Cleaning fees help hosts account for extra expenses they have getting their listing ready before guests arrive or after guests depart.
Add a cleaning fee To add or edit a cleaning fee for your listing:
Go to Your Listings
Click Pricing at the top of the page
Next to Cleaning fee, click Edit
Enter your cleaning fee, then click Save
The cleaning fee is only added to reservations booked after the change is made.
There are a few things to know about cleaning fees:
In the search results, guests will see a nightly rate that includes the cleaning fee divided by the total number of nights in the reservation. When they submit a reservation request, the nightly rate and the cleaning fee will be listed separately in the price breakdown.
The cleaning fee is part of the reservation total and is not returned to guests at the end of the reservation.
Because the cleaning fee is included in the total guest payment and host payout, service fees apply.
Cleaning fees are not automatically added to Special Offers so you should factor that in when setting an all-inclusive price.
