I'm planning to use Airbnb for my upcoming trip, but I'm not sure if the prices listed are fixed or if they can change. Can someone explain if Airbnb prices are fixed or if they fluctuate based on demand or other factors?

Instead, Airbnb charges a service fee to both guests and hosts for facilitating the booking process.

Certain hosts utilize a pricing strategy known as “smart pricing,” which adjusts rates based on demand.
