Airbnb to fix sneaky fees after ACCC probe

TRAVEL and accommodation booking sites Airbnb and eDreams have been forced to update their pricing policy after an ACCC probe into drip pricing.

AIRBNB can't hide surprise fees anymore after the consumer watchdog pushed the user-to-user accommodation service to improve its pricing policy.

THE Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has accepted undertakings from Airbnb and rival online travel agency eDreams to fix their pricing practices after the ACCC considered both were misleading consumers by not disclosing their mandatory fees straight up.
