Airbnb Default Daily Pricing

What Is the Default Daily Price?

The Default Daily Price (DDPP) is the base rate that appears as a “teaser” price on Airbnb’s search results and calendar view. It helps attract attention to your listing but doesn’t always reflect the final price a guest will pay.

💡 For Clients Using Length of Stay Pricing (most clients):

  • The DDP is displayed on the Airbnb calendar and search page.

  • However, it is not used to calculate quotes or actual reservation prices.

  • Boost automatically calculates the DDP for LOS clients.

  • You can leave the DDP field blank unless Airbnb flags your Pet Fee as too high (Airbnb requires pet fees to be lower than the DDP).

  • If needed, you can manually adjust the DDP in Boost to resolve this.

🏠 For New Listings (never on Airbnb before, connected via Boost):

  • The DDP will be used as the teaser price.

  • It must be higher than the Pet Fee to avoid Airbnb errors.

🔁 For Listings Previously Managed on Airbnb:

  • If the listing had calendar rates or a DDP set before connecting to Boost:

    • Airbnb will show those rates as the teaser price.

    • LOS pricing is only available via API connection.

🔧 How to Override the Airbnb Calendar Rate:

  1. Select the listing(s) in Boost.

  2. Run the “Set Daily Price to Default” action.

  3. Then run Import/Sync to update Airbnb.

📊 How Boost Calculates the DDP:

Boost uses a function called “get lowest price” that works with the LOS pricing algorithm. It typically selects the lowest available nightly rate over the next year (excluding unavailable dates).

🧮 For Clients on Standard Pricing:

  • The DDP is ignored.

  • Airbnb calculates the teaser price as the average of the next 7 available nights.
