Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Average Airbnb cleaning fees for 12 cities around the world. Austin, TX leads. by robert_ritz

I wouldn't even care if they just added the fees to the price that shows on the map. This would be so stupidly easy that they must be not doing it on purpose, and I just can't imagine why.

Don't seem slow on the Australian one where the government mandate makes them show the prices as they are. https://www.airbnb.com.au/

Think everywhere else should jump on that because the fees are ridiculous oh its only 200 a night good deal actually 400 with fees taxes and everything.

So the same software issue doesn't apply for countries where they are forced by law to not try to trick customers? Using any EU vpn they can't try and screw you.

From Berlin, does the map still show you just an average nightly rate? Or does it show you the full price for the entire stay?

(From the US, the map just shows an average nightly rate for me, but the listing shows the exact breakdown.)

Can you elaborate a bit? What exactly is it that you see differently when you're in the EU?
