How much to charge for Airbnb extras: a UK pricing guide
Here is what most UK hosts charge for the twenty extras we think are worth offering, cheapest first, with a suggested figure for each. Price an extra too low and you give away your own time; price it with no reasoning behind it and you will second-guess every booking.
These are our curated ranges, based on what each extra costs a host to deliver and what guests are used to paying. Treat them as a starting point and adjust for your own costs and turnaround. If you are still deciding what to offer at all, start with the upsell ideas hub.

Pricing questions hosts ask
Where these numbers come from, and how to adjust them for your own place.
How much should I charge for late checkout?
Most hosts charge £10 - £25 for a late checkout, and £20 is a sensible starting point. Price it against what the extra hours actually cost you: a quiet changeover with no same-day arrival sits at the bottom of that range, while delaying your cleaner or squeezing a same-day turnaround belongs at the top.
How much should I charge for early check-in?
Most hosts charge £10 - £25, with £15 a common starting point. Only offer it when your changeover genuinely allows it - a confirmed early arrival you then have to walk back costs far more in goodwill than the fee was worth.
What is a realistic price for a welcome hamper?
Most hosts charge £25 - £45 for a hamper of local produce, and £35 is a reasonable middle. Work back from what it costs you to fill: if the contents come to more than about half the price, either the hamper is too generous or the price is too low.
Should I charge for extras, or include them to get better reviews?
Charge for anything that costs you time or money, and give away only what is genuinely free to you. Guests are used to paying for early check-in, late checkout and hampers, and a fair price attached to a clear description reads as professional rather than mean. What damages a review is a promise you could not keep, not a price you were upfront about.
Where do these price ranges come from?
They are our own curated guidance for UK short-term rentals, drawn from what these extras typically cost a host to deliver and what guests are used to paying. They are a starting point, not measured market data - your costs, your location and how tight your turnarounds run should all move you within the range, and sometimes outside it.
