Airbnb new fee structure for PMS hosts

[Josh Ball]

Airbnb just sent an email about updating their fee structure for those hosts using PMS. Single 15.5% fee will be deducted beginning October 27th. Check your emails for more information.

They used the following example:

Today if you set your price at $100 USD, you earn $97 and your guests pay about $115. With the single fee, if you set your price at $115, you earn $97.18 and your guests pay $115.

So you have to raise your nightly rate to pay for Airbnbs extra fees so that you can make the same money.

Luckily most of my bookings come from Vrbo.
