What is Airbnb for Work travel programme? Its obv a 3rd party booking auth by Airbnb

[Simon364]

I have a request for booking which is a third party booking but is obviously sanctioned by Airbnb

Does anyone know how this works? Can the guest leave a review? Can i review the guest. How do I know about the guest's identity. It seems that 3rd party bookings are not supported by Airbnb except when they are.

I am not too keen on this as third party bookings seem to lead to problems.

Does anyone have any experience or advice? Many thanks

Hi @Simon364 

You've already linked to the information about how Airbnb at Work operates but you can also look on the Airbnb Help website.

I have used it and no it's not the same as third party bookings is it? as both the company and its workers have access to the listing, you can see who the worker is and you are covered by Aircover (for what is worth) 

 can you not access information about the worker on the booking ? 

and yes of course they can leave a review just as an other host or guest can .

@Helen3 The guest has not put any information at all about himself .

"Matthew hasn’t updated their profile yet

Matthew’s interests, fun facts and other highlights will show up here once they’ve added some."

I am not sure who is actually making the booking and who is responsible for the booking. The message appears to come from the guest "Matthew" but it is written in third party from the Airbnb for work "Cally"

Hi @Simon364 😊, 

Thank you for asking this question here!

I'm glad you had a chance to speak with our host Helen.

What did you decide regarding the booking? Are you planning to accept it?

Don't hesitate to let me know if you need more help!
