How This Works

Hotel total = nightly rate × nights. Airbnb total = listing price × nights + cleaning fee + Airbnb service fee (approximately 14% of subtotal). No hidden fees for hotels with room rate displayed. Airbnb service fees vary 6–20% — typically around 14% for most listings in 2024/25.

Often not after fees — the headline nightly rate hides the cleaning fee and service fee which add 20–40% to the displayed price. For short stays (1–3 nights), hotels are frequently cheaper once all Airbnb fees are added. For larger groups (4+) or longer stays (7+ nights), Airbnb can be significantly cheaper per person.
