Early access for Superhosts: custom Airbnb web addresses

Superhosts deserve web addresses that are as unique as their homes and hospitality. And soon, all Superhosts will be able to create a custom web address—an exclusive, easy-to-remember link that will help guests find their specific listings and make it easier to brand and promote their business. That’s right, no more lengthy web addresses that include random numbers and symbols (unless you prefer them, of course).

 

In the next couple of months, we’ll be introducing custom links to Superhosts. Superhosts will receive an email or a dashboard notification with a link to create their personalized web addresses.

Let’s brainstorm some ideas to make your link stand out. First, here’s what the new format will look like:

  • airbnb.com/h/[your custom name]

Some web address examples:

  • /french-alps-vacation-homes-and-cabins
  • /babu-getaways
  • /helens-homes
  • /private-room-in-barcelona-city-center

 

Things to think about:

  • What makes your space special?
  • Is your space in a unique location?
  • What makes your area or city one-of-a-kind?

 

Tips on making your custom link easier to read:

  • Use lowercase letters
  • Use hyphens, if you wish, but no other symbols or punctuation
  • Keep it short: 100 characters or fewer is ideal
  • Keep it private: don’t include contact information such as last names, email addresses, or phone numbers

 

Other points to keep in mind:

  • Avoid the word “Airbnb” and any trademarks or brand names, unless you own them or are authorized to use them
  • Steer clear of misleading information such as “verified” and “official,” and impersonations of another person, entity, or listing
  • See our policy with more details on what is allowed

 

This feature was designed so Superhosts can create memorable web addresses, put them on business cards and in email signatures, and promote them on social media. In the coming months, all Superhosts will get access to this feature—thank you for providing hospitality as unique as your future web address.

 

*Superhosts are allowed one custom URL per listing. If at some point, you’re no longer a Superhost, you will be able to keep your custom web address. If your listing becomes deactivated, the custom URL is then available for another listing to claim.

Is this feature ready?  Can we change our web address?  I don't see a link on here to do it anywhere...

OK so here's a TRICK QUESTION:   So I have my airbnb home which has 4 rooms in it ... using this feature would I have to list EACH ROOM with it's own unique descriptive name:  rooms/BlueTurtleBarbados; BlueFishBarbados; BlueMermaidBarbados  -- so all three rooms are listed separately    OR

 

COULD I USE AN UMBRELLA NAME for my LOCATION LIKE -- BLUETURTLE and ALL my room listings would come up on AirbnB search?  Making it truly a mini webpage for my AirbNB?   and the easiest way to promote and not have to list each and every room   OR

 

WOULD I have to list as BLUETURTLE/Fishroom;  BLUETURTLE/Dolphinroom;  BLUETURTLE/Mermaidroom   to have all my listings show up on the same page, which is a bit more awkward.

 

Thanks for any feedback.

This is a great idea! Love it!!

In fact I would love to reserve a URL name with Airbnb to match the instagram account I already started up for my airbnb house & suite.

How much will this cost? Usually specific domains cost money, but that would be great if this was an added perk of being a superhost.

Will property management companies who list on Airbnb also have access to this feature?

I think it's a great idea and look forward to it.  It will help communicate ambiance of the area and well as allow you to post upcoming events that may lend towards your airbnb is the ideal location for that event.  Our listings are streamlined with limited information for good reasons - simplicity for the guest; however, a website can elaborate more on your place if they want to know more about it.  Thumbs up on this idea.

Sounds great! Thank you, Airbnb.

Agree this could be an interesting concept that will benefit those with their own unique web address.
