How much does Airbnb charge?
Airbnb charges service fees to both guests and hosts, varying by booking type. Guests typically pay 14-16.5% of the booking subtotal, while hosts usually pay a 3% fee. These fees cover operational costs, customer support, and platform development. The new rules might influence hosts' pricing strategies to offset perceived losses.
