Hi everyone,
Welcome to the 2025 Summer Release Q&A. I’m excited to share more about Airbnb Services, Airbnb Experiences, and the all-new hosting tools announced today.
Airbnb Services are incredible services to make any stay more special. Guests can now upgrade their stay with services like a private chef or personal trainer—right at their Airbnb.* We’re launching in 260 cities with 10 categories: chefs, photography, massage, spa treatments, personal training, hair, makeup, nails, prepared meals, and catering. Services are vetted for quality, taking into account criteria like the service host’s knowledge, education, and reputation.
We’re introducing completely reimagined Airbnb Experiences—hosted by locals who know their city best. Guests have new ways to find and book experiences, giving them even more reasons to visit your city. Activities include unique tours, tastings, outdoor activities, workshops, and more. Experiences are vetted for quality, with a focus on hosts’ knowledge, reputation, and authenticity.
We’ve rebuilt the app for hosts to include everything you need to manage your home, service, or experience. All-new tools make it even easier to manage reservations, stay on top of scheduling, and grow your business.
What would you like to know about these updates? Please share your questions in this thread by May 16. I’ll share answers to the top questions in a couple weeks.
Thank you for being such a vital part of the Airbnb community—your insights and feedback help us grow and improve.
Warmly,
Christy
*Services available in select Airbnb home listings. Services are not available in all geos, including Brazil and Puerto Rico.

Bonjour,
Bienvenue à la séance de questions-réponses sur l'édition été 2025. J'ai hâte de vous en dire plus au sujet des services et des expériences Airbnb, mais aussi des nouveaux outils pour les hôtes annoncés aujourd'hui.
Les services Airbnb proposent des moments exceptionnels qui rendent les séjours inoubliables. Désormais, les voyageurs peuvent agrémenter leur séjour grâce aux services, comme ceux proposés par un chef ou un coach privé, sans quitter leur logement Airbnb.* Nous lançons 10 catégories dans 260 villes : les chefs privés, la photographie, les massages, les soins bien-être, le coaching privé, la coiffure, le maquillage, la mani-pédi, les plats préparés et les services de traiteur. Les services sont sélectionnés pour leur qualité, en fonction de critères tels que les connaissances de l'hôte de services, sa formation et sa réputation.
Nous avons entièrement repensé les expériences Airbnb : des activités proposées par ceux qui connaissent leur ville mieux que personne. Les voyageurs disposent de nouvelles façons de trouver et de réserver des expériences, ce qui leur donne encore plus de raisons de partir à la découverte de votre ville. Les activités comprennent des visites uniques, des dégustations, des activités en plein air, des ateliers et plus encore. Les expériences sont sélectionnées pour leur qualité, en mettant l'accent sur les connaissances des hôtes, leur réputation et leur authenticité.
Nous avons repensé l'application destinée aux hôtes afin d'y inclure tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour gérer votre logement, votre service ou votre expérience. Les nouveaux outils facilitent encore plus la gestion des réservations, la planification de votre emploi du temps et le développement de votre activité.
Avez-vous des questions au sujet de ces nouveautés ? N'hésitez pas à nous en faire part dans ce fil de discussion avant le 16 mai. J'apporterai des réponses dans quelques semaines aux questions qui seront revenues le plus souvent.
Merci de faire partie de la communauté Airbnb. Votre rôle, vos idées et vos remarques contribuent à notre développement et nous aident à nous améliorer.
Cordialement,
Christy

Ciao a tutte e a tutti,

I Servizi Airbnb sono perfetti per rendere qualunque soggiorno ancora più speciale. Gli ospiti possono migliorare ulteriormente la propria permanenza prenotando servizi come uno chef privato o un personal trainer, direttamente nel proprio alloggio Airbnb.* Stiamo lanciando il prodotto in 260 città con 10 categorie: chef, fotografia, massaggi, trattamenti benessere, allenamenti personalizzati, capelli, trucco, trattamenti unghie, pasti pronti e catering. Verifichiamo la qualità dei servizi basandoci su diversi criteri, come le competenze, la formazione e la reputazione dell'host.
Ecco a voi le Esperienze Airbnb completamente rivisitate, offerte da persone del luogo che conoscono la città come le proprie tasche. Gli ospiti hanno ora a disposizione nuovi modi per trovare e prenotare esperienze e, quindi, ancora più motivi per visitare la vostra città. Le attività includono impareggiabili tour, degustazioni, attività all'aperto, laboratori e molto altro ancora. Verifichiamo la qualità delle esperienze, con particolare attenzione alle competenze, alla reputazione e all'autenticità degli host.
Abbiamo riprogettato l'app per fornire agli host tutti gli strumenti di cui hanno bisogno per gestire i loro alloggi, servizi ed esperienze. I nuovissimi strumenti semplificano ulteriormente la gestione delle prenotazioni, il monitoraggio del calendario e la crescita della vostra attività.

Bienvenidos a la sesión de preguntas y respuestas del lanzamiento de verano del 2025. Me hace mucha ilusión poder compartir más información acerca de los Servicios y las Experiencias en Airbnb, así como de las nuevas herramientas para anfitriones que hemos anunciado hoy.
Los Servicios en Airbnb son actividades increíbles que hacen que una estancia sea aún más especial.

Empezaremos en 260 ciudades con 10 categorías: chefs, fotografía, masajes, tratamientos de spa, entrenamientos personales, peluquería, maquillaje, tratamientos de uñas, comidas preparadas y catering. Verificamos la calidad de los servicios teniendo en cuenta criterios como los conocimientos, la formación y la reputación de los anfitriones que los ofrecen.
También presentamos un nuevo concepto de Experiencias en Airbnb, de la mano de quienes mejor conocen una ciudad: sus propios habitantes. A partir de ahora los viajeros tendrán nuevas formas de encontrar y reservar experiencias, ¡y más motivos para visitar una ciudad! Las actividades incluyen tours únicos, catas, actividades al aire libre, talleres y mucho más. Verificamos la calidad de las experiencias y prestamos especial atención a los conocimientos de los anfitriones, así como a su reputación y a la autenticidad de las actividades.

Hallo zusammen,
willkommen zu unserer Fragerunde zum Sommer-Update 2025. Ich freue mich, euch mehr über Services und Entdeckungen auf Airbnb sowie über die neuen Gastgeber:innen-Tools zu erzählen, die wir heute vorgestellt haben.
Die großartigen Services auf Airbnb machen jeden Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Gäste können ihren Aufenthalt jetzt mit Services von Privatköch:innen oder Personal Trainer:innen aufwerten – direkt in ihrer Unterkunft auf Airbnb.* Wir starten in 260 Städten mit zehn Kategorien: Köch:innen, Fotografie, Massagen, Spa-Behandlungen, Personal Training, Haare, Make-up, Nagelpflege, zubereitete Mahlzeiten und Catering. Services werden auf ihre Qualität überprüft. Dabei werden Kriterien wie Fachkenntnisse, Ausbildung und Reputation der Gastgeber:innen berücksichtigt.
Wir präsentieren völlig neu konzipierte Entdeckungen auf Airbnb – angeboten von Menschen vor Ort, die ihre Stadt am besten kennen. Gäste haben neue Möglichkeiten, Entdeckungen zu finden und zu buchen. So haben sie noch mehr Gründe, eure Stadt zu besuchen. Zu den Aktivitäten gehören einzigartige Rundgänge, Verkostungen, Outdoor-Aktivitäten, Workshops und vieles mehr. Entdeckungen werden auf ihre Qualität überprüft, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf Fachkenntnissen, Reputation und Authentizität des Gastgebers bzw. der Gastgeberin liegt.
Wir haben die App für Gastgeber:innen überarbeitet. So findet ihr alles, was ihr zur Verwaltung eurer Unterkunft, eures Services oder eurer Entdeckung braucht. Mit den neuen Tools ist es jetzt noch einfacher, Buchungen zu verwalten, den Überblick über euren Terminplan zu behalten und euer Geschäft auszubauen.
Was möchtet ihr über diese Updates wissen? Bitte teilt eure Fragen bis zum 16. Mai in diesem Thread. Ich werde in einigen Wochen Antworten auf die wichtigsten Fragen geben.
Danke, dass ihr so ein wichtiger Teil der Airbnb-Community seid. Eure Erkenntnisse und euer Feedback helfen uns dabei, weiter zu wachsen und noch besser zu werden.
Viele Grüße

Hoi allemaal,
Welkom bij deze Q&A voor de 2025 Zomer Release. Ik vertel jullie graag meer over de vandaag aangekondigde Airbnb Services, Airbnb Experiences en nieuwe tools voor hosts.
Services op Airbnb kunnen een verblijf nog specialer maken. Gasten kunnen hun verblijf voortaan upgraden met services als een privékok of personal trainer, gewoon in hun Airbnb.* We starten in 260 steden met tien categorieën: kok, fotografie, massage, wellnessbehandeling, personal training, haar, visagie, nagelverzorging, maaltijden en catering. Services worden gecontroleerd op kwaliteit, waarbij wordt gekeken naar onder meer de kennis, opleiding en reputatie van de servicehost.
We introduceren de volledig vernieuwde Airbnb Experiences, activiteiten georganiseerd door locals die de stad kennen als hun broekzak. Gasten kunnen activiteiten op meer manieren vinden en boeken, waardoor ze nog meer redenen hebben om jouw regio te bezoeken. Activiteiten kunnen unieke rondleidingen, proeverijen, buitenactiviteiten, workshops en nog veel meer zijn. Activiteiten zijn gecontroleerd op kwaliteit, waarbij gekeken wordt naar de kennis, reputatie en authenticiteit van de host.
We hebben de app vernieuwd voor hosts. Je kunt er nu makkelijk je woning, service of activiteit in beheren. Gloednieuwe tools maken het nog makkelijker om boekingen te beheren, je planning bij te houden en je bedrijf te laten groeien.
Zijn er nog dingen die je over deze wijzigingen wilt weten? T/m 16 mei kun je al je vragen onder dit bericht stellen. Over een paar weken kom ik bij jullie terug met antwoorden op de belangrijkste vragen.
We stellen jouw bijdrage aan de Airbnb-community enorm op prijs. Mede dankzij jouw inzichten en feedback kunnen we verder groeien en nog beter worden.
Hartelijke groet,
Christy

LOVE THIS!! When will we know which countries will be offered this fabulous opportunity?!
I totally agree - I am in a regional area and we can hardly wait till Experiences and Services come on line in our region.
Thanks @Livia120, @Laëtitia-Stephy0, @Dr-Jayanthi1, @Pam5! Christy might elaborate more on this, but right now I can already share with you that Airbnb Services are launching in 260 cities in more than 30 countries including US, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Australia and Mexico.
@Quincy Thanks for the information. While we await feedback from @Christy-Schrader I am trying to think ahead maybe Airbnb could consider placing more emphasis on promoting the existing Experiences already available in the Africa market especially in light of the current excitement around the summer release. Just thinking aloud
If we are a service provider, how can we sign-up?
Hi @Jennifer5249! Prospective hosts can sign up through our landing page, and all submissions are reviewed for quality before being accepted.
Thank you @Quincy ! We are perfumers and offer a Mobile Mixtress blending service...What category would we be under?
Buonasera , io vorrei chiedere a Airbnb, se nella nella nuova release , sarà possibile finalmente all' host di vedere e conoscere chi vuole prenotare il nostro alloggio PRIMA di prenotare.
Inoltre faccio presente che è incredibile che " buona reputazione" sia parificata a " nessuna recensione in generale " e che queste persone possano utilizzare la prenotazione immediata.
Non ultimo , la voce " posizione " che penalizza gli host poiché inutile e non chiaro agli ospiti .
[Google Translation]
Good evening, I would like to ask Airbnb, if in the new release, it will finally be possible for the host to see and know who wants to book our accommodation BEFORE booking.
I also point out that it is incredible that "good reputation" is equated to "no reviews in general" and that these people can use immediate booking.
Last but not least, the "location" item that penalizes hosts because it is useless and unclear to guests.
Alessandra
Exactly, we are totally on the same page!
We can't disable instant booking to keep good booking rate, but I definitely won't like to risque no-reviews guests.
And YES! Location is really pointless, it spoils reputation a lot, we got some like "boring surrounding" and 3 stars (in the center of Prague(!))
Sono d'accordo con Alessandra sulla POSIZIONE.
La posizione è visibile sulla mappa, quindi è chiara.
La posizione della mia casa è bella, un pò rialzata, è ritenuto un luogo particolarmente bello nell'isola.
Eppure uno degli ospiti ha messo 3 allal posizione dicendo che non c'era niente (inteso ome locali, perchè ho addirittura un mini-market di fronte).
Non ha senso.
Se leggi il mio annuncio ti rendi conto che vai in un paese tranquillo e silenzioso, se lo scegli non puoi lamentarti che "non c'è niente"!
Sono a 10 minuti dal mare, a 3 minuti dai vulcani, a 10 minuti dall'aereoporto, a centro sud dell'isola.
Meglio di così!
[Google Translation]
I agree with Alessandra on the LOCATION.
The location is visible on the map, so it is clear.
The location of my house is nice, a bit elevated, it is considered a particularly nice place on the island.
Yet one of the guests put 3 at the location saying that there was nothing there (meaning local, because I even have a mini-market opposite).
It doesn't make sense.
If you read my ad you realise that you are going to a quiet and peaceful village, if you choose it you can't complain that “there is nothing”!
I am 10 minutes from the sea, 3 minutes from the volcanoes, 10 minutes from the airport, in the centre south of the island.
Better than that!
Bonjour @Christy-Schraderes et à tous les hôtes AIRBNB depuis la France,
Quelles fantastiques annonces en avant première !
Pouvez-vous nous indiquer quand nous connaîtrons les 260 Villes concernées ?
J’ai hâte de réserver nos vacances d’été avec de grandes expériences aussi accessibles !
Merci et bravo AIRBNB

Hello @Christy-Schraderes and all AIRBNB hosts from France,
What fantastic early announcements!
Can you let us know when we'll know the 260 cities involved?
I can't wait to book our summer vacation with such great experiences at such affordable prices!
Thank you and congratulations, AIRBNB!
Gracias Christy
Hallo Christy,
Dank voor je info en we gaan je helpen dit zo goed mogelijk naar iedereen te communiceren.
Zelf heb ik een vraag/verzoek omdat ik co-host ben van diverse listings waarbij ik niet alleen vooraf met de gasten communiceer maar ook de recensies schrijf. Nu is alle voorafgaande mail zeer duidelijk om welke listing het gaat maar nooit bij de recensie en juist nu met deze niuewe extra mogelijkheden is het fijn als de listing wel goed uit elkaar zou kunnen houden. Nu moet ik altijd eerst even checken want al;leen de naam van de gasten is niet voldoende. Een recensie is heel belangrijk en nu helemaal. Dus als de uitnoding om de recensie te schrijven ook een vermelding heeft van de listing zou dit heel fijn zijn.
Als Ambassadeur Superhost heb ik al de meeste vreemde gebeurtenissen meegmaakt en zowel de gasten als nieuwe hosts mogen begeleiden.
Het zou dus een extra tool kunnen zijn om iedereen zo goed mogelijk te blijven helpen.
Heel veel plezier met alle voorbereidingen van de sessie@
Tot dan
Mieke

Hello Christy,
Thanks for your info and we will help you communicate this to everyone as best as possible.
I myself have a question/request because I am a co-host of various listings where I not only communicate with the guests in advance but also write the reviews. Now all prior mail is very clear about which listing it is but never about the review and especially now with these new extra possibilities it would be nice if the listing could be distinguished well. Now I always have to check first because just the name of the guests is not enough. A review is very important and now even more so. So if the invitation to write the review also has a mention of the listing this would be very nice.
As Ambassador Superhost I have already experienced the most strange events and have been allowed to guide both the guests and new hosts.
So it could be an extra tool to continue to help everyone as best as possible.
Have fun with all the preparations for the session@
Until then
Mieke
Sería interesante que todos los anfitiones tuviesemos la misma política de precios, y la comisión del anfitrión siempre se repercuta de la misma manera.
[Google Translation]
It would be nice if all hosts had the same pricing policy, and the host's commission was always distributed equally.
