New Host-only fees for Airbnb

[Nancy Bachety]

This is effective as of Dec 7 2020. How do you handle this when using a third party? My iGMS account is no longer connected. In order to connect it, I must allow Airbnb’s host only fee structure. 
What’s the solution?
This sounds like a new pricing structure is necessary in order to be able to use a third party. Is the strategy to increase nightly rates by 15% and incorporating the cleaning fee within the reservations? Reservations vary from 2-7 nights so that sounds like a crap shoot. 

Here’s the message from iGMS:

Is the Host-only Fee Compulsory For All Airbnb Hosts?

As mentioned above, from December 7, 2020, Airbnb will be rolling out the host-only fee for the majority of its hosts, including hosts who use third-party software to manage their listings. This means that most hosts will be required to pay the entire service fee from their own rental income. Hosts will pay a service fee of 15% to Airbnb from December 7 onwards.
