Charging a separate price for one night stays.

[Viktoria56]

Currently I am on price tips because it's the off season where we are.

I currently have a 2 night minimum because it's just not worth it with the costs of washing towels and sheets for one night stays BUT I was thinking I could charge a little more for one night stays to offset this cost but I don't see how to do that.

Can someone tell me how to do that?

I have just written to AirBNB re  the cost of one night stays and the need for a separate pricing. Below is what I wrote...maybe we should all send a message to Airbnb so they can see the need as only one or two comments are not effective enough. Happy for people to copy and adapt my message.

"The cost of one night stays is becoming exceedingly expensive. They are very popular for my airbnb area but the linen and cleaning cost is a killer. I visited the community help area and conversation re exactly this point. It seems people from around the world are having the same problem. Surely it would be worthwhile for AirBNB and hosts to provide an option (e.g. a specific code allowing a more feasible price) for one night stays. There was plenty of conversation about other ways of doing this but none of them actually solve the problem and most seem to create more. I know I cannot continue offering one night stays in 2020 unless I am able to charge a higher fee for the linen etc and cleaning. Can you please look into this and assist. I look forward to your reply and assistance."

Hi Robyn, i have the same problem with guests in Finland. I have noticed that many hosts here do not offer 1 night listings at all but I would not like to choose that route. Did you get a response from Airbnb?

Hello fellow Hosts. I have contacted Airbnb regarding the same issue and am at a loss as to why it is not an option to apply a supplement especially given they actively encourage Hosts to provide one night stays!  The costs simply don't add up even taking into account the extra cleaning fee - they need to re-think this for sure.
