Airbnb said it plans to make the total cost of rental properties, including all fees, clearer to customers as they search for places to stay, addressing what is arguably one of the biggest pet peeves about the platform

The company said it will introduce an option next month to display the total cost of properties before taxes, including cleaning and other service fees, in search results, rather than just displaying the nightly rate before fees.

How about they regulate the BS “cleaning fees?” airbnb Airbnb

Both hotels/AirBnBs expensive, & AirBnB weakens local housing stock by taking available apartments & rooms out of play. Best solution: hotels/motels to lower rates, & people use them. When rent is $2500/mo, costs $80/day. Hotel rental rates easily triple that. Not sustainable.
