The price a guest sees at checkout is rarely just the nightly rate. This page walks through the typical line items so you can read a price breakdown with confidence.
A booking fee is the platform's own charge, added to the guest's total at checkout on top of the nightly rate. It is not the cleaning fee and not tax. On most large platforms it runs from about 5% to 16% of the stay. Some platforms, including this one, charge guests nothing.
When comparing two listings, always compare the final total — not the headline nightly rate. A €100/night listing with €40 cleaning and an 14% service fee can land higher than a €120/night listing with €0 cleaning and 0% service fee.
Service fees are typically a percentage of the subtotal. Cleaning fees are flat per stay, which makes them proportionally larger on short trips. Taxes are usually fixed by jurisdiction and identical across platforms for the same destination.
BookingOnABudget.com charges guests €0 in service fees. Cleaning fees and applicable taxes still apply because they're set by the host or local authority.
