Can Airbnb host change prices?

As a Host, you can change the price of a confirmed reservation by sending your guest a trip change request. If the guest accepts the request, the reservation will be updated and the guest will be charged or refunded if necessary. If they decline or don't respond, then the reservation will stay as is.
