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.”
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 have never seen a cheaper AirBnB offering. Where are these cheap offerings you speak of.
The last time I went to Ottawa, AirBnB was twice as much as the Marriott, plus you had to clean or pay a cleaning fee. Neither of those are things at a hotel.
Really? When I compare hotel rooms to whole houses on AirBnB, the hotel rooms are always cheaper. Are you comparing rooms on AirBnB to hotel rooms?
How does a room on AirBnB work? I guess I got the impression in media it was all whole apartments or houses.
Edit: Obviously you would search for a room. I mean for privacy / security, ingress, etc.
Idk, but it sounds pretty sketchy. There are couch surfing sites too, so I imagine similar to that.
I just would never use AirBnB. For a single guy, hotels have been better in basically all scenarios.
I’ve only ever found Airbnb prices to be more expensive while traveling in upstate NY and Vermont from Canada.
