Strange pricing

I am new to Airbnb, I have been using booking.com for some years now and I wanted to try Airbnb. But I think their pricing is very strange. Booking.com charges med 16.3%. I have set my price on Airbnb to same price as I get from booking and Airbnb will add 37,43% to my price. Example:

 

My price is SEK 1339. Airbnb charge extra for cleaning SEK 480 and service fee SEK 321.

 

I have always done the cleaning myself and have not added any extra for cleaning.

 

My room is SEK 1600 on booking and SEK 2140 on Airbnb. Strange isn't it?

@Lasse33 you must have set a cleaning fee. If you don't want it then switch it off. The service fee sounds high but presumably includes tax

I have not set a cleaning fee. Just now I tried to add SEK 400 for cleaning and i became 930 total. So in the world of Airbnb 480+400 is 930. If I set cleaning to 0 it became 480 again. Dont know how to take it away.
