To Cleaning Fee or Not

Hi ​@Krista Rica 

It actually doesn’t matter; guests do not see the price breakdown anymore. They don’t know if you have cleaning fee or not. It comes down to how you want to handle it. For example, if you want it separate so it becomes easier in accounting, then you keep it separate. 
Or if you prefer to keep the fee spread out on the nightly rate, you include some portion of it in the nightly rate.

But my recommendation: add that to the cleaning fee, as this is an actual cost, and so get a much clearer idea of how much you are earning on each reservation. 💰
 

I had no idea-thank you!

I used to keep my nightly rate a bit lower and charge a slightly higher cleaning fee since Airbnb’s algorithm used to favor listings with lower nightly rates in search results. But with Airbnb’s new all-inclusive pricing model, guests now see the total price up front, so that strategy doesn’t make a difference anymore.

That said, I still keep a cleaning fee because it helps set a minimum booking threshold — it discourages cheap, one-night last-minute stays and keeps the property better aligned with the kind of guests I want to attract.

Perfect!  Thank you.
