You can change the currency when on the booking page:

Yeah @Joan2709 , but I want to see the local currencies on the map / search. This is very crucial when you're booking it in different countries where the currency is different. I don't want to change it everytime.

You can do that as well...

1. Click 3 lines top right next to profile photo

2. Choose Language and Currency

3. Select Currency you wish to view

4. Map displays in the chosen currency

I am US based and switched to Canadian Dollar currency and searched for Toronto, Canada.

Map view displays in CAD instead of USD

That will show all prices in only one currency, which I do not want, because the conversion rate on Airbnb is worse than on the market. I want to see prices in the currency host selects to not pay additional exchange rate fees. That's it.

Ok..thanks for clarifying.

Not sure that Airbnb will ever provide that information, as that might be considered a privacy issue if they did that for every listing. I suppose you could message the Host and ask, but that would involve finding a listing you like and then messaging the Host. Many Hosts will use the currency of the country where the listing is located for payouts, but not all.

Wouldn't this also mean you would have to change the currency that you pay for every booking to match what the Host has selected to avoid the conversion fees?
