What is the “Price per extra guest” on Airbnb?
This functionality is available in every Airbnb listing. It is used to increase the price depending on the number of people who want to book a given offer.
How is the Airbnb night rate calculated?
On the BedBooking price grid you can see that each day has a price at the level of the Airbnb offer. This is the standard rate that the guest must pay for rentals on that day.
Additionally, you can add an "Price per extra guest", which will be added depending on the number of people in a given reservation.
Example:
The standard rate for a four-person room on a given day is 100 euros. You set the “Price per extra guest” at 10 euros and choose that it should be added for each guest, when it exceeds 2 guests.
The amount that will be charged for this day of the reservation depends on the number of people in the reservation and is as follows:
- 4 guests: 100 + 10 + 10 = 120 euros
- 3 guests: 100 + 10 = 110 euros
- 2 guests: 100 euros
- 1 guest: 100 euros
Step by step: How do I set the “Price per extra guest”?
Using the Price list
Step 1: Go to the "Price list" section in the menu and then click the "Set prices" tab.
Step 2: Click on the room where you want to change the Airbnb listing settings.
Step 3: In the “Airbnb” section, under “Price per extra guest”, enter the amount for the additional guest and set the number of guests from which this fee should be calculated in the “For every guest above” field.
Step 4: Save your changes.
Using room editing in the sales channel
Step 1: Go to the "Sales channels" section in the menu and then click on the "Airbnb" tab.
Step 2: Tap the pencil icon next to the Airbnb listing where you want to change the settings.
Step 3: In the "Prices" tab, enter the fee amount in the "Price per extra guest" field and determine the number of guests from which this fee is to be calculated in the "Guests included in the price" field.
Step 4: Save your changes.
How many additional people can book?
Setting “Price per extra guest” does not change the capacity of your Airbnb listing. The capacity of the offer remains the same, only the price changes if the number of people in the reservation exceeds the number of people that was selected when setting the "Price per extra guest".
Is setting “Price per extra guest” mandatory?
No, using Airbnb's "Price per extra guest" is voluntary.
If you want the price of your Airbnb listing to be fixed and not depend on the number of people, just leave the “Price per extra guest” blank or fill it in with “0”.
