With Hospitable, the way you set and manage fees depends on the platform and whether your listing is managed by Hospitable or not.

How to Set Up Fees

  1. Go to Properties β†’ Select your property in Hospitable.

  2. Navigate to the Pricing page and scroll down to the Fees section.

  3. Enter the amounts for the fees you want.

  4. Save your changes.

These fees will sync automatically to all supported platforms.

Fee Types Supported by Hospitable

Hospitable currently supports the following fees:

  • Occupancy-based fees: an extra guest fee (per guest, per stay).

  • Other fees:

    • Cleaning fee.

      • Short-term cleaning fee.
        A cleaning fee specific to 1-2 night stays. This overrides your main cleaning fee for shorter reservations.

        • If you have no short-term cleaning fee set, or you set it to $0, the input field will be hidden.
          Click on Set short term cleaning fee to get an input field where you can set the fee.

    • Linens fee.

    • Resort fee.

    • Management fee.

    • Community fee.

    • Pet fee.

For each fee, with the exception of the extra guest fee and cleaning, you can set:

  • The amount, either by selecting a currency amount or a percentage.

  • The frequency (per stay, per guest, per night, per guest per night, per pet per stay, or per pet per night).

These fees are automatically pulled in from the Airbnb listing on the property. If the property does not contain an Airbnb listing, we will leave the fee fields empty until manually updated.

However, if you prefer to have a different cleaning fee amount for direct bookings, you can make manual changes on the Property > Pricing page.

Managing Fees on Other Platforms (Vrbo, Agoda)

Hospitable does not currently support fee management on these platforms. Please set up the relevant fees on each platform.

Note: Before the 29th of October 2025, Hospitable only managed fees for Booking.com listings that were created on Hospitable! If your Booking.com listing was created on Booking.com and later connected to Hospitable, then we did not manage fees for it.

This behaviour changed on the 29th of October 2025, and we now manage all fees except the pet fee for all Booking.com listings.
