Charges for owners and guests

What do owners get charged by airbnb for a listing and if it is a percentage what is it and is it a % of total cost incl. extras like cleaning, etc?

What do guests get charged for booking accommodation and is this 6-15%? If this is correct hoow is the % calculated?

Is there a separate booking fee or credit card charge for guests or owners?

What are the different membership options for new members and how does this relate to what the owner and/or guets is charged in commissions?

Hi @Mark62,

 

I will try to answer you questions here:

 

Hosts get charged 3% of the total booking amount including cleaning fee.

 

Guests pay between 6-12% of the total booking amount but this can be higher.  Check out this Help Guide which shows my analysis of how the guest % is figured out: https://community.airbnb.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/A-Breakdown-of-Airbnb-Guest-Fees-A-Community-Help-Guide/...

 

It could also be higher due to currency exchange rates.

 

No, there is not separate booking fee or credit card charge.

 

There is no membership.  Really, it is 3% for hosts and 6-12% for guests.
