Do Airbnb prices go up?

Or Do They Go Up? Airbnb prices tend to be cheaper the closer you are to your proposed booking date. This price fluctuation happens because hosts are willing to reduce their listing price to increase their occupancy rate. To a host, it is better to have a source of revenue at a reduced price than no revenue at all.

How much does an Airbnb cost?

Should you lower the price on Airbnb?

If it’s just a few days before your stay, it is very likely your Airbnb host will consider lowering the price so they can get that room filled. This may not work, however, if it is high season in a very touristic place; in those cases, your Airbnb host may be more confident they can get the room booked, even at the last minute.
