TurnHive vs Properly: scheduling and guarantees, not just visual checklists

Properly is known for visual, photo-based cleaning checklists. Those are great — and TurnHive has checklists too. But a beautiful checklist doesn't help if the cleaning was never scheduled, communicated, or confirmed. TurnHive leads with scheduling from your booking calendars and a ready-before-check-in guarantee, then adds checklists on top.

Checklists are a feature, not the whole job

The hardest part of turnovers isn't the checklist — it's making sure the right cleaning happens on the right day, that your cleaner actually saw it, and that nothing slips before a guest arrives. TurnHive is built around that: calendar sync, clear per-day tasks, confirmations, and automatic escalation when something's at risk.

What you also get with TurnHive

• Automatic scheduling from Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com iCal feeds — one cleaning per checkout, deduped across calendars.
• Multilingual instructions and checklists — your cleaner reads in their language.
• Ready-before-check-in guarantee with automatic escalation.
• Proof trail — arrival reports and photo history for damage disputes.
