Dear Airbnb Community Forum,
I just wanted to hear your thoughts on a personal side project of mine called Bedaboo.
Bedaboo was born over a cup of Earl Grey tea at a Host’s kitchen table, which she had kindly sourced for us, while we were traveling through Europe. She gave us a personal tour of her city and even sourced us a table at a fantastic restaurant. As a single mum, she told us of the importance of Airbnb to her and her family.
We heard her frustrations of trying to make her property stand out and fill spare vacancies in an increasingly competitive Host market. We felt sad that more travellers were not stumbling across her listing to experience her incredible hospitality. We knew there had to be a way for more people to find listings like hers.
We believe that there should be an easier way for hard working Hosts to advertise themselves to a wider Airbnb community and get more bookings. It should be simple to promote your listing and any spare vacancies that may suddenly arise. We set out to change things for the better.
With this in mind, my brother and I decided to create a dedicated platform, Bedaboo, for Hosts to fill last minute vacancies by advertising special deals - either monetary or experience - to top rated Guests travelling at the last minute.
Any feedback or thoughts on the idea would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Sam
