After the recent hurricanes, a few hosts that I know from different forums suffered terrible damages during the hurricane season. For the worst hit islands, Domenica, Puerto Rico, there are discussions in some forums, how to help their friends to rebuild their places and their hosting businesses. These hosts are with limited access to Internet now, have lost electricity, their roof or their houses.
It would be great, if airbnb would add something like a donation listing, with no or a very low fee, no taxes and able to donate quickly / book the same night as a donation with no stay. Maybe with a lower minim7m, like 5 Euros.
Providing the infrastructure, using the already existing bank connections would help a lot.
And it’s a feature, that could be applied to other events too.
Crowdfunding pages take a high percentage and how you set up such a page without knowing more than the first name of your friends? Airbnb already has all the information.
