Airbnb charges hosts a single 15.5% host-only fee since its May 2026 change. Booking.com's commission runs a much wider range, 10% to 25% depending on your property and agreement, plus separate payment processing, so its default here uses the 15% global-average rate for a fair comparison. Enter a booking amount to compare, using the exact same fee logic as each platform's own calculator.

Airbnb charges hosts a single 15.5% host-only fee since its May 2026 change. Booking.com's commission runs a much wider range, 10% to 25% depending on your property and agreement, plus separate payment processing, so its default here uses the 15% global-average rate for a fair comparison. Enter a booking amount to compare, using the exact same fee logic as each platform's own calculator. Both sides use the exact fee formulas from each platform's own dedicated calculator, so if you want the full breakdown with every input option, visit the Airbnb calculator or Booking.com calculator directly.
This comparison uses each platform's most common default rate (category, plan, or region) to keep things simple. Your actual rate may vary; check the full calculator for either platform to adjust for your specific category, plan, or country.
Fee rates are kept current but can change without notice. Always confirm current rates directly with each platform before making pricing decisions. This tool provides estimates only and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Airbnb or Booking.com.
