About Us

Airbnb is a global platform that connects travelers with hosts offering unique stays and experiences beyond traditional hotels. Founded in 2008, it allows people to book whole homes, apartments, private rooms, and distinctive accommodations like cabins, tiny houses, or treehouses. Guests can also explore experiences, from local tours and food tastings to classes and outdoor adventures, creating more personalized and authentic travel.

Each Airbnb listing includes photos, detailed descriptions, amenities, house rules, and guest reviews, helping travelers find the right fit for their stay. The platform offers secure payments, identity verification, direct messaging between guests and hosts, and customer support to ensure safety and peace of mind.

For hosts, Airbnb provides tools to list properties, manage pricing, adjust availability, and handle bookings. Hosting can generate income based on location, property type, and demand, with Airbnb charging a small service fee for use of the platform.

Airbnb emphasizes trust and community through verified profiles, transparent reviews, and safety features, while giving travelers more choice and flexibility. Whether for a short getaway, long-term stay, or unique experience, Airbnb makes travel more accessible, connected, and memorable.
