It's often a surprise when you make a booking on theAirbnb<\/a>A higher price than first thought. Take, for example, this studio apartment rented for 3 days in Paris. It appears at \u20ac243 for a stay from 23 to 26 November? But at the time of payment, it was \u20ac320. This is because the list price is gross and does not include the cleaning or service charges levied by Airbnb. In the case of Paris, the combined costs remain reasonable at \u20ac77. However, they can spiral out of control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly the case in North America<\/strong> where travellers can end up paying an extra $200 to $300, or even double the price of the accommodation after adding expenses. In Montreal, for example, a studio apartment rented on the same dates at \u20ac155 for three nights ends up costing \u20ac288. That's almost double. As well as accommodation taxes, the final bill includes \u20ac56 for cleaning. That's 36% of the price of the accommodation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
