Airbnb will now display how much you’ll pay for a stay – cleaning fees and all – as soon as you start your search. The update, which is rolling out globally, means you’ll see the total cost of a reservation (excluding taxes) before you reach the checkout page.
The company first started showing the full price of its listings in some locations in 2019 after facing scrutiny from the European Union over how it displays its fees. It later launched a toggle in the US and hundreds of other countries that shows the total cost of a stay across Airbnb’s search results, individual listings pages, and other areas of the platform.
Airbnb says nearly 17 million people have used the toggle since its launch in 2022, and now, you won’t have to worry about turning the option on when making a search. Instead, you’ll now see a banner at the very top of your search results that says, “Prices include all fees.”
