513. Why Per-Guest Fees Are Killing Your Conversion Rate
About this episode
Think charging extra per guest is helping you make more money? Think again.
In this episode, Sarah and Annette reveal how per-guest pricing could actually be hurting your short-term rental business—and why it’s one of the most common (and costly) settings hosts overlook.
They’ll break down:
- Why Airbnb’s new “all-in” pricing model makes per-guest fees confusing and expensive for guests
- How hidden fees tank your conversion rate without you realizing it
- A smarter alternative that keeps your pricing clear and competitive
- How to create “parent” and “child” listings that attract different guest groups—without friction
If you’ve been wondering why your bookings have slowed down lately, this episode might reveal the small tweak that makes a big difference.
