What do you mean by split the host fee? @Sheryl258 

 

The Airbnb Help website is a good resource for helping you find your way around how Airbnb works..

Hi Helen

I managed to sort it out Thanks so much 

@Sheryl258 

If you are referring to the Airbnb Service Fee, you are currently set for "split fee".  If you want to change that to Host Only Fee (you pay for the entire service fee instead of your guests), read thru the article below:

Min Stay Suggestion

Since you are a new listing, I suggest you change your 5day min stay to 2 or 3 nights instead until you get some bookings. Right now, many guests aren't even seeing your listing at all, as most are searching for 2 nights stays. Since your listing is set to a 5night minimum, your listing won't appear in search results. If guests can't see your listing - they can't book it. Once you get 5-6 bookings, then maybe set to 3night min - 5nights is a bit much except in busy summer season. Even then, I would probably still do 3night min and then offer a discount for addl nights using Pro Tools/Rule Sets.
