Airbnb adopts two distinct service fee models. The first model is known as the split-fee model.

In the split-fee model, hosts are responsible for paying approximately 3% of the booking subtotal as a service fee. This percentage is relatively low and is designed to cover Airbnb's operational costs associated with hosting the service.

On the other hand, guests are charged a higher service fee under the split-fee model, ranging from 6-12% of the booking subtotal. This fee is meant to cover Airbnb's marketing and customer support expenses.

The second model is the host-only model, which differs significantly from the split-fee model. In this case, the host is required to cover the entire service fee.

The host-only model's service fee ranges from 14-16% of the total price of the booking. This percentage is higher than the combined fees paid by hosts and guests under the split-fee model, reflecting a different cost structure for Airbnb.
