Moving your cleaning fee to your nightly rate or management fee is the worst thing because guests filter by price and that filter is based on nightly rate only. So if your nightly rate went from $150 to $200 because of that it will be filtered out by guests that want to pay a nightly rate of less than $150.
@@AirbnbAutomated I tried it and because of the nightly rate increase I was so out of the avg rate for my area. Even though the total price stays the same, guests would start filtering out by their nightly rate budget and then I was out of the list. That would work much better if Airbnb enforces only total prices view and the rate filter is by total price and not nightly. That would make everybody to be in the same boat.
Some people are absolutely turned off by that jump in price at the end, like a bait (lower nightly price) then the switch (the surprises in additional not factored fees). You said you tested it, so …
@@bellad1063 yes I tested it and I compared the listings around me. Everybody is listing cleaning fees, so at the end all of the other homes will have a jump in price but mine would have a very high nightly rate already discouraging guests from clicking on my listing. As I said if everybody was doing the same configuration would be better.
Thats great! Which PMS do you use? I'm using your suggested pricing strategies with rule sets in Airbnb, but every time I hook up a PMS, it wants to override all the rule sets in the multicalendar.
A PMS like host hub will not. (They connect using cohost connection not full API Hostfully contacted me to tell me they’ve been working on that. They may have it fixed
How do we gauge the price we will get for monthly stays when we apply a discount? This has always been confusing to me. I have dynamic pricing with pricelabs but how do we know the right discount to place on monthly stays when the algo and settings are always always adjusting future pricing based on demand/seasonality?
Hi Sean! Recently had a guest complain about the size of the studio he booked (Square meterage and up to date photos are on the listing) he asked to be put in a different property but we were full up. He complained to air bnb and got a full refund i had a cancellation put against me without my permission. As you can tell this situation is a robbery, he booked it with all this information! What should i do? the support is so slow
The new listing editor seems to have hid the "Bedroom" editor behind the photo tour. I can't configure the king beds for my property without turning on the photo tour :/ Any idea how to turn it off or bypass the photo tour?
Worst case scenario go to the whole thing with the photo upload then, after all declarations are made delete all of your photos, and then re-upload them again
@@AirbnbAutomated That's what I thought, the new UI made me click into the photo tour, it then auto-sorted the photos without asking me and then invited me to make changes. Now it's stuck
Okay I figured it out, probably a full video you could do about it. The UI really forces you to do it there way, had to go into manage photos and transfer all the photos to "Additional Photos"
Thank you Sean! Super helpful as always 🙏🏼❤ In the UK we don’t have management fees. What would you advise? Also, if you have a bit of research you can see almost everyone in central London has cleaning fees.
@@AirbnbAutomated Thanks for your attention! No, only cleaning fee and pet fee. I'm actually abroad now and when I restart the browser it' showing me the other type of fees now but by the time I set them up, its reloding and it despairs... I've got only 3 listings. That could be the case I guess... Thanks again! Much appreciated! Bless you and your beautiful soul! Amazing teamwork! 💙
the part with the info skips and I can't find the screen you are on anywhere I've clicked everywhere? Can you help me pretty please figure out the ONE button. I'm super new and eager to get rented.
I have a question, My bed is 79"x63", A European King bed is 63'" wide, whereas a US is 76" wide, On my listing in Europe should my bed be marked as a King or a Queen? i.e. it is a King in Europe but a Queen in the USA.
I would suggest to set it according to the standards *Europe vs *US, depending from where do your guests come. Have a lovely day and best of luck and success with your STR.

This is not always true, but in some cases yes. Split testing will give you the answer

Hey Sean Thank you for your great knowledge

Thank you! Applied this info immediately.
That’s what I like to hear!
Hi, I cannot see the setting with regards to kingbed on my Listing?? Any ideas, please?
hey. you should click on the arrange of photos first, then click on your bedroom

HI Sean, Do you use a channel manager for your properties?

Just skip declaring photos for each room. It should not force you to select photos.
Worst case scenario go to the whole thing with the photo upload then, after all declarations are made delete all of your photos, and then re-upload them again

@brendonbeebe good work!
I dont have a management fee option showing up
Thank you Sean! Super helpful as always 🙏🏼❤

Are there other one times fees? Like a community fee?
It may just be that you need 5 listings

I didn’t see adding King size as an option under amenities.
Its found in your rooms and spaces where they ask you to describe your bed

Airbnb changed its layout AGAIN since this video. Stay tuned

Awesome info. Thank you
Great video thank you
thank you for watching. Happy thanksgiving.
Airbnb won't let me add any other fee except cleaning, pet, extra guest
You need to activate pro tools

I dont see management fees in my backend?
On the iPhone app it’s in calendar > choose a listing > settings > fees
King bed what
thank you give you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Airbnb changed the pricing algorithm recently so its pointless play with fees.
