For Hosts
The Airbnb Fee Tax: What Is It Costing You?
Airbnb's 15.5% host-only fee forces you to overcharge guests or lose profit. Shabbaton helps you keep more of what you earn.
The Problem
Airbnb started as a way to connect guests directly with property owners. Over time, fees have increased and small hosts now lose a large part of every booking to platform charges.
- ✕Guests pay more.
- ✕Hosts keep less.
- ✕Airbnb controls the customer relationship.
- ✕Repeat bookings are harder to build.
- ✕Small owners become dependent on one platform.
The Shabbaton Solution
Shabbaton is a lower-fee alternative for short-term rental owners, built around Jewish travel needs.
