All the regular travel websites I've seen for searching hotel rooms list prices without including taxes, and more importantly, resort fees.<p>How about if someone makes a website which displays, and can search/filter by the room+resort fee? It doesn't seem that hard. Even if the hotels don't like it, a website like this can still be monetized by ads and other affiliate programs. There's a hole in the market, and the implementation isn't even that hard. Why doesn't it exist? If nothing else, I think one could even make a browser plugin that at least changes the source page for listing.
In Europe travel websites are no allowed to do that. They have to list final prices including any taxes, credit card fees and such. <a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-844_en.htm" rel="nofollow">http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-844_en.htm</a> A recent trick was to default to a co-branded credit card where any other payment method costs extra. Of course the co-branded credit card has a high annual fee so it was unlikely a user would choose that.
Yeah, same with airlines and (hand)luggage. It's all very well seeing that the bargain flight will cost you £30, but when the new cabin baggage rules mean it's going to cost you another £12 on top, it's a little frustrating.
There are even websites that list the resort fees, such as
