Anybody know how to add custom service fee?

[Royal-Loft0]

I live in Venice and we pay City Tax aka Tourism fee, in my case it is €1.50 per person, per night. 

I can add a cleaning fee, but how can I add a custom value like that?

I see AirBnB collects these kind of taxes and send to the authorities automatically in Amsterdam, and some other places, but here in Venice, I must make due my self. 

Anyone has any ideas?

Hi @Royal-Loft0,

FYI When we travelled to Venice using Airbnb we paid the tax separately on arrival - it wasn't a huge inconvenience as it was all spelled out before our arrival etc.

If you want to include it in the costs from the beginning you'll need to handle that with a 'Special Offer' that you calculate out appropriately and communicate with the Guests as to why this all a normal proceedure... could be a little confusing for Guests. Make sure you include all your costs (cleaning etc) in those Special Offers.

Alternatively you could alter the reservation once it's received and have the Guest accept the change. Once again you'd need to explain this all beforehand (in your listing or messaging) so the Guests don't feel like you're price gouging them etc.

Ahhh Venice! 🙂

Cheers,

Paul
