Do hosts get to set the price for their offerings? I remember talking to the owner of a place I was staying at, and he asked me how much AirBNB was charging. He said it was completely algorithmic, and outside his control. Because the place I was staying at was new, without a lot of reviews, it was a crazy good deal — he probably made $50 for my stay, which by rights should have been more like $300. I suppose that, in that situation, the cost of those hidden fees like cleaning might be a knob hosts can turn to feel in control.
