Google fixed this for flight search years ago. Do they show wrong prices for hotels?

Even if the Google Hotel Search feature fixed it, it doesn't help for other search results, or if people just run a quick search on each site and notice the prices are much higher on one than on the other.

At one point we were sending prices to GHS, which I think were all-in. But it was a fraught relationship, which I think ended. Google was trying to take a huge cut of the fees, while offloading the hard work of managing travelers, owners, payments, complaints, etc to us. It didn't make sense to help them eat our lunch.
