New host here! I myself have used Airbnb for a while as a guest and finally became a host. Excited and loving the platform!
However, I have several questions after the 2 hosting experience. The Payout is as follows:
681 x 2 nights¥1361
Cleaning Fees¥98
Airbnb Service Fee(¥46)
Total Payout¥1413
and
690 x 6 nights¥4138
Cleaning Fees¥99
Airbnb Service Fee(¥125)
Total Payout¥4112
My questions are:
Q1: 681 x 2 is 1362, not 1361. And 690 x 6 is 4140, not 4138. Even though it's just a small difference, but this is not what the calculation should be. Why?
Q2: The cleaning fee I set was 100, but here it shows 98 and 99. Why?
Q3: The website says it should be a fixed 3%. But I was charged a service fee of 3.38% and 3.02% of the nightly rate. Why?
Q4: My first group of guests violated the NO SMOKING rule. I already sent a feedback to the platform regarding this. So how do I charge a penalty?
(To summarize the first 3 questions, the payout should be 1421.14 and 4115.8. A difference of 11.94 occurred. Please anyone can explain?)
Thanks!
