You have now hit upon the second-most contentious topics on this Airbnb forum with a lot of strongly held opinions. (If you curious, the question of whether anything with scent should be used to clean, or wash is the first-most contentious topic.) That said, you can safely ignore comments claiming to know what "all guests like.' Stick to listening to opinions from verified hosts about what has worked well for them.
Based on several years of participating on this Airbnb host forum I would say a slight majority of hosts prefer all white, cotton linens for the ease of bleaching, noticing stains, and getting stains out. This preference is particularly pronounced among hosts who use hired-cleaners. I have been a host for going on 6 years, I clean my Airbnb myself, as well as doing my own laundry. I prefer dark colored linens, and I have never ever had a guest complain about not having white linens.
