Airbnb is changing the host fee structure

As you may have heard, Airbnb is changing the host fee structure and it will be mandatory for some countries as of December 7th. There are less than 3 weeks now.

In the new simplified pricing structure, there will be no service fee visible to the guest and the host will pay 15% from the total payout.

Yourporter has created a very detailed blog post which includes comparisons between the simplified pricing and the traditional service fee. We believe it will help you understand which structure to choose and how to adapt to the new Simplified Pricing
