As Airbnb rolls out its winter release and focuses more on cleaning fees, it would be great to have more options as to how cleaning fees can be structured. I am much more willing to reduce my cleaning fee or eliminate it based on amount of rent on a reservation. My cleaners charge me the same fees regardless of length of stay. However, as a host, I am willing to absorb more of that cost if it's a high dollar reservation. For example, during my peak season, I am able to get $5000 for a weekly stay. It's not as bad to absorb the $250 cleaning fee. However, during my shoulder season, I'm only able to charge $1000 for a weekly stay. Absorbing $250 when the weekly stay is only $1000 becomes very steep. It would be great to be able to structure my cleaning fees based on the rent charged (before taxes and OTA fees). I hope we have the ability to do that in the near future.
Thank you!
