ABB Cleaning Fee
ABB Cleaning Fee
Is there an advantage of adding a separate cleaning fee on ABB?

I think there is some advantage but am interested in answers to your question Apex Blue.
It seems that Airbnb when they show cheapest rate for property do not include the cleaning fee.
On my mobile when I look at calendars for properties it displays the charge per night without the cleaning fee. (I can't see this on my laptop.)
However if you enter specific dates I think the price shown per night is higher including a proportion of the cleaning fee.
AirBnb's price tips don't take any account of any cleaning fee.

The main disadvantage with doing so is that the cleaning fees are always refunded for guest cancellations.apexblue wrote:Is there an advantage of adding a separate cleaning fee on ABB?

Sorry, but I just don't get it. You don't cover your costs on short stays but get paid a nominal sum to clean up after? Surely far simpler to do without the hassle.ianh100 wrote:We include a cleaning fee as it helps balance the cost of shorter stays, what we charge doesn't actually cover our costs.

I charge £80 cleaning fee on ABB. Nobody has complained, although a couple of times the bathroom bin has not been emptied by Americans. Still, I am not complaining. It brings my payment to the level I get from bookings through my website, otherwise I would be out of pocket.

Adding a fee simply allows you to quote a lower nightly rate and therefore appear higher in searches if they are sorted or displayed by price. You end up paying whatever price the owner thinks their property is worth but allows them to compete with the owners who quote below market value rates, or at the very least grab some attention to start with.
