This explains how to quickly check the total amount a guest is paying on Airbnb, especially when they request a discount. It includes a link to a visual walkthrough.


Why This Matters

Understanding the guest’s total cost (including Airbnb fees and taxes) helps you make informed decisions when offering discounts or negotiating pricing. It ensures you're not undercutting your margins and allows you to communicate more transparently with the guest.


What You Need

  • Access to the Airbnb host account

  • Guest inquiry or reservation details available

  • Logged into your Airbnb dashboard


Steps

  1. Log in to Airbnb:
    Access the Airbnb host dashboard using your login credentials.

  2. Go to the Reservation or Inquiry:
    Locate the guest's inquiry or reservation from your Inbox or Calendar.

  3. Click "Show Price Breakdown":
    Inside the guest’s booking request or inquiry, click to expand the price breakdown.

  4. Review Total Guest Payment:
    You’ll see what the guest is paying in total, including nightly rate, cleaning fee, Airbnb fees, and taxes.

  5. Decide on Discount:
    Use this information to determine if a discount is fair or necessary based on their total out-of-pocket cost.
