Extra Guest Fees

[Lisa11039]

Hi there, We are new to hosting and just finding our way. What are people chargin as an extra guest fee these days?  What is your threshold (do you start charing after 2 guests? After 3?) Just wondering how others are approaching this and what factors to consider in setting our pricing.

Hi @Lisa11039 

It may depend on the potential number of guests that you allow.

We have just a 2 bedroom place, 2 beds - max 3.

Our  base fee includes 2 adults (or actually non-infants)

We charge a 20% uplift/ additional  fee per night for the additional adult (we have no cleaning fee, so this helps)

I hope that helps.

Regards, Graham

Thanks for the tip Graham! Question how do you factor per night? I just found out today that the extra fee is 1 time but gets split across the duration of the trip?

Hi @Lisa11039 

.... that is incorrect advice.

Go to your calendar

On the right side of the screen you have the ability to add fees.. see below screen shot.

Scroll down to Extra Guest Fee

You are given the option of a $$ amount per guest after XX guests PER NIGHT.

It works for me.
