- Overall, Table 1 above shows that Airbnb revenue net of cleaning fees declined by 41% and total booked days declined by 42% between 2019 and 2020. Meanwhile, average cleaning fee per reservation increased by 47% and average price increased dramatically by 19% from 2019 to 2021. These statistics demonstrate that the pandemic-induced shocks to STR hosts were likely a mix of shorter term, uncertain demand-side shocks and longer-term cost-side shocks.
