[Guide] How to find Price Preview Tool and Compare Similar Listings

[Patricia2526]

Hi Everyone, Here is a mini guide on how Hosts can view "what price the guests will see" and also how to use the "Compare Similar Listings" tool.

Here’s how to find the “Price Preview Tool” to check what pricing the guests will see : 

1. Select any number of nights on your calendar.
2. Below your nightly price, you’ll find a “Guest total” button displaying the total price a guest would pay for that reservation.
3. Tap or click that button to pull up a price breakdown, which lists your nightly price, fees, any discounts or promotions, taxes, and your earnings. 
   
4. You can also find more information here : Pricing tools: Pet fees, cleaning fees, and price previews 

Then tap on the guest total and it will show you the price breakdown and your potential earnings.

How to use Compare Listings feature : 

1. Select a date or date range on your calendar.
2. Tap or click on your nightly price. A button directly below the price shows a map icon and the words “compare similar listings.”
3. Tap or click that button to pull up a map of average prices for listings similar to yours. On the map, you can opt to show the average prices of booked or unbooked listings in your area.
   
4. You can also find more information here :  New pricing tool compares similar listings nearby 

and it will show you the booked and unbooked listings in your area with their prices. You can then decide if you need to adjust your rate for those dates or add a special offer to be more competitive. I use this feature just to ensure my pricing is competitive to attract last minute bookings.

Hope this helps. Happy hosting

Hello @Patricia2526,

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the support you've given to our Community. We're really lucky to have you here, and I'm sure this guide will help many more Hosts.

Thank you 🌻

Thank you, Patricia2526.

As of the past month or so (Sept 24), the Guest total tool ('Preview what guests will pay') no longer features on either desktop or app (iOS), and the Compare Similar Listings tool has also vanished from desktop.

At least from my own experience.

I have contacted Airbnb Superhost Customer care for feedback but another feature that is severely lacking is the ability to send photos or screengrabs...

What a mess of an app/website.

Quick tip: To tag someone, tap "@" and select the host's username from the dropdown menu 😊

@Patricia2526 with the new version this has dispareared, so how to see what I am going to get vs what the host will pay?

Hi @Borja58 

Since this feature is no longer available on Airbnb, guests now see the full total price (including fees) upfront when browsing listings. As a host, you’ll still be able to see your payout breakdown for each reservation under your earnings tab or directly in the booking details, so you’ll know exactly how much you’ll receive after Airbnb’s service fee is deducted.

Thank you! But begore and in order to manage the final price you could see the earnings at the same time, now if you combine a Promotion on certain dates you cannot see the total I.e earnings when pricing a week/month. There is any way to see it?
