Explaining Guest Service Fee and Occupancy Tax to Guests

Just tell them that you, the host, set your nightly rate and cleaning fee and Airbnb charges a commission that averages 14%. It can be higher or lower but hosts have no control over Airbnb’s commission. As far as what it might be in 2023, you have no control over future changes to their commission just as you have no control over future changes to your government’s lodging tax.
