If you like to travel and have also ever looked for accommodation yourself, the term Airbnb should certainly have crossed your path. But what exactly is Airbnb? What options does the online platform offer you?

How Airbnb

Airbnb is a global online community that helps its users rent out accommodations or rent them. You can also communicate with other users through Airbnb, for example, to obtain information about a potential accommodation. Currently, Airbnb has seven million accommodation options offered. Accordingly, nowadays you can get accommodation through Airbnb in over 220 different countries. In total, there have already been over 500 million guest arrivals since the platform was launched. If you want to use Airbnb to find accommodation or rent out accommodation for travelers yourself, Airbnb offers you various options.

• You can register for free on the Airbnb website.
• As a so-called guest, you can search for very specific accommodation by specifying the location, time and number of guests. For this you have a search box on the home page, where you can enter various criteria.
• If you are a host, you can rent available living space to others. Hierzu müssen Sie über die Webseite oben rechts auf „Gastgeber werden“ klicken.
• Gäste und Gastgeber können untereinander kommunizieren und ihre Bewertungen abgeben, um sich so über Erfahrungen in einer bestimmten Unterkunft oder über das Verhalten von Gästen in der Mietunterkunft auszutauschen.
• Durch Empfehlungen werden diejenigen Gastgeber ausgezeichnet, die eine gut bewertete Unterkunft anbieten.
