Completely insane given how most websites default to the local currency based on IP, Airbnb included.
I just visited the site logged-out, from a non-US IP address, and although the home page claimed to be in the local currency, it actually displayed USD prices. I can't imagine how confusing it would be for countries that actually use the dollar symbol.
- Gigachad 4y agoProbably always a good idea to show the currency anyway to avoid any confusion. It's reasonably common to see something like A$10 or AUD$10 which is quite clear.
- johnwalkr 4y agoShould always be easily changeable too. It’s down to personal preference which currency is preferred when traveling. One might need to check a hotel rate in Europe against a company policy in USD, for example.
