surcharge cable box through airbnb

[James109]

What is the best way to disclose and add surcharges for bookings?

I have a listing that has over-the-air TV and Internet/streaming TV, but no cable box. At least one renter has asked about adding a cable box rental or other service. It seems reasonable to provide that if guests pay for it. How would that get billed through Airbnb's platform, or is there a way to charge guests separately for that without them getting upset?

Hi, 

You can do so via the resolution centre, have a read of this policy in particular 'To request additional funds from your guest, you can do so directly from the Resolutions Center.' - https://www.airbnb.co.uk/help/article/50/can-i-change-a-reservation-as-a-host

Hope this helps,

Ama

Why not just add cable and charge a little more for the room rental. I have cable in my room and my guests love it.
