"around a third of the $100 saving you make over the price of an average hotel room"

Up to 30USD of the 100USD I save compared to a regular hotel? PER NIGHT? In that price range, $30 are a mere tip.

Yes, in a London hotel in 2015:

> On average, guests paid $220 a night for a hotel room in 2015 before VAT, while Airbnb hosts received $142, according to the Hotelschool report, which was calculated in dollars. After taking account of hotel room VAT and Airbnb fees (assuming a 10 per cent guest fee and a 3 per cent host fee, plus VAT) the prices were $264 for the hotel room and $164 for Airbnb.
