An Airbnb receipt is the itemized record of a stay — the nightly rate, cleaning fee, Airbnb service fee, and taxes that make up your total — available in your Trips and by email. Guests most often need it as an itemized PDF for an expense report or reimbursement. This guide shows how to get and download an Airbnb receipt, what each line means, and how the fees and taxes break down.

What's on an Airbnb receipt
An Airbnb receipt itemizes a reservation the way a hotel folio does, but with Airbnb's own fee structure:
Nightly rate & nights — the per-night price multiplied by the number of nights booked.
Cleaning fee — a one-time fee set by the host, shown as its own line.
Airbnb service fee — the guest service fee Airbnb charges on the subtotal, typically around 14%.
Occupancy taxes — local lodging or tourist taxes collected on the stay.
Dates, host & confirmation code — the check-in and check-out dates, the host's name, and the reservation's confirmation code.
Total & payment method — the amount charged and the card or other method used.
How to get and download an Airbnb receipt
Airbnb keeps a receipt for every reservation. On the website: go to Trips, open the booking, and select Receipt under the payment details — from there you can print it or save it as a PDF. In the app: open Trips, choose the stay, and find the receipt under the payment or bill section. Airbnb also emails a confirmation and payment receipt to your account address when you book, so searching your inbox for "Airbnb" is often the fastest way to an older stay's receipt. Both past and upcoming trips keep their receipts available.
Getting an itemized Airbnb receipt for expenses
For a business trip or reimbursement, you'll want the itemized receipt — the one that separates the nightly rate, cleaning fee, service fee, and taxes — rather than just the card charge. The receipt in Trips shows this full breakdown, which is what most finance teams and expense tools require. If your company reimburses lodging up to a nightly cap, the itemization makes clear which portion is room cost versus fees and taxes. Save the PDF as soon as the trip is confirmed so it's ready at expense time.
How Airbnb fees and taxes work on the receipt
Three lines beyond the room rate usually surprise guests. The cleaning fee is set by the host and charged once per stay, not per night, so it weighs more on short trips. The Airbnb service fee — commonly around 14% of the subtotal — is how Airbnb makes money on the booking. Occupancy taxes (also called lodging or tourist taxes) are set by the local government and collected by Airbnb where required. Reading these as separate lines helps you compare an Airbnb's true total against a hotel, where taxes and resort fees appear differently.

Airbnb receipt templates and copies
If a receipt is hard to read or you need a clean itemized copy for an expense file, our Airbnb receipt template and generator reproduces a clear breakdown of a stay you actually booked — nightly rate, cleaning fee, service fee, taxes, and total — formatted for easy filing.
For legitimate record-keeping only. Creating a receipt for a stay you didn't book, or a fake booking or cancellation record, is fraud. Use this only to reproduce or organize your own genuine Airbnb reservations.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
How do I get a receipt from Airbnb?
Go to Trips on the Airbnb website or app, open the reservation, and select Receipt under the payment details. You can print it or save it as a PDF. Airbnb also emails a payment receipt to your account address when you book.
How do I download an Airbnb receipt as a PDF?
Open the reservation under Trips, choose Receipt, and use your browser's Print command with "Save as PDF" (or the app's share option). That gives you a clean itemized PDF for an expense report.
What fees are on an Airbnb receipt?
The nightly rate times the number of nights, a one-time cleaning fee set by the host, the Airbnb guest service fee (typically around 14% of the subtotal), and any local occupancy taxes, followed by the total.
Can I get an itemized Airbnb receipt for work?
Yes. The receipt in Trips itemizes the nightly rate, cleaning fee, service fee, and taxes separately, which is the version most employers and expense systems require — not just the card charge.
Why is the Airbnb cleaning fee so high on short stays?
The cleaning fee is charged once per reservation, not per night, so on a one- or two-night stay it makes up a larger share of the total than on a longer trip. It's set by the host and shown as its own line.
Does Airbnb send a receipt by email?
Yes — a confirmation and payment receipt are emailed to your account address when you book. You can also access and re-download the receipt anytime from Trips.
