Hi @Namrata16 

Based on recent updates, Airbnb doesn’t support bold or other text formatting (like italics or underlining) in the listing descriptions. The editor currently only allows plain text. Alternatives, like using ALL CAPS or bullet points, can help emphasize key points.

I’ve tried to create some variation by using different symbols. It adds a bit of clarity and variety.

I’ve also heard about unofficial methods where people copy bold text from external editors like Google Docs or Microsoft Word and then paste it into Airbnb’s messaging or other sections. While this might work for guest messages, it doesn’t seem reliable for listing descriptions, as the formatting usually reverts back to plain text.

But let’s see if anyone has some good workarounds. I’m also interested in trying new methods! 🙂

Best regards, Karen

Excellent idea. I found some listing on AirBnb that DO use bold in their descriptions. I contacted the host to see if he can tell me how he achieved that. So definitely there is a workaround but we havent fount it yet.

Thank you ... we will keep exploring

Hi @Nestor153 , good to know. I have really tried testing all the methods I’ve read about without success. So, I think both @Namrata16  and I will be very interested when you get a response from the hosts you have contacted 🙂

New here and tried to find workarounds for better text formatting on descriptions and other areas.
To my surprise, basic HTML seems to work for both Desktop and Mobile viewing.

Bolded Text
< b>Text here< /b>

Divider
< hr> 

Make sure to remove the spaces.
