You can create an inventory of fees in Guesty to charge guests for extra services, such as late check-out or laundry services. Additional fees can be added automatically to new reservations based on booking channels or added manually to a specific reservation. Read the important limitations associated with some booking channels and follow the instructions below to add an additional fee to a reservation manually.
Important:
The list of fees that can be added to the reservation is based on how the additional fees were set up for the relevant listing: If the listing has listing-level fees, you will not be able to add account-level fees to the reservation.
Booking channel limitations
- Vrbo:
- Additional fees that are added to instant book Vrbo reservations are not collected by existing Auto Payment rules and will have to be collected manually. Additional fees that are added to non-instant book reservations are collected by existing rules. For Vrbo reservations via Rentals United, additional fees are collected by existing Auto Payment rules. Learn how to set up Auto Payment rules with our best practices.
- Airbnb:
- Additional fees will not apply to reservations that are booked with a special offer on Airbnb.

Additional fees that are manually added remain as non-canceled invoice items after a reservation is canceled.
