I am a host and ABB has recently effective 9/15 said that hosts must include ABB's fees of 15.5% in the hosts nightly fee. What??? It's YOUR fee not the hosts. The rationale is that when people book the per night charge matches what the guests sees at checkout. Really, why? You don't want the guest to know that YOU (ABB) are charging them 15.5% of the hosts nightly fee. Instead you want it to appear to the guest that the host is charging a higher per night rate or ABB says the host can reduce their nightly rate by 15.5% so ABB gets there % and the host loses 15.5%. VRBO is a far fairer and supportive company than I am finding ABB to be. :(
