Airbnb recently changed to a host-only service fee of 15.5%. To protect your payout, Hospitable automatically made a one-time adjustment to your Hospitable-managed fees, ensuring you still net the same amount after host service fees are deducted.You can change your property fees anytime by navigating to the Property → Pricing → Fees tab.We've also made an important change to how we report guest fees on Owner Statements and Invoices. 🔍 What’s changing Owner Statements will now show net income from cleaning fees, pet fees and other guest fees after host service fees are deducted. (Previously, we showed the gross amount the guest paid.)This paints an accurate picture that’s in alignment with how host service fees are charged — on both the nightly rate and every guest fee. This change ensures that whoever is responsible for paying the host service fee gets the benefit of any increase applied to offset that service fee, so that your owners are not unintentionally charged for both host serv

This impacts hosts who were still using the legacy login connection to Vrbo. If you are already connected via the Chrome extension, no action is required. We’re currently working on an official integration with Vrbo which will resolve these issues permanently. We’re targeting a launch date at the end of March.As of yesterday, Vrbo has closed the login and password authentication method that powered our existing connection. That path no longer works for reauthorization.We have been preparing for this possibility since Thanksgiving 2025. During that period, Vrbo briefly changed their authentication method for several days and then restored it. Because we saw that pattern emerging, we developed and gradually rolled out the Chrome extension as a fallback option. We kept it available while the original connection method continued working for most accounts.In January, new Vrbo accounts could no longer connect using login and password. We updated our product so new connections would use the C
