Removal of Price Breakdown Feature!

Removal of Price Breakdown Feature!

Hi,

Airbnb’s latest update removed the price breakdown feature, so we can no longer see earnings for specific date ranges on the calendar. I relied on this tool to adjust pricing, promotions, and booking rules, and its absence makes managing listings much harder.

After about a month of waiting for support, I learned that the option has been permanently removed, and the suggested workaround—setting the calendar to "request to book"—doesn't make sense since we need earnings visibility before receiving a reservation request. The delay in getting support has only added to my frustration.

What are your thoughts on this? I’d appreciate any insights or experiences you have.

Thank you.

Totally agree removing the price breakdown was a huge step backward. It was such a helpful tool for planning and adjusting rates. The suggested workaround doesn’t really solve the core issue either. Really hope Airbnb reconsiders this decision.

I would like to know the reasoning behind the decision.  A guest is able to see the breakdown before booking but not the host??? Makes no sense to me. And it's frustrating.

I feel Airbnb will charge what they feel the market will pay. I'm still in disbelief. I'm looking into other platforms for MTR's. We pay too much to Airbnb for them to drop these functions.

I am having the same issue, it's a nightmare.  As a former Pricing manager my role was always to try  and give the sales teams better tools, more accurate information, more data,  so they coud make the best pricing decisions.. In the case of Airbnb they have done the opposite, they seem to be going backward.

 

No more visibility on detailed pricing means I am having to guess what the guests will pay. The information we are now getting seems to be inaccurate as well. If I drill on the "price per night" to find the "guest price per night"for a selected date range, the guest price per night does not even include discounts and promotions applicable for that period. 

 

The only work around I found is to open another window with Airbnb without logging in and pretend to be a traveller. That way I can see the effect of price changes on the travellers by switching back and forth between traveller and host window. 

 

Customer service does not seem to even know either, it looks like the pricing team worked in complete silo without involving anyone else before making this decision. 

 

C'mon Airbnb, you can do better than that!!
