Airbnb Reasonable Pet Fee
I talked to a csr at airbnb and was told airbnb isn t set up to charge a pet fee.
Airbnb reasonable pet fee. Unforgettable trips start with airbnb. This seems simplest to me. I am just curious as to the different ways hosts collect pet fees. Airbnb needs to include a pet fee policy that is easily found and part of the info gathering process for guests creating their reservations.
Dog rule say there is a charge in my listing. They are and have accepted the 20 pet day fee or whatever you want to charge tell the guest that you will be adding the fee through the airbnb resolution center. Every other booking site allows the owner under extra services to charge a pet fee. You can also send a request.
If everyone is charging 75 then charge 75 even if you will be paying your cleaner the same. She explained that i can submit to the guest a special offer when they submit a booking request if we choose to host them increasing the total cost of the stay by the amount of the pet fees. Other trip related services. I mention my under 30 lb.
Enter the total amount. Similarly if everyone else is charging 25 then charge 25 unless you really feel that is too little and burdens you financially. I now have a guest mentioning they. If you send a special offer then the fee gets crunched into the nightly fee.
3 times last week. Now i can t be a superhost for a year because i cancelled him in under a day. I too would like airbnb to add a pet fee field i had to cancel a booking recently due to the guest did not respond about breed then argued he did not see a pet fee even though it s in my description and was in an email. Since we require the pets to be crated when their humans are not in the home we are prepared to charge a crate fee of 10 but so far we ve convinced everyone we re not pet sitters so they take them with on their adventures.
If only a small number of your guests have pets then you could choose to charge a pet fee and i would determine it by looking at other nearby rentals. After realizing it s easier to get a guest to accept a refund via change reservation than it is to request extra money i build my pet fee into the cleaning fee and simply change the reservation to 25 less if a guest is not bringing a pet. Under add note type pet fee 20 pet night. Give them the link.
Meagan and michael0 yes that would be the easiest option but since airbnb doesnt have this option yet a good work around is to state in your listing you have a pet fee of x which will be requested via the resolution center prior to their arrival and must be accepted. The owner must go through many steps to obtain the fee. This then causes a tax problem as county taxes here is gettysburg only tax the nightly rate unlike the state tax that taxes all fees. It doesn t have to comport with logic.
Guests book first mention pets later every single time. The guests know and pay up front the cost of the pet as it is incorporated into the cost of. If the resolution is not accepted the reservation will be canceled and check in will not be allowed.
