AIRBNB FEATURES

• Wide Selection. 

Airbnb hosts list many different kinds of properties, from single rooms, apartments, and houses to houseboats and even castles.

• Free Listings. 

Hosts don't have to pay to list their properties. Listings can include written descriptions, photos with captions, and a user profile in which potential guests can get to know a bit about the hosts.

• Hosts Can Set Their Own Price. 

It's up to each host to decide how much to charge per night, per week, or per month.

• Customizable Searches. 

Guests can search the Airbnb database—not only by date and location, but by price, type of property, amenities, and the language of the host—and add keywords to help narrow their search.

• Additional Services.

Airbnb offerings also include experiences and restaurants. People searching by location will see a list of experiences, such as classes and sightseeing, offered by local Airbnb hosts.

• Protections for Guests and Hosts. 

Airbnb holds each guest's payment for 24 hours after check-in before releasing the funds to the host.
