How to manage Airbnb Host Fee

Airbnb has updated its service fee structure to simplify pricing for both hosts and guests, effective September 15, 2025. This change impacts how prices are displayed to guests and how payouts are calculated for hosts. 

Starting September 15, 2026 Airbnb will:

• Combine both fees host and guest service fee into a single 15.5% host-only service fee
• Remove the separate guest service fee
• Display a single all-inclusive price to guests

Airbnb is introducing this update to simplify pricing for hosts, and provide more clearer and transparent pricing to guests

Impact on Your Pricing & Payouts:

With this update, hosts are now responsible for the full 15.5% service fee.

If no pricing changes are made, your Airbnb payouts will decrease. To maintain the same earnings, you will need to adjust your listing prices accordingly.

How to update pricing in innRoad:

• Include in Reservation Total: InnRoad will add Airbnb host fee as a payment item to the reservation. The room charge totals will be based on price before host fee amounts.
