I’m a new host and not sure all the questions to ask guests. I have a reservation for 64 nights. A gal messaged me with anoth...
Hello all,
Four years as a Superhost, and I've never experienced anything like this.
My pet fee is correctly configured as a per-pet charge. Two back-to-back reservations. same setup, one paid out, one didn't. The guest correctly listed their pets. The fee doesn't appear in the nightly breakdown or the earnings report. It simply vanished.
What followed was weeks of Airbnb support:
- First blaming me for not writing the fee into my description (I don't do that for cleaning fees either. why is this reservation different?)
- Then going after the guest, who also declined responsibility
- Now telling me "this is just how the system works"
No accountability. No resolution. Just reps who seem unfamiliar with how their own platform handles fees.
My ask from the community: Check your recent reservations closely, especially if you allow pets. Are your pet fees actually showing up in the itemized breakdown and earnings report?
Would appreciate knowing if others are seeing this. How could I approach this better? The more of us flagging it, the harder it is for Airbnb to dismiss. Screenshots are attached. In earning report yellow highlighted is the one with the issue.
