I think OP is saying that the fee wasn't presented in the check out. It's reasonable for customers to assume that there are no other costs except for whatever was at the Airbnb checkout screen process.
- Liquidor 3y agoI've only used Airbnb twice but even I read the "fine print" (aka the entire description written by the host) as I quickly learned that they mention additional fees, city/country taxes and such in the text, which isn't in the Airbnb pricing/checkout. I'm surprised OP has used Airbnb a lot and not noticed this. It's in almost every posting lol.
- senttoschool 3y agoI've used Airbnb probably 50 times. I've never been charged extra fees that aren't in the checkout process.
- dspillett 3y ago> It's in almost every posting lol. I've certainly seen that sort of thing¹, but not nearly on “almost every posting”. It is likely to vary between locations, so perhaps OP has been lucky and only used the service for places where it is rare. -- [1] I've never booked somewhere with extras like that though, I too read the details before booking and that² is a red flag for me. [2] disingenuously deflating the headline price
- blitzar 3y agoThe long list of fees that are charge on top of the listed price are a pretty clear indicator that they’re just a middle man collecting a tax. Its also in their pitch deck so its not like they are trying to fool anyone.
