Request to add a 30 minute experience option on Airbnb

Hello everyone!

I’m a photographer and I also offer an experience on Airbnb. Many people have asked me to provide a 30 minute photo shoot experience, but Airbnb only allows a minimum session length of 1 hour. I’ve already asked the Airbnb team to add this option, but they said that a lot of people need to submit this request through their feedback center. What are your thoughts on this? Are there other people who would like to have this option too? If so, please send your feedback to Airbnb!

Greetings from Italy

Hi @David12895

 

Thank you for bringing this idea up in our community! How long have you been doing this photo shoot experience, and how is it going for you so far?

 

I wanted to tag in a few other hosts who, I believe, offer Experiences as well, to get their perspective on this question: @Damien591 @Fraser28  @Arthur424 @Aria15290 - what do you think?

 

I'm also including the official Airbnb feedback form here, so you or anyone else who'd like to can share your suggestion directly with Airbnb. 🙂

 

Thanks,

Emilie

Ciao Emilie,

 

Thank you so much for your support!

 

I have been working as a filmmaker/photographer for over 10 years, and I have been offering this experience on Airbnb since 2021 too. I believe this could be also a great way for Airbnb to provide more flexibility options to users. At the moment, I have 234 review, and many of these people have asked me about offering a 30 minute option.

 

Thank you for sharing my message with other hosts.

 

Have a great day!

Kind regards

David

I have an Experience request pending with Airbnb presently for a one hour walking tour. I have bene on Airbnb for several years now and find it very useful.

 

As to a thirty minute option?

 

From the angle of my specialty, history walking tours, it would not in my view work.

 

However, your experience is different, David, and having read your reply to the Airbnb Community question, I fully appreciate it WOULD work for your experience.

 

Good luck!
