Why do some properties show a service fee itemised in the price?

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:

• Accommodation: £450
• Service Fee: £50
• Total: £500

While others show:

Example B:

• Total: £500

Why the Difference?

The difference comes from how property owners structure their pricing:

Properties with Itemised Service Fees:

• Owners have set their rates using "nightly prices"
• The system separates the service fee in the breakdown
• You see each component of the total cost

Properties Without Itemised Service Fees:

• Owners have set their 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.
