Nu has a point that has got lost.
This place charges a 500% cleaning fee on one night's accommodation. Ooops. AirBnB won't allow the link to post.
I went to book in Richmond, near Vancouver airport for one night. We could stay anywhere as we have a car. Most places are $100+/- a night. This is what I expect to pay. I found a place for $25. and after clicking through, saw that the cleaning fee was $120. The total was $145, but the low nightly rate places this property at the top of the Vancouver airport area page. Logically, most people near the airport BnBs would be one night guests. The property was a room, not a floor or house.
AirBnB was not intended to operate like this. I understand the cleaning fee is one time even if one stays seven days. However from the searchability of cities for AirBnB, as Nu said, we have to scroll through EVERY property as this fee has rendered pricing useless.
For those who are not agreeing with Nu, consider this as a host. AirBnB specifically has requested hosts to post reasonable cleaning charges. Some hosts, however, have purposely displayed a super low advertised price to attract potential guests to a property, but a 500% charge awaits a guest upon clicking through, which makes the search function futile.
Nu was wanting to use AirBnb but was commenting on the fact that the price we specifically filter for may not be remotely close to the price a customer pays. Hence, the search functions are useless. Of course, many don't play this game and charge let's say $100 and a $10 cleaning fee. One can expect this and it makes sense.
