At Pridebnb, we prioritize transparent pricing for a delightful experience. Here's a breakdown of Pridebnb's service fees:

Hosts: Hosts pay a flat service fee of 2% of the booking total. Hosts must consolidate all fees into one total amount, ensuring transparency and building trust within our community. The booking comprises your nightly rate as well as taxes (the responsibility for tax collection lies with the host.) It does not include Pridebnb fees.

Guests: Guests are subject to a flat service fee of 5% of the booking total, which is included in the overall price of their stay. In contrast, platforms like Airbnb charge guests a higher fee of 14%. More details to follow.

A Practical Example: Let's say you charge $100 USD per night for a 3-night stay, resulting in a booking subtotal of $300 USD. In this case: You would earn $294 USD. Your guest would pay a total of $315 USD.

At Pridebnb we believe in transparency. That's why we do not charge additional fees for payment processing. The fees that our payment process provider Stripe charges (2.9% + 30 cents) is already included in the Pridebnb fees. Pridebnb's service fees are competitive and low compared to other platforms, and contribute to maintaining and enhancing our platform, ensuring it remains seamless and reliable for all users.


Comparing Service Fees: Airbnb vs. Pridebnb

Hosts pay 2% service fee.
Guests pay 5% service fee.

Example: For the same $360 USD booking (3 nights at $120 USD per night):
  • Host earns $352.8 USD
  • Guest pays $378 USD
Airbnb: 
Hosts pay 3% service fee.
Guests pay 14% service fee.

Example: For a $360 USD booking (3 nights at $120 USD per night):

  • Guest pays $410.40 USD
When opting for Pridebnb over the equivalent Airbnb listing, hosts experience higher earnings (~$353 versus $349), while guests enjoy lower costs ($378 versus $410).
