in the US, never here in Australia.
Recently Walmart employees were asked where the company’s budget measures cut something important. One of the top items employees wanted back —paper toilet seat covers.

I remember going into a hotel bathroom once many years ago. (It was in Daytona). There were those strips of paper stretched across the loo reading ‘sanitised for your protection’. There were several dead cockroaches on them.

So, you knew it was sanitized with the really good stuff.

Surely sanitized cockroaches are better than non-sanitized ones?

Weird… Just weird.

Palmetto bugs are also called water bugs because they are drawn to wet areas. I’ll bet they were sanitized palmetto bugs!

That picture is a big turnoff for me. I wonder what
made the host decide to offer seat covers?

Hard to say… There listing has 99 photos. It seems the host likes to show attention to detail.
There are at least 4 other photos of disposable toilet seat covers in both bathrooms.
I can see this being desirable for an Airbnb that had multiple rooms listed and guests sharing bathrooms with strangers, but not so much in an entire house.
It’s a nice place otherwise with a killer view. It’s not in the US, so an imported Kimberly-Clark toilet cover dispenser with refills must be pretty expensive.
So it’s basically an apart-hotel with a large scale operator. It doesn’t seem so off in a place like that. I agree that in a home it would be off-putting.
