Not in my experience. In any case there is always a cleaning fee with AirBnB - at least French guests expect cleaning included when they book with Airbnb so the cottage is left not pristine (as usual with French guests) but certainly not in a mess. The fee can also be used to cover bed linen and towels.Sam V wrote:And think they've paid for the place to be cleaned and leave a mess.roxytoo wrote:surely if you add a large cleaning fee people are going to balk at that?

Ok, so here I am at our lovely villa on 'holiday' after a late 1 am arrival due to a bad weather delay on our flight and then taking a ridiculous 2.5 hours to sort the pre booked hire car (another story)
This morning I got an instant booking for 3 nights the villa Sunday-Wednesday.
Airbnb breakdown
£90 per night (£275 total)
£50 cleaning
-£11.52 service fee
Total payout £308.48.
Now I'm confused on pricing!
My base rate is £125 per night
Smart pricing is off
£50 cleaning fee
5% discount for a week
10% discount for a month
Weekend rate £175
I've as usual) gone around and around on my Airbnb listing via app and web to try and find the calander/pricing and my pricing is all over the place, it seems a different price is set as low as £89, throughput the month, week, day!

I do not know if they have Mouse, I seem to have had some nights at £89, some at something else and others at my base price. It may be that I set some low prices initially which were still on the calander and others are my set weekend night rates, but I thought your set base price was the minimum Airbnb would charge and it seems your weekend rate is the flat rate though the year(?). I've spent all afternoon resetting my prices through my calendar! I'll chalk up the three nights booked at bargain rate as hopefully a positive review opportunity to boost my bookings!Mouse wrote:Crikey!
Air bnb have changed your prices?
You don't need the added stress.

Ensure you set your base, default nightly rate to £1,500,000 per night. Just in case someone finds that horrible gap that you forgot about and tries to book 2 mid-week nights in August.
