Monthly Stays ~ Allowed vs. Exclusive

[Susan990]

Hello fellow Hosts,

  I would like to start a conversation about long term versus short  term  reservations and how to market those 2 categories on the Airbnb platform.

The goal of this discussion is how to highlight the benefits and differences between those 2 lodging products and the  benefits of booking via Airbnb vs. the commercially available alternatives of today.  Understanding that Today will evolve over time.  Lets all talk about what tools we have in the Airbnb platform that uniquely serve  the market and seekers of alternative lodging which we  have in hand and how to expand and enhance those capabilities to meet the needs of the travelers of today.

On Airbnb platform the "marketing" for long term stays is the same as for short stays.

Just search for a stay of 28 nights or more, and you see "long term stay" offers.

Some differences are highlighted here:

What are some differences between longterm hosting and shortterm hosting

How do changes and cancellations work for longterm reservations

What are some things i should consider before hosting longterm guests

How are longterm reservation payouts processed

Also good to know: the Airbnb Guest Service fee is significant lower for Long Term Stays (approx. 5% lower)
