I had someone book for two guests. A few days later, he asked if a third person could stay, and I would be payed outside Airbnb. I replied that I would only go through Airbnb. He said no problem.
i changed the reservation to three guests which increased the total about $160 (Approximately $27 per day.) I have Smart Pricing set, and I don’t understand why it doesn’t add just the $10 for persons over two, but that’s what it calculated. Airbnb said it was because of how Smart Pricing works overall, not just that a third person is being added.
The guest said that if he cancels, then adds a third person his cost be $60 less. I don’t know how he arrived at that because, if the room is already booked for those dates, how could he check pricing fot three days? Also, why would Smart Pricing calculate differently if rebooking?
I feel as if the increased price is still a reasonable price since it already includes a discount for weekly stay. I just wanted some feedback.
By the way, I told him to decide how he wants to proceed since I know there could be repercussions if I cancel.
