Book on https://airbnb.com.au where law requires showing the total (inclusive of all fees) in search results. You can set the price to USD or whatever other currency you prefer.

How do you change the currency without logging in? Because as soon as I log in on .com.au to do that, I'll get the not so transparent pricing again :(

Edit: It's just in the footer and I was blind. Thanks, that's actually awesome!

Wow, how did I miss that earlier... and googling it tells you on two different 3rd party airbnb blogs that you'd do it in your profile settings.

Thanks!

OMG thanks so much for this! You should post this as its own submission.

I am amazed that ABNB has this dark pattern as I don't see how it benefits them and it clearly pisses off users and makes searching so much more work than necessary.
