Charging extra for bedding after booking [Canada]
I received a message, in app, after booking saying that I was to provide my own bedsheets and towels and if that was 'an inconvenience' the host would provide it at an additional charge of $20 per bed. Is this not a hidden fee that should have been disclosed before booking? Is this a common practice?
Context: We're staying two nights. The price was slightly more than comparables in the area. This fee makes it significantly more expensive than comparables. It's three bedrooms. One queen, two doubles. The duvet is supplied by the host. I do not have these sizes of bedsheets, so I will have to pay the $20 per bed fee, taking the 650$ price to $710.
Edit: Thanks for everyone's help! This is definitely not a custom of the area. I don't live that far away. We're canceling and just booking a hotel room, as I'm well within the cancelation window. I'm just super disappointed because I was trying to make a routine trip a little special this time. All I got was surprise fees and a mother who won't trust 'those phone app houses' anymore 🙃
