Amenities

Just curious...how do other Airbnb Hosts handle additional fees for Amenities  like, fire "wood," kayak usage, etc?  Thank you!  Robert from Maine.

The listed amenities has expanded quite a bit over the years and allows a potential guest to search with these amenities in mind.  When a host charges for anything in addition to the nightly rate, the fee is carefully described in the listing and reiterated in the messaging system hopefully prior to check in.  Then the host will send a request for money via the reservation with a reference to that communication.  For example, charging for wood, the host should remind guests there is a charge, then obtain agreement from the guest to pay the fee then send the request for the fee.  Hope this helps.  Linda  By the way, the fee is collected through the Air BNB system using whatever credit card you used to book the reservation.  There should never be a cash payment.
