🏡 Airbnb cost breakdown – where the money actually goes

Example: 3-bedroom house in Canberra | 5-night stay
💲 Nightly rate: $160
🛏 Nights: 5
💰 TOTAL PAID BY GUEST: $1,264

Here’s how that total is made up 👇
🏠 Accommodation (paid to host)
• $160 × 5 nights
👉 $800
🧹 Cleaning fee (one-off)
👉 $200
This covers: • Full clean of a 3-bedroom house
• Bathrooms cleaned & sanitised
• Kitchen deep clean
• Floors vacuumed & mopped
• All linen & towels washed, dried & replaced
• Beds stripped and remade
• Rubbish removed
⏱ Around 4–5 hours of work
⚠️ This cost is the same whether you stay 1 night or 7 nights

🧾 Airbnb service fees (NOT paid to host)
👉 $264 (about 21–25% of total)
Airbnb charges: • The guest
• AND the host
This covers: • Booking platform
• Payment processing
• Customer support
• Advertising & marketing
• Insurance / host protection

📊 Cost split
• 🏠 Host accommodation: $800 (63%)
• 🧹 Cleaning: $200 (16%)
• 🧾 Airbnb fees: $264 (21%)

📉 Why short stays feel expensive
Cleaning & Airbnb fees are fixed costs.
Example: • 1 night → cleaning = $200 per night
• 2 nights → cleaning = $100 per night
• 5 nights → cleaning = $40 per night
👉 Longer stays = much better value.

💡 Simple takeaway
Short stays aren’t expensive because hosts charge more —
they’re expensive because cleaning + Airbnb fees don’t shrink with fewer nights.
