If you notice a price difference between Lodgify and Airbnb, follow these steps to understand why.
Step 1. Simulate the booking
- In your Lodgify calendar, start creating a booking. Select the dates and proceed to Step 2 of the booking flow.
- Then, open your Airbnb listing page (as if you were a guest) and select the same dates.
- Compare the room and rate shown in Lodgify to what appears on Airbnb.
Step 2: Check for a Markup
- Go to the Pricing section of your rental in Lodgify.
- If you’ve applied a markup, this increases the base rate.
Example
- Room rate: $100
- Markup: 5%
- Price on Airbnb:
$100 + 5% = $105
Step 3: Check for Fees
- In the Pricing section, review any fees applied to the rental.
- Fees will be added to the room rate.
Example- Room rate: $100
- Markup: 5%
- Management fee: $45
- Price on Airbnb:
$100 + 5% = $105
$105 + $45 = $150
Step 4: Check the Lodgify and Airbnb quotes
In the price breakdown on Airbnb, you will see the total amount paid by the guest, and Airbnb's host fee (and VAT, if applicable) deducted from your total payout.
Airbnb's commission fees are not shown in the Lodgify quote, which might lead to a discrepancy. You should always compare the Lodgify quote to the total amount paid by the guest on Airbnb.
