Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading::Airbnb's CEO said that he's heard guests "loud and clear" that pricing on the platform isn't transparent and "checkout tasks are a pain."

Last time i stayed with Airbnb, the host complained that I didn't sweep the floor and take out the trash. I paid the cleaning fee!

Great, now fix where listings outside of your price filter keep appearing. And it's not just places where there are so few options in one's price range that it would otherwise be no results.

Why "before tax", doesn't that still confuse things?

I have never encountered hotel rooms that are cheaper than the comparable local Airbnb offerings (at least in Canada and US). Where are these cheaper hotel rooms?

I've only ever found Airbnb prices to be more expensive while traveling in upstate NY and Vermont from Canada.
