Thank you! ***FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS*** “What is the Airbnb service fee?” To help Airbnb run smoothly and to cover the costs of the products and services they provide, like 24/7 customer support, Airbnb charges a service fee when a booking is confirmed. We do not have control of this fee. “What does the cleaning fee cover? Cleaning fee only covers the cost of preparing our place in-between guests. It includes a complete change of clean bedsheets, towels, supplies, cleaning products, and especially our time. It does not include cleaning during your stay. Guests are expected to tidy up if they used kitchen wares. Just try to put everything back in place. Guests may opt for cleaning service for an additional charge of 700PHP each time. To use this service, guests must advise at least 2 days beforehand and/or once the reservation is confirmed; can also be arranged at check in. Kindly allow us at least 3 hours to clean the apartment. The unit must also be vacant before we start. “Is early checkin/late checkout allowed?” Subject to availability. Please note that we need ample time to prepare the room and ensure cleanliness for the next guest. “Will there be other guests in the house?” No. The unit is entirely yours. “Can we settle outside of Airbnb so that we don't have to pay for the service fee?” NO. Most especially if we don't know you. The Airbnb platform protects both the guest/s and host and this service, of course, has a fee (we as hosts pay their service fee as well). "How much for this-to-that dates?” Simply enter the dates of your stay and number of guests on the reservation panel and the price will automatically show (it will include the Airbnb service fee that I actually have no control on my end). If booking for a future date (3-6 months in advance), please do message us to check availability and pricng.
