Airbnb service changes will allow users to search by total price

Airbnb is overhauling its booking system to show upfront more of the total price guests will pay, reversing a design choice that annoyed many customers. 

Formerly hidden cleaning fees and service fees the platform charges will now be displayed in search, company CEO Brian Chesky said Monday.

The company will also change the search algorithm to allow travelers to sort bookings by total price, rather than a "nightly price" that often hid additional fees.
