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."

Finally. I've seen listings where the cleaning fees double the full cost

Just checked and I was shocked to see how much any place was for a weekend... but I guess it is a weekend and I was looking at August... so there is that. Idk, I just assumed it wouldn't cost $380 to rent someone's RV that is across a street (not even abutting) from a lake for 2 nights...

Yeah... Unfortunately it's the only decent website/app I know that let's you rent nice secluded cabins to vacation in so I'm stuck using it

I heard vrbo was supposed to be another popular option, I haven't used it much though yet.
