What the Prices page controls

The Prices page helps you check and refine the financial terms of the listing. It may include room prices, security deposits, extra fees, and date-specific seasonal pricing.

Residents use price information to compare options and decide whether the stay fits their budget. If pricing is unclear, residents may abandon checkout or contact support before booking.

Before you start

Prepare these details before editing:

• Base monthly price for each room type
• Deposit amount or deposit rule
• One-time fees, such as cleaning or admin fees
• Recurring fees, such as utilities or linen
• Seasonal date ranges and prices
• Any local taxes or required charges your team needs to disclose

Review room prices

Base monthly room prices are usually set in Rooms. Review them here before adding fees or seasonal overrides.

Check that each room type has the correct price and that similar rooms are priced consistently. If prices differ by room type, the reason should be clear from the room setup, amenities, size, bathroom type, or availability.

Security deposit

If a deposit is required, enable it and set the amount or rule.

Deposits can reduce conversion, so only require one when it is necessary for your property or local process. Make sure the amount and conditions match what residents will be told before booking.

Extra fees

Add one-time or recurring fees such as cleaning, admin, linen, or utility fees.

Use clear names and accurate amounts because residents see these fees during checkout. Avoid vague labels that make residents ask what the fee covers.

Good fee names:

• Monthly utilities
• Final cleaning fee
• Linen package
• Administration fee

Avoid:

• Miscellaneous fee
• Other charge
• Service cost

Seasonal pricing

Use seasonal pricing when specific date ranges should use different rates.

Check start and end dates carefully. Seasonal prices should match your actual operating calendar, local demand, and availability expectations.

Price clarity

Avoid surprise costs. The more accurately pricing is represented before booking, the fewer disputes support and hosts need to resolve later.

If a cost is mandatory, it should be included or clearly disclosed before checkout. Optional costs should be named as optional wherever possible.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid these issues before saving:

• Forgetting fees that residents must pay later
• Adding unclear fee names
• Setting seasonal pricing for the wrong dates
• Using a deposit that does not match your contract or house rules
• Leaving old prices after updating Rooms
• Creating a checkout price that differs from what your team quotes manually

What to review before saving

Before you move to the next listing step, check that:

• Room prices are accurate
• Deposits are required only when needed
• Extra fees have clear names and correct amounts
• Seasonal date ranges are correct
• Pricing matches your contract, policies, and resident-facing copy

Transparent pricing improves booking confidence and reduces payment-related support cases.
