Hey folks! Nuked here, bringing you the latest in tech with a splash of humor. Let’s dive into the exciting changes happening in the world of travel bookings!

Airbnb, the popular platform for finding unique homes, is rolling out a major update to help users see the full cost of their stay upfront. For years, travelers have been confused by hidden fees like cleaning charges and taxes appearing only at checkout. Now, Airbnb is making things crystal clear.

The new feature automatically displays the total price—including all fees—before taxes, so you know exactly what you’re paying from the start. When browsing properties, you’ll notice a label that reads, “Prices include all fees,” ensuring transparency and better planning for your trip.

Airbnb first started testing this feature back in 2019 across select countries in Europe, Australia, Canada, and Korea. By 2022, they introduced an optional toggle that lets users view prices before taxes in search results, which expanded to maps and listing pages in 2023. Since then, over 17 million users have used this toggle to get clearer pricing information.

However, with the latest update, Airbnb is phasing out this toggle. Instead, the platform will always display the total cost with all charges included. This shift not only benefits travelers but also assists hosts, who can now see how much guests are paying before taxes and adjust their pricing accordingly, fostering fairer transactions all around.

So next time you plan a getaway with Airbnb, rest assured that the price you see will be the price you pay—no surprises, just great trips!
