Charging on cleaning fees is unfair. If I charge $150 a night and cleaning fee is $100 (which it is in Whistler) booking charges 15% or more on $250 =37.50 /$150 =25% fee not 15%. Then you discount rates for genius etc etc they make more than the owner. I have had fees over 30%. Airbnb can be 3% plus no credit card fees. When you add that can be huge. Rates have been low due to covid so if it was a $1000 booking then its 16.5% but still more. It should be on the rack rate. Very unfair and not logical.
Nothing - you lose more money. What a joke. I keep rooms open on airbnb and pay less fees versus more bookings on booking and pay more fees and wear and tear. Work it out! Its a scam
When i work out the commission I pay over my rental rate it can some to 25-30% when booking charges fees on my cleaning fee as well. How can this make sense?
