Adding or removing an extra person fee to a listing

You can limit the number of guests that are included in the price of a reservation and charge extra guest fees for those reservations that exceed the total number. Follow the instructions below to apply an extra guest fee to a listing.

Note:

If you have a markup or markdown, it will be applied on top of the extra person fee.

Channel limitations

The extra guest fee cannot be configured per booking channel. It will be updated in all connected booking channels, with the exception of Agoda

How the extra fee is applied for adults vs children or infants can vary and is dependent on each channel. For reservations made through the Guesty Booking Engine/Website, the extra person fee is applied for adults only.

  • Airbnb

The charge for each additional guest can be set between USD 5 and USD 300.

  • Expedia

If there is no extra person fee in Guesty (or if the person fee is set as 0), and there is one on Expedia defined, the value in Expedia will be overridden by the Guesty value.
