Why is the Service Fee for guests this much?

I was gonna make a special offer for a guest: 600 NOK,- a night for a total of 1200,- NOK.
As it sais on the site:
600kr NOK x 2 nights  1,200kr
Subtotal:                         1,200kr
Service fee                    -41kr NOK
You earn                          1,159kr NOK
 
AirBnB corrected to Euros for my guest:
"€69 x 2 nights €137
Service fee €23
Your guest will pay €160"
 
Which suddenly is way more than the original offer.
Is this Service fee correct, and why is it so much? This is something like 17-18%.. Shouldn't it be more like 5-10%? 
 
Regards,
Lars **
