Can I pass on additional electricity costs to guests via booking platforms?

Booking platforms generally allow additional costs such as electricity, provided you clearly state these in advance in the listing and not upon arrival. Usage-dependent costs, such as kWh that a guest purchases in advance themselves, are often more readily accepted than a fixed surcharge. The exact rules differ per platform and country, so always check this with the customer service of the platform you use.
