Pricing structure explained
The fairschlafen pricing model is designed around a simple principle:the more people share an apartment, the lower the cost per person. A solo traveller pays €50 per night; a group of six pays just €18 per person. This makes our apartments particularly competitive for families, friend groups, business teams and worker crews – any situation where multiple people are travelling together.
| Number of people | Per person/night | Total/night | Per week | Per month (30 nights) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | €50.00 | €50.00 | €350 | €1,500 |
| 2 people | €30.00 | €60.00 | €420 | €1,800 |
| 3 people | €22.00 | €66.00 | €462 | €1,980 |
| 4 people | €18.00 | €72.00 | €504 | €2,160 |
| 5 people | €18.00 | €90.00 | €630 | €2,700 |
| 6 people | €18.00 | €108.00 | €756 | €3,240 |
All prices are subject to 7% VAT. There is a one-time cleaning fee of €65 per stay – this is charged once regardless of how long you stay, so longer stays represent better value. If you stay for a week, that €65 works out at less than €10 per night extra.
For business guests we can issue a proper invoice with VAT clearly stated on request, making it straightforward to reclaim the accommodation costs as a business expense.

Full price comparison: fairschlafen vs. the alternatives
To understand the real cost advantage of booking directly with fairschlafen, it helps to look at the full picture – including the service fees that Airbnb and Booking.com add on top of the advertised price.
| Accommodation type | 4 people/night | Kitchen | Washing machine | Parking | Portal fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| City centre hotel (2 rooms) | €160–280 | ❌ | ❌ | paid (€15–25) | – |
| Budget hotel (2 rooms) | €100–160 | ❌ | ❌ | often paid | – |
| Airbnb Leipzig (typical) | €80–180 | ✅ | usually ✅ | usually ✅ | +15–20% |
| Booking.com | €75–160 | usually ✅ | usually ✅ | varies | +15% |
| fairschlafen (direct) | €72–108 | ✅ | ✅ | free | 0% |
The critical difference is the portal fee. When you book a property on Airbnb at an advertised price of €90 per night, you typically pay €105–108 after the service fee is added. When you book the same apartment directly with the owner, you pay €90 – or less. That difference compounds quickly over a week or a month.
Money-saving tips for Leipzig
- Travel in a group of four or more:The price per person drops from €50 (solo) to €18 (group of four) – a saving of 64% per person just by sharing. If you can coordinate with colleagues, friends or family, the savings are dramatic.
- Stay for at least a week:The one-time cleaning fee of €65 is charged regardless of length of stay. Over seven nights it adds just €9.30 per night; over a single night it adds €65. Longer stays are always better value.
- Always book directly:Skip Airbnb and Booking.com – their service fees add 15–20% on top. Contact us by WhatsApp or phone and you pay the real price with no platform markup.
- Cook your own meals:With a fully equipped kitchen, a group of four cooking at home can easily save €50–80 per day compared to eating every meal in a restaurant. Over a week that is a saving of €350–560.
- Use the Leipzig Card:If you are planning to visit museums, the Leipzig Card (available for 1, 2 or 3 days) bundles unlimited public transport with free or discounted entry to many attractions.
- Avoid trade fair weeks:The Leipzig Book Fair in March and other major trade fairs push up all accommodation prices in the city. If your dates are flexible, avoiding these periods will save money.
- Ask about long-stay rates:For stays of four weeks or more, get in touch directly to discuss pricing. We can often offer a better deal for extended bookings.
Why booking direct saves money
The major booking platforms – Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and others – charge property owners a commission of 15–20% on every booking. Owners have two choices: absorb this cost (reducing their margin) or pass it on to guests (raising their prices). Most do a combination of both. Either way, the guest on a platform pays more than the guest who books directly.
At fairschlafen we list exclusively on our own website and take bookings directly by WhatsApp and phone. We have no platform fees to cover, which means we can charge lower prices and still cover our costs. The person you speak to when you book is the owner – there is no customer service department, no call centre and no automated systems. If you have a question, you get a direct answer from someone who knows the apartments personally.
