New feature : Pricing chaos in Airbnb search

[Pete28]

Not sure if someone made a mistake, or Airbnb is testing a new crazy scheme but now searching in Seattle the price filter is being applied to the base price, not including cleaning and fee etc which are now shown separately. 

The result of this is that if you search for say <$100 you get 100s of properties, almost all of which have total cost of over $100 when you add in cleaning fee etx. I can't see how this helps guests, just creates utter confusion.

I guess I will wait and see if this remains the same for a day or two. If it does then the answer to being found in a price based search is to shift the majority of your cost to the cleaning fee.

I wish Airbnb wouldn't make these random changes - it's hard to rely on it for a source of income when you suddenly find you need to reprice everything...
