This article explains how to set seaonal pricing for a specific date range for your additional fees, with the option to recur on a yearly basis. For example, charge a higher rate for activities during the summer months.
Fee conditions work for direct bookings made through the Guesty Booking Engine, Booking Engine API, or added manually. Conditions are in pilot for Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.

You can add date ranges and change the fee amount when editing seasonal conditions. However, you can't change the fee type from a flat dollar amount ($) to a percentage (%) or vice versa.

In beta: Using conditions for Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com
These channels appear under "advanced capabilities". You can apply group conditions or set up conditions on a channel-by-channel basis using the steps above.
Applying date range conditions to Airbnb or Booking.com listings will automatically bundle the fee into the total accommodation fare. The fee will be hidden from the guest on the booking channel, and reverse mapping will not apply to these fees.
Including the fee in the accommodation fare is a requirement by Airbnb for all fees. Learn more about Syncing basic and additional fees with Airbnb.
Important:
This setting can't be changed. If you don't want to bundle the fee into the accommodation fare for Booking.com reservations, remove the conditions for Booking.com.
