One of the main complaints from Airbnb users has been the inability to see the total cost of their stay upfront, including additional charges like cleaning fees. Airbnb has now addressed this issue by automatically showing the total cost, including all fees, for each property.
Users worldwide will now see prices before taxes when searching for properties. A new label stating “Prices include all fees” will be displayed on the website.
Airbnb initially tested this feature in 2019 in select European countries, Australia, Canada, and Korea. By 2022, the option to display prices before taxes was made available in the U.S. and 200 other countries.
In 2023, the feature was expanded to include price filters, maps, and listing pages. Airbnb reported that 17 million users have utilized this feature since its launch. The toggle option will be removed in the latest release.
Additionally, Airbnb has provided a feature since 2023 that allows hosts to view similar properties and compare pricing. Hosts will also be able to see how much their guests are paying before taxes, aiding in pricing adjustments.
