Is your Property a Good Fit for AIRBNB? Here are AIRBNB’s Listing Criteria

Dear Readers,

AIRBNB is probably the most unique Online Travel Portal in the world because of its focus towards offering esoteric / boutique / unique accommodation experiences to its clients in the form of small owner driven properties offering high standards of personalised services. DJUBO is a proud official API Integration partner of AIRBNB and amongst the first ones in the world to be integrated with AIRBNB as a channel manager partner.

As a part of our initiative to spread more awareness among our client hotels about AIRBNB, here is a list of parameters put together by us which will help hotels/guest houses/bed and breakfasts determine if they are suitable for AIRBNB or not.

We have found that AIRBNB welcomes listings hosted by professional hospitality providers as long as:

• They offer unique spaces and personal hospitality to the Airbnb community.
• Some of the qualities we look for in these listings include
• Access to common gathering spaces and/or events
• Guest rooms with personal touches that are individually unique and/or local in design
• Guest rooms and common spaces that incorporate local influences
• Unique design characteristics which set the property apart from others
• High-quality photography We also look for hosts who provide personal hospitality to guests by offering things like:
• Locally relevant or unique amenities (ex: Local food or beverage, unique features)
• Local maps with personalized recommendations (ex: Not a local tourist bureau map with ads)
• Local tours (ex: Neighbourhood walking tours)
• An owner or manager that is available on property full-time

Some examples of spaces that we have found a good fit for Airbnb include:

• Bed & breakfasts
• Boutique hotels
• Nature/eco lodge
• Timeshare
• Serviced apartment
• Hostels
• Minsu (Taiwan)
• Ryokan (Japan)
• Pension (Korea)
• Heritage hotel (India)

So if you are looking for not just listing but being successful on AIRBNB, you should ensure that your property profile matches the above.
