You are responsible for choosing the listing price.
Smart Pricing lets you set your prices to automatically go up or down based on changes in demand for listings like yours. You are always responsible for your price, so Smart Pricing is controlled by other pricing settings you choose, and you can adjust nightly prices any time. Smart Pricing is based on the type and location of your listing, the season, demand, and other factors.
Smart Pricing minimum price
If you have opted to add a discount to any nights, the price guests pay may go below the minimum Smart Price you have set for those nights.
I was wropng Rule Sedtgs will b e applied whic h could of lowered your minimum pricing
How rules are used to calculate your nightly price
Once you apply a rule-set to a listing, it'll override any existing pricing and availability settings you’ve set for those dates.
Note: Rule sets will apply even if Smart Pricing is turned on.
If your rule-set includes multiple pricing rules, they’ll be applied in this order:
- Nightly and weekend pricing
- Length-of-stay (weekly, monthly) discounts
- Early-bird and last-minute discounts
For example, this is how the price would be calculated using a rule-set with both a nightly rate rule and an early-bird
So you as the Host determine the Minimum Price, but you as the Host could have rules or discounts the platform applies which may result in below your minimum price Airbnb does not lower the minimum price unless the Host has chosen to reduce.
I use Smart Pricing also, so I wanted to understand. Haha
