FALSE RATE PER NIGHT POSTED BY AIRBNB

Hi, My minimum rate per night was set to $57 and my maximum to $70. YET , when I wanted to check the area to see what the prices were , i found my listing advertized as $98 per night by AirBNB?? $98???? How did you get to that and WHY did you do that as i did NOT have 'smart pricing' on which gives you the right to price my room what ever you like?

What price can you see if you check the map, @Cindy249? It should be the lowest you offer.

I experienced the same thing with my own listing and realized Airbnb had added in my cleaning fee, prorated over the number of days of the booking. I then realized they had done this for all of the listings that appeared in my search. 

 

At first I was annoyed, but then put on my guest hat and felt it was fair. Because after all, that's what a guest WILL be paying per night to stay at my place.

OKAY .... AIRbnb , I PROFUSELY , UTTERLY and SINCERELY appologize for accusing you of doing something that you did not do but that I (CAPITAL I ) am alone to blame for!

I had a seriously blank moment there yesterday and feel like such a fool!  I am SO sorry!. I figured out what I did wrong! When I put the amount of people in the filter as one , then my room showed $57 , however when I put TWO people in the filter the rate showed $98 which would be correct as this rate includes my room rate plus extra person rate! AIRBnB You are FABULOUS! I am So embarrassed for my outrages ranting. I appologize again and again and again. (blush)
