Adding or editing a listing's cleaning fee

You can add a cleaning Fee to a listing at any time. Once added, it will apply to new reservations automatically. Follow the instructions below.

Tip:

To charge more than one cleaning fee, for example a mid-stay cleaning, you can create an additional fee.

Channel notes and limitations

To set different values for each channel individually, click "Set specific cleaning fees for each booking channel". Choose the relevant channel from the drop-down and fill in the relevant details.

Airbnb

When editing an Airbnb cleaning Fee, ensure that the amount does not exceed their maximum cleaning fee of 600 USD + 25% of the nightly price. Airbnb's minimum cleaning fee is 5 USD. Due to conversion rounding, for all other currencies, the minimum is 6 USD.

Agoda

For listings connected to Agoda, edit the cleaning fee in both Guesty and in the channel's account dashboard, ensuring they have matching values.

Booking.com

For linked listings, edit the cleaning fee in both Guesty and in the Booking.com Extranet.

For published listings, edit the cleaning fee in Guesty and it will sync to the Booking.com Extranet.

Expedia

The cleaning fee is not synced and must be added or edited in Expedia. You can set it up in the rate plan level or on the listing level on Expedia Partner Central.

Please note if you set this up on the rate plan level, the name of the fee will be removed but the value and charging logic will stay intact.

Rentals United

The cleaning fee is static data that is not automatically synced with booking channels. Learn more.
