Airbnb to Show Full Price by Default Thanks to Biden-Era Rule

Airbnb is mandating price transparency globally by displaying total costs upfront to combat unfair fees like cleaning charges, which have deterred users from booking certain properties due to hidden expenses. Previously, in regulated regions since 2019, Airbnb defaulted to showing full prices and introduced a "toggle on" feature that eliminated or reduced half of listings by lowering fees. The updated FTC rule aims to enhance clarity and fairness for both businesses and consumers.
