How much does Air B+B get in total

1

Dear fellow renters,
Could you tell me exactly how Air B+B calculates its prices nowadays?
When my daughter first started using them to rent out her flat a few years ago,their fees seemed quite reasonable according to her.
In the meantime,I have taken over the flat and it appears that they have recently increased their profits by quite a large percentage.
Is this correct?
Is there any way to change back to the old system?

What research have you done yourself in respect of the fees charged for this property?

Have you read any of the information freely available on the Airbnb web site?

They are charging 76$ ā€œservice feeā€ on a 500$ booking. 2 nights @ 225, + 50 cleaning.
My guest pays 576$
looks close to 14.2%

Iā€™m guessing you were switched from the split fee model to the host-only fee model, but you didnā€™t adjust your price to account for it. I think this was automatic in specific countries and/or for hosts that use a 3rd-party software to manage hosting.

Edit: Hereā€™s an older discussion on the subject.
