Service Fee Explained
Why some properties show fees separately
Properties using nightly rates display service fees separately in the price breakdown, but you're not paying anything extra - the total cost is the same as if it were included.
Understanding Service Fees
You may notice when browsing properties that some show prices like this:
Example A - Itemised
Example B - Combined
Same price, different display
Why the Difference?
The difference comes from how property owners structure their pricing:
With Itemised Service Fees
- Owners have set rates using "nightly prices"
- The system separates the service fee in the breakdown
- You see each component of the total cost
Without Itemised Service Fees
- Owners have set rates using "weekly prices"
- The service fee is included within the total price
- You see one combined total
✅ Important: You're Not Paying Extra
The total cost is exactly the same regardless of whether the service fee is itemised or included.
This is purely a display difference based on the owner's pricing structure - it doesn't affect what you pay.
