Host Payout info box not showing "nightly room fee" or "nightly rate adjustment" breakdowns for some multi-night bookings

Is this a bug? I am currently hosting a person for 4 nights. But the Host Payout info box does not show the breakdowns/expandable sections. The only other time this box should look like this, is for a single night with no discounts given. Right? This person is staying multiple nights, and has last-minute discounts applied. But the Show breakdowns links are missing, and the Nightly rate adjustment line item is also missing.

 

Now that I look through my other 25 bookings (past and future), there is indeed one other stay (about a month ago) that fits this bug description. A 2-night stay that also shows no breakdown of the days or discounts.

 

Of course I would love to inquire about this bug to the proper Airbnb support channels but I don't even know where that would be when it is just a web and app issue, not a a guest booking issue.

 

This problems is in both the android app and the website for me, and in multiple locations that I find this Host Payout box. Am I missing something?

Update: I have received an explanation. I don't like it, and as a programmer as well, it feels lazy. But here it is.

 

"The guest sent an *inquiry* message, and you *pre-approved* the request which means the system will detect that it *looks like* a *special offer* that's why it's not giving you a price breakdown."

 

So essentially, the system can't tell if you overrode your calendar rates (more money because of bookers special requests or a less money as a discount) in your Special Offer. The mere fact of clicking Pre-Approve marks your booked duration as an abnormality, and throws it's hands up.

Yes...I am seeing this as well. You can take screen shots and send them to Airbnb CS.

Not sure what CS told you is accurate. I have seen it on a monthly stay also that was not pre approved. I have also seen it on a reservation that guest wanted to extend a stay. Both just showed a lump sum in the Host payout section instead of specifying the rate per night. Don't think it used to be like that.

 

 

Thank you, @Jimmi27  for sharing the update with us!

 

It will help other hosts. 😊

 

Warm regards,
