The Host Approach

🚨 Airbnb just made a major change — and if you haven’t acted yet, you’re about to lose a lot of money.

As of today (October 27), Airbnb has switched to a single 15.5% host fee for anyone using property management or channel management software (PMS).

They’ve scrapped the old 3% split-fee model, hidden guest fees, and dumped the full cost on hosts.

If you don’t update your rates, your payouts on new bookings will drop immediately.

👉 Here’s what to do right now:

1️⃣ In your PMS, add a channel-specific rate adjustment for Airbnb (apply to rates + surcharges).

2️⃣ Log in to Airbnb and opt in to the Single Fee model.

Do this today — it only takes a few minutes, and it’ll stop your Airbnb payouts from taking a hit.

But here’s the bigger picture…

This change isn’t just about updating rates.
It’s a wake-up call that platforms can change the rules anytime — and your profit goes with it.

👉 Because in addition to host fee hikes, you know what’s also really hard?
– When Airbnb refunds your guest without asking.
– When one 4-star review tanks your ranking.
– When your entire vacation rental business depends on rules you don’t control.

But here’s the good news —
you don’t have to play their game.

Picture this instead:
✨ You’re taking direct bookings and keeping more profit
✨ You’ve got a marketing plan that drives repeat stays month after month
✨ You’re following a proven roadmap— each step done with you, so you never have to figure it out alone.
