You’ve asked for ways to share your cleaning fee payout with your cleaner or co-Host. You’ve also asked for the ability to message with co-Hosts right from your inbox on Airbnb. Starting today, you can do both.
Co-Host payouts
Share your cleaning fee
If you have a cleaning fee, you can now share it with your cleaner or another co-Host. To do this, add your cleaner or another recipient as a co-Host first.
Choose a payout option
You can now choose one of four payout options:
- Share the cleaning fee
- Share the cleaning fee plus a percentage of the booking amount
- Share a percentage of each payout
- Share a fixed amount of each payout
Note that if you add multiple cleaners as co-Hosts, only one can receive your cleaning fee. There are some limitations to sharing payouts with co-Hosts, depending on your location, your co-Host’s location and where your place is located.
Messaging your co-Hosts
You can now message your co-Host directly from your Airbnb inbox. You’ll be able to manage your listing and coordinate upcoming reservations from the same place you message guests.
These co-Host tools are part of the Airbnb 2023 November Release. Start using new features today when you opt in to Early Access.
