Additional fees are amounts added to the accommodation price: e.g. final cleaning, parking, allowing a pet. You can choose whether they're mandatory (always charged) or optional (the guest selects them when booking).
Where to set it
Settings → Pricing → the "Additional fees" card.
Two charging types
One-time: added once to the whole stay, regardless of the number of nights. Example: a 150 PLN cleaning fee whether the guest stays 2 or 14 nights.
Per night: added to each night of the stay. Example: parking 40 PLN/night, for 7 nights the guest pays an extra 280 PLN.
Mandatory vs. optional
Mandatory: automatically added to every booking; the guest can't remove it. Use it for fees you always charge (e.g. final cleaning, a service fee). Don't add the deposit here: it's a separate mechanism (see the section below).
Optional: appears as a checkbox next to the booking form with a description and amount. The guest ticks what they want, e.g. parking or a travel cot.
