Finding a host

[Jelena264]

Hi there.

Just wondering, is there a way to find a host by a name pls?

Thank you

Hi @Jelena264 

Nope, Airbnb doesn’t have a public search feature that allows you to find a host by name. If you know their listing name or location, you can search for properties in that area and look for their profile.

Thank you.

Hi @Jelena264! In addition to @Patricia2526's comment, did you know that we also have a Co-host page where you can find local Co-hosts? 

I've added the link here in case you'd like to take a look 🙂https://www.airbnb.com/co-hosts/home

@Jelena264 @Patricia2526  Thank you Quincy for the Co-host page information. But why isn't there a host page also. It makes no sense to me. Knowing other local hosts and sharing information would be very helpful. Yes, the Community Cafe is great, but it's not the same as sitting down and sharing over a real cup of coffee. Airbnb should make it easier for hosts. Thank you!

You can join your local Host Club and they usually have local meetups to just that!

Thank you, Joan. I checked, there aren't any clubs in my area. I guess I need to start one!

Best, Marisa

@Marisa182. Hi Marisa, you sound like you are keen, have you tried sending a message to contact one of the experienced hosts who lists near yours?

If you read their reviews you should get some idea of who they are. Yes, can be hit and miss (especially if they dont live local) but they might know someone who knows another local host who IS keen to catch up.

Suggest you try contacting any with a co host as well- maybe they are closer.

Good luck, its a great question.

Thank you Quincy. I don't think all local hosts are listed on that page though... Thank you anyway.

@Jelena264. Is there a particular reason why you need to contact a particular host? I gather you dont know their listing either, otherwise you could message them.
