Hi, acccording to AirBnB 88 % of hosts try to make their homes greener and 66% of travellers think travelling with AirBnB is more sustainable/eco-friendly. And AirBnB started the Global Office of healthy tourism also with the goal to improve sustainability which I am finding a great idea! Nethertheless to my information there is currently no AirBnB

Buenos dias !Mi propuesta es sobre las peticiones de reserva rechazadas por los anfitriones .Me gustaria que aquellas reservas que no se ajustan a la fecha demandada ni al numero de huespedes , ni a las normas de la casa , como mascotas , niños , fiestas . Si el viajero demanda un servicio que en el anuncio se excluye o no existe , como picina , co

My "trips reviewed" shows a 75% of a required 50% minimum. I've reviewed everyone who has stayed with me, so I think this is counting four separate last minute reservations that I cancelled for different reasons, lack of ID for third party guest, too many bad reviews, etc. For two of these I am still receiving notifications to leave reviews by the

And the automated review site option could i

As long as Airbnb will continue to display so many ratings criteria, then statistical outliers should be discarded. For example, I had a perfect 5 for each of 9 bookings for "Value", and then received 2 for the 10th. Ironically it was a long-term guest who every month had trouble with his payment (Airbnb notified me it was rejected, and it took abo

Since guest and host reviews are made public, is there any reason why hosts cannot see/access a potential guest's review history? We can see the guest's recommendations by other hosts but not the reviews they gave to other hosts. This is very important information to see because the way the system is currently designed, hosts have fewer categories

The new Superhost review standard that will roll out after April (I believe it is now a 4.8 out of 5.0) is quite detrimental to Superhosts. I don't know of any other company where the hosts who are your actual "bread and butter" are treated more unfairly. Take a step back from this, Airbnb, and reconsider. Your Superhosts represent the bulk of your

Hallo,Frage geht eigentlich direkt an Airbnb.von uns Gastgebern wird erwartet das wir immer und schnell antworten, kann man das nicht auch vom Gast erwarten? Vor allem stört mich wen ein Gast kein Interesse hat bei mir zu buchen, er sich einfach nicht mehr meldet. Natürlich kommt von Airbnb nach 1 Tag die Aufforderung sich noch einmal beim Gast zu

We rent a room in a shared apartment on Airbnb. We often have the problem that we're away on the weekend and do not want to accept guests that arrive then. If the guest arrives earlier it's no problem. So an option to block dates for check-in and / or check-out would be fantastic.

Chris from Pittsburg made a very valid comment which I'd like to strongly suggest is implemented and can't really believe it isn't already: I think Chris' suggestion is a perfect answer to all our concerns.

Having been in the hospitality industry for 25 years and worked in all hotel/resort departments in the early years as a management trainee, I'd like to give you some advice with regard to the ranking system for guests.

Hello. I wanted to charge for a weekend at my place with a chef doing the cooking on Saturday night. I see people cooking for others all the time so a Chef seemed like a fun option. I was told that my insurance company won't allow it?? I am confused becuase Chef's carry 1-2 million on their insurance policies. I am wondering what Airbnb's insurance

We have strict rules (such as no pets, no smoking, no partyhing, limited head count). We recently had renters who used our house for hosting a party and had more people sleep in the house that registered. I claimed the entire security deposit (in this case $300) as penalty for this breach of contract. Airbnb sided with these renters and stated to m

I have had mostly very positive experiences however the two guests who have caused me the most grief both did not leave a review and so my review of them never made it to print... this is a problem that needs to be addressed I believe. They avoid negative reviews by not leaving one themselves as neither is visible until both are written and submitt

I lost my superhost status after nearly 3 years because I had 9 rentals (one 16 days long) in the specified period, instead of the required 10, even though I’ve already taken bookings for a total 90 days for this year and Airbnb actually does not allow me to take any more, due to London regulations! The stupidity of the Airbnb system is incredible.

I’m new to AirBnb and have just had my 10th guest and was hoping to acquire Super Host status. My access to statistical information is limited to my own limited experience but, at AirBnB, it would be nice if you employed a statistician to review both the data AND the model used in this regard. On 1 April you claim to have changed the criteria for a

I just found a great piece from Airbnb, which is their own policy about Trust and Safety and Communuty Standards and it applies to both guests and hosts. I think this should be madevery visbale on their main page of their website. I do not see it listed at the footer of the website. I also think this should re required reading by all hosts and gues

I think Airbnb should help hosts with a feature to ban/disallow bookings from certain guest wanting to book our house, let me explain the scenario: There are occassions where we had a bad experience with a guest and we would provide a honest feedback in their reviews, what could happen in the future is think about this person re-booking our house i

Hello there, I have recently hosting a listing from Bangladesh and I realized that the whole payout method is quiet complicated here.

I can't believe there is no pet fee option. My guests are happy to pay the fee but get confused that it can't be paid at the time of booking. Consider this, it takes additional transactions to get the pet fee paid. The host has to request the pet fee through a payment request and the guest has to make another payment. How inefficient! VRBO has a pe

In the interim--someone could NOT book yours because it shows booked.

Two of my past three guests have asked to make adjustments after their trips have started. In both cases, the guest wanted to adjust the number of people who would be staying. In both cases, these requests came in after they arrived. In both cases I asked the guest to submit a request to adjust their reservation and I would approve. And in both cas

I have concerns with details of this policy, but overall am in favor of it. For starters, we, as hosts only get 24 hours to make any decisions regarding cancelling. The same should apply to guests. Please change to 24 hours penalty-free grace period from 48 hrs. This will also make it more difficult for those who go around booking several different

The service fee for Custmer in Airbnb was 6%. Now it says ' In general, higher reservation subtotals have lower guest service fee percentages.(0 to 20%)' Clearly, this is not reasonable.

I really need the past calendar to see how much I was charging the years before. That is my version of Smart Pricing and Smart Hosting. Pls I need the past calendar.

If you like this idea please click the thumbs up or even better click it and comment because that’s how Airbnb decides which ideas to consider. We should be able to add a video tour of our property. This has probably been suggested on Host Voice but can’t see how to search this forum only.

I work in the lodging industry and we also use Air as an avenue to attract guests. In our regular business, we have online forums to mark or red-flag guests for their behaviour, payment (or lack thereof), damages, etc. We don't review our guests unless we are complaining to others in the industry. However, Air hosts and their respective guests rely

I have personally sought out properties with bikes while traveling, and I plan to have a few bikes and helmets ready for my guests to use this summer. Would definitely be a very handy filter for me, anyone else feel this way?

I am getting penalized for having long-term rentals & lost my superhost status. It makes no sense at all. How can someone who has been a superhost for over 2 years, had 170 nights rented out last financial year & EVERY SINGLE DAY so far this year rented out, all with 5 star reviews, not have enough bookings to warrant being a superhost. I have lite

One of the factors that apparently influences Smart Pricing is Bookings History, and this is incredibly problematic. Many hosts only get a fraction of their bookings from Airbnb, and they often do not get their more advanced bookings from Airbnb. So not only is the Smart Pricing algorithm biased by not having pricing data from most bookings, but th

Dear AirBnd.. I think the Zero tolerance cancellation must be rethought - I have been hosting for just over a year and have maintained superhost satus. I have 5 star ratings, excellent reviews from all my guest. A few days ago I lost this superhost status - when I reveiwed my progress and went over your aims and targets and see that I have supercee

Now that the Superhost Status is dictated by the overall rating I think we should see in our progress the overall rating out to the hundredth percentage point. With so many reviews mine hasn't moved in months from 4.8 but it doesn't tell me if I'm 4.81 or 4.89 and this is critical for us to react and make changes so we can maintain or achieve our s

I have sold my house and moved to a much smaller cottage so I won't be doing AirBnB anymore. I've put both my rooms on hold, but I would like to completely shut down my participation with this platform. I went into the proper screen and requested termination for both rooms, I give my reasons, enter, and then get a screen asking to confirm my cancel

Hello AirBnb! In the 'listings' section of the platform, I am able to view the 'Internal Names' I designate at the bottom of each description. But when I am in calendar view, arguably the most used section of the platform, I can only see the listing description. It would be nice if we could also see the "Internal Name". Please add the feature.

How do i ask a question. If a booking wants to add more days to their stay how do they do thatThanks Rana

I don't use Instant Booking. But I would if I could add some criteria to potential Instant Booking guests.My house sleeps 12, in 5 bedrooms. One of those bedrooms is a "Kids Room" with 2 bunk beds (ie sleeps 4 children).I am more than happy for families to book who have 4 (or more) children.I am not happy for 12 adults to book. This is when I run i

This new requirement put on AirBnb hosts - "Essentials - especially towels and sheets" is not showing regard for hosts who are sharing their homes and are not into a hotel business with professional laundry facilities. For hosts who have to arrange towels and sheets for every single guest, this Essential Amenities requirement will lead to an additi

I think you should feature properties that don't have an additional cleaning fee! I work hard to keep my properties in beautiful shiny condition and don't feel I should charge extra for it. When guests are "shopping" for lodging, it becomes complicated to figure out what the actual price of a property is with cleaning fees, service fees and taxes.

Currently, guests and hosts who break AirBnb rules and are found at fault in a dispute are still able to leave negative reviews. As long as they don't specifically mention that an AirBnb investigation was opened against them (by explictly mentioning the case number or name of the AirBnb customer service person involved) or attempt to extort their h

I would like to see the site 'require' guests to open/read the entire listing and house rules before they are able to finish the booking process.

Can Air BnB add a pet fee button? It is not that hard to add the button and would be curious why this is not on the system already. I am tired of people not mentioning they are bringing a pet, then they show up with one, two or three. I then have to chase them down and to add the fee. This is not only a hassle but makes for an uncomfortabale experi

I often get a message from a guest on the morning of check-out asking what the procedure is. They don't think to look in the apartment manual, or at the framed sign by the front door. It would be so easy to allow hosts to enter their checkout procedure online, and have the list messaged to the guest early the morning of checkout.

My guest suite has a posted "No Pets" policy. I have had two guests out of 24 bring their pets with them. One in the guise of an "Emotional Support Animal" and the other was shamefully impersonating a service dog. I have NO problem allowing a LEGITIMATE service animal to stay in my suite, but I do have a problem with so-called "emotional support do

This feature needs to be turned off for repeat offenders who have been negatively reviewed by multiple hosts.

This person had 2.5 stars, how and

I have used Airbnb as a guest since 2013, and as a host just since last month. After this short period hosting I am convinced that Airbnb is not concerned at all about retaining hosts, and I've decided to quit on my own terms after a succesful six weeks before Airbnb's disregard for troublesome guests inevitably brings trouble into my home. For som

Remove the tip that appears during the set up of a new listing's house rules that says "If you’re ever uncomfortable with a reservation, you can cancel penalty-free before or during a trip". Airbnb has made it very clear there *will be penalties* for hosts cancelling reservations.

We all understand the kinds of life events that can prevent travel. Rather than upsetting guests over non-refundable trips, Airbnb has shifted 100% of the financial loss to hosts by way of the extenuating circumstances policy. Why do guests not have some skin in the game when an issue arises on their end? This isn't a fair practice. We choose our c

Im having a BIG problem with the new policy to not order the reviews chronologically so that 1 unfavorable review from the worst guest I had in 5 years (out of most 5 star 51 reviews) keeps showing up at the top of my page while 5 great reviews are buried on page 4-5 where NO ONE will ever see them. Also makes it look like not many people stayed wi

Hosts receiving inquiries and bookings from Airbnb Newbies are seeing multiple guest's hometowns as "Lindenwold, NJ." This seems to be a new phenomenon, probably an artifact of an update. After opening a ticket w/ ABB Superhost support, I was told that it is a default setting that has to be changed by the guest. The advice was for me to remind them

Mixing old and new reviews is confusing, and as a guest I would want to see latest and up-to-date reviews, because that's the situation going on right now. Old reviews may reflect something good or bad that might not even be relevant anymore!!!!! Response from Airbnb We agree that older reviews may not reflect current reality as you continue improv

This new feature is unnecessary and doesnt add value for guests and further punishes hosts in an already flawed star system. Response from Airbnb Based on feedback from the host community, we decided to terminate the Lowest Review feature. The intention of this feature was to help set guest expectations for a stay by highlighting aspects of past ex

As discussed in other posts, it seems clear that Instant Book is inevitable based on how Airbnb is driving guests toward it, with hosts expected to follow along. It’s unfortunate, but there it is. As hosts, I don’t think we can boycott our way out of this mess. So maybe there’s a way to make IB more workable. I propose two refinements. No. 1: MORE

This is really messed up. Now when hosts indicate that our listing is suitable for up to X guests, it's really X guests + 5 free children under 2 years old, and there's no way to adjust for this. This is outrageous. 1. We should have a say in who comes in our homes for free, 2. We should determine the total number of guests. 3. FIVE FREE INFANTS? R

Soon we had loads of revi

these days, quite a few hosts are disgruntled about the "treatment" they receive from Airbnb, and the feeling is that guests are paid much more attention to than hosts. How about this fix: send out a monthly email newsletter to hosts, highlighting the changes newly implemented into the Airbnb platform, address some hot topics, add a few suggestions

Customising the availability of Instant Book would allow a lot of hosts to take more advantage of this feature Response from Airbnb Thank you for your feedback on Instant Book.

To be a superhost you need 80% or more 5 star reviews. For several of us it's very hard to get to that 80%. This is because a lot of guests don't give that a 5 star review for reasons like: - Only if is 100% perfect, we will give a 5 star, and there are always little things to complain... - Some people never give 5 stars, because it's overdone to d

Currently only a Hosts profile page will show how many average stars that person receives. And even tho we give star ratings to guests regarding communication and cleanliness, it does not show on their profile page. So then whats the point? A phone rep told me "yea the star ratings for guests dont mean anything. you can skip that part". I recommend

I have been with Air BNB for years. In the beginning, they were very helpful and easy to contact. Now it is impossible to get in touch with them. In their surveys, it does not leave any room for FEEDBACK. Did they just get our business and then forget to look after the HOSTS>???? They ask the Guests ....Not if they enjoyed their stay or had a lovel

Airbnb is pressuring hosts to accept bookings in two ways, Instant Book and the new policy to permanently block your calendar for not accepting or denying a booking request within 24 hours. I have always thought that Instant Book is counter to the founding principles of Airbnb and have said so at every opportunity. The new policy of blocking your c

I was always lead to believe that a review or review point, was a gague or meter to let me know how I, as host am doing.(??) Whereas all the other review points such as "Accuracy, Value, Cleanliness, etc" are points of review that tell me how I'm doing, (on-point, or possible improvements) I have never understood why the guest is given the opportun

AirBnB started as a sharing service between individuals. Guests are looking for a new and personal experience in someones home. Host wants the best experience for people in their homes.

Smoking in a non smoking hotel room is punished by a h

I think BnB shouldn't make it mandatory for some new hosts to use Instant Book. This has led to new hosts having to take on unsuitable, guests or being penalised because they don't understand the system and cancel guests who aren't a good match. It has also led to concern from existing hosts that it will be made mandatory for all hosts. It isn't a
