Our Channel Management feature is extremely powerful and can greatly simplify your channel advertising. Learn how it works by reading our Channel Management Overview support article, and learn about the Channel Integrations we have with certain channel partners.
OwnerRez has partnered with Airbnb to provide a channel integration that allows OwnerRez users to easily distribute their existing property content, rates, rules, and availability directly to Airbnb and automatically receive back booking and guest information inside OwnerRez. Get started by reading our Airbnb Setup & Connecting support article.
Airbnb Host Fees
Airbnb has two different fee structures for hosts: a split fee and a single fee.
- All new Airbnb host accounts will default to Airbnb's single fee structure, which deducts a flat 15.5% service fee from your payouts.
- Starting October 27, 2025, all existing Airbnb channel-integrated properties will move to Airbnb's single fee structure, which deducts a flat 15.5% service fee from payouts.
Users can offset these Airbnb host fees with a +15.5% rate adjustment in their OwnerRez Airbnb channel integration by navigating to Settings > Channel Management > Channel Integrations > Airbnb > Change > Rate Adjustment, and set your Rate Adjustment to “Adjust both rent and surcharges” and “Increase by” and set the amount to 15.5% (or the amount you’d like).
After configuring an Airbnb Rate Adjustment inside OwnerRez, log in to your Airbnb account and opt in for Single Fee.
Pros and Cons of the Airbnb channel integration
OwnerRez's Airbnb channel integration keeps your property content, rates, and rules in sync with OwnerRez without extra effort, replacing the Channel Bridge tool and eliminating the need for iCal. Payments still occur on Airbnb, and the guest's complete contact information and email addresses can be requested directly from the guest. The main benefit of integration is managing content directly from OwnerRez. Anyone can join; start today!
Airbnb has special policies that apply to long-term bookings that are not supported in the Airbnb channel integration which may allow Airbnb to ignore many OwnerRez settings that users may have set. OwnerRez recommends that settings for long-term bookings (28 days or more) be made in Airbnb.
