Airbnb set to improve price transparency

CEO Brian Chesky said on Twitter that beginning next month, the firm would provide the entire price of a stay in search results, as well as on the map, price filter, and listings pages. There will still be a breakdown of the whole price, including Airbnb’s service charge and any reductions. Furthermore, according to Chesky, Airbnb’s ranking system would favour total pricing above nightly prices. “The finest quality residences with the best overall costs will rank higher in search results,” said Chesky.
