1099, claim gross or net?

Hi, 

Does anyone know if I claim the gross income Airbnb reports I make on the 1099 they send or net amount (after their service fee). Airbnb won't tell me. Or do I claim the gross amount then write off the service fee as an expense? I just don't want them to report the gross amount to the IRS then claim the net amount and get in trouble. Tia.

@Caleb103 

You claim the gross amount and then deduct the service fees. 

@Emilia42 Thanks! That's what I was suspecting.
