TurnHiveTurnHive vs Turno: a simpler alternative for coordinating your own cleaner
Turno (formerly TurnoverBnB) is best known as a marketplace to find and pay cleaners. TurnHive solves a different problem: you already have a cleaner you trust, and you just need every turnover scheduled, communicated, and guaranteed ready before check-in — without spreadsheets or calendar spam.
The core difference: marketplace vs. your own team
Turno's model centers on a marketplace: browse cleaners, book projects, run payments through the platform. That's useful if you're looking for a cleaner. But most short-term rental hosts already work with someone they trust — a partner, a family member, a small local crew. TurnHive is built for that reality: it coordinates your cleaner, not a stranger, and never inserts itself into how you pay them.
Where TurnHive stands out
- Multilingual for cleaners. You write instructions in your language; your cleaner reads them in theirs (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese). This is where most tools drop the ball.
- Guaranteed ready before check-in. If a cleaning hasn't been confirmed, TurnHive escalates automatically before the guest arrives — the anti-no-show guarantee.
- Dead-simple, dashboard-first. No calendar invitations landing in spam. Your cleaner opens one screen and sees exactly what to do today.
- Flat, predictable pricing. A fixed monthly price by number of properties — no marketplace cut, no per-reservation fee.

Frequently asked questions
Is TurnHive a marketplace like Turno?
No. TurnHive doesn't connect you with new cleaners or process payments. It coordinates the cleaner you already trust — scheduling, instructions, and confirmations — and you pay them however you already do.
Can I switch from Turno to TurnHive easily?
Yes. You connect the same Airbnb, VRBO or Booking.com iCal links, and TurnHive detects your turnovers automatically. There's a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
Does TurnHive work if my cleaner speaks another language?
That's a core feature. You write in your language; your cleaner sees everything in theirs — English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Portuguese.
