How pricing works - Airbnb Help Centre? ›

The total price of your Airbnb reservation is based on the nightly price set by the Host, plus fees or costs determined by either the Host or Airbnb. In addition to this, listings in some geographical locations may include taxes as well.

Airbnb pricing strategy examples include the “Maximum Occupancy Strategy,” which focuses on ensuring full booking calendars by offering competitive rates. In contrast, the “Get the Maximum Rate” Pricing Strategy aims to maximize profits during high-demand periods, capitalizing on peak seasons and local events.

The Airbnb pricing algorithm looks at demand for listings similar to yours to find the right price for each night. It takes into account over 70 different factors, like the booking window, the popularity of your market and your listing, the number of positive reviews you get, and more.

Cost based pricing ensures that the price you are listing your property at is at minimum equal to the total costs of your rental property. This is calculated by adding up the total monthly cost of your rental property and dividing that sum by 30 (the average days in a month).

Default and custom pricing

Use discounts and customise rule-sets to attract guests. Listings with prices that were updated at least four times a year had over 30% more nights booked than those that weren't, according to our data. * Adding a discount may also help improve your listing's ranking in Airbnb search results.
