This video explains Airbnb's new host-only fee structure for PMS-connected hosts, detailing the shift from a split-fee to a host-only model. Hosts will learn how to calculate the necessary markup to maintain their net earnings and adjust pricing strategies, including cleaning fees, to adapt to the change.

Key insights

  • Airbnb is transitioning all PMS-connected hosts to a host-only fee model, with the host fee set at 15.5%, effective October 27th for most US PMS-connected hosts and December 1st for non-PMS connected hosts in the US.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to adjust cleaning fees and other add-on charges to account for the 15.5% host fee can lead to a reduction in net earnings, as Airbnb now takes commission on these fees.
