Airbnb has announced a significant update where users will now see the total price of listings, including cleaning fees, by default on the app. This change aims to eliminate surprises when confirming bookings, as previously, additional fees were not displayed until reservation finalization. While the new feature enhances transparency, Airbnb clarifies that local taxes are still excluded from the total displayed price. This update is part of Airbnb's ongoing efforts to improve user experience, which includes features like smart lock codes and AI-powered messaging for property owners.
