Applying additional fees to Guesty Booking Engine reservations

Apply additional fees to reservations made through your Guesty Booking Engine to charge your guests for extra services, such as cleaning fee, parking and late checkout. 

You can set additional fees on your account or per a specific listing in your account and decide which specific fees to apply to reservations. Additional fees are visible to potential guests only when they confirm their reservation. If you have multiple Guesty Booking Engines, additional fees apply to all of them.

Tip:

Include upsells to offer additional services during the booking process to allow guests to specify and pay for extra services upfront. If the guest doesn't specify these services during booking, you can still manually add the fees to the reservation.
