Overview

• As of April 21, 2025, Airbnb globally defaults to displaying the total cost of stays, including all fees and taxes, for all users.
• This update anticipates the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's new rules requiring transparent pricing, set to take effect on May 12, 2025.
• The feature builds on a multi-year rollout, starting with tests in 2019 and expanding through optional toggles in 2022 and 2023.
• A new host tool allows property owners to compare pricing with similar listings and view guest payment breakdowns before taxes.
• Since introducing the tool, nearly 300,000 listings reduced or removed fees in 2023, with 40% eliminating cleaning fees entirely.
