Daily....I never use my towels two days in a row...and perhaps your guests don't either...how uncomfortable would they be having to reuse a towel a second or third day ...ugh..like using the same dirty plate three days in a row...

@circles - Hardly the same at all. You're using a towel to dry off after you've bathed.
I think the environmental costs of washing a load of towels every day is very high. And any guest who feels "uncomfortable" in my or anyone else's home is perfectly free to book into a hotel. (Incidentally, most hotels now request that guests reuse their towels more than once, for the same environmental reasons.)
JMHO. I think we can be too germophobic.

Most guests stay for a weekend so there are plenty of towels for them to use fresh ones every day if they wish. Our most frequent long-term guests are my parents and they are perfectly comfortable running a washer load of towels on their own schedule or asking me to do so.

Make sure you have a wastebasket in the bedroom for them. Also a clock that glows at night (although some people always check their phone for the time).

I do not have a "guest" bathroom.....but if I did, and had guests, I would give them clean towels every day.

I treat guests the way I would like to be treated. I use my towels for a half week. I would think a new towel every half week would suffice.

Oh when I have guests for a few days I treat them almost like a hotel does. I gather and wash their towels and replace them daily. I make a little basket for them with toiletries so they don't have to worry if they forgot shampoo, etc.

I don't have overnight guests.
If I did, I would make sure they had clean towels every day. Whether or not they used them would be up to them.
I do have a guest bathroom. I have a wicker tray with C-fold paper towels. Everyone that uses the bathroom has a clean towel to dry their hands.

I have a beautiful tray with all kinds of lotions, various hair products, scented soaps, extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.,, you get the idea. I also put out two large hand towels by the sink, and towels and washcloths at the very end of the counter. I do have a large vanity (is that the word? Lol, anyway whatever the sink is in) between the bedroom and the bathroom. It's a Jack n Jill. And I put out nice bottled water.
I also have have a beautiful basket on the floor that I put rolled towels, hand towels, and washcloths in. Nothing is worse than staying at someone's house and having to hunt for towels 😜
Don't forget a nightlight, candles, a few magazines, etc. I will even make a basket sometimes with snacks and candies to put in the bedroom if they are staying a few days. And a nice blanket folded across the bottom of the bed. Some people get cold even in the summer ( we like the AC cold). And have a few types of shampoo, conditioners, and bath products for them to choose from. And extra poofs.
Sorry to rattle on, I'm tired. What I find about the towels is most people will still not want to seem imposing so they tend to use the same one. What I do is say, usually at breakfast, that I'm doing a load of towels, if they would like to bring their's down, I can go ahead and throw them in. That seems to work well and they can use a fresh towel everyday, or at least every other day.
I know not everyone has that much room, but doing a little extra really makes your guests feel welcome.
@Reba055 I want to come visit you
