Required amenity fees

A competing listing (a hotel) is requiring payment of an "amenity fee" at check-in.  As a result my listing is at a disadvantage in the "Total price before taxes" map.  This amenity fee is not for any optional product, just a fee required for the booking.  Are we allowed to do this?

I have flagged the listing to airbnb, but the listing still remains. It would be great, cuz I could undercut my competition and my guest would pay less airbnb fees and taxes.  Thoughts?

@Paul154 This seems to be a second example whereby some hosts are getting around Airbnb fees by nefarious means. The other recent example was a host charging $10/night and then $300/night in taxes! @Bhumika has passed the tax example back to Airbnb - Perhaps you could message her with the URL of this host and ask her to pass this one on as well.

Hi @Paul154, as @Mike-And-Jane0 mentioned, can you please help me by sharing the listing link via direct message?
