How to start hosting
Listing a home on Airbnb has never been easier or more customisable. You’re just a few steps away from earning money and reaching millions of global travellers.
Control how you host
Host whenever you want
There’s no minimum or mandatory time you have to host, so you can block off dates when you’re not available. You can also set rules about your availability, including: • Min/max nights a guest can stay • How far in the future guests can book • Advance notice needed before a booking
Set prices you feel good about
You get to choose your nightly prices, and our pricing tools can help you decide. You can also easily add custom details like: • Cleaning fees • Weekly discounts • Special prices for specific times of year
How you make money on Airbnb
With Airbnb, enjoy a painless payment system, low fees, and freedom over what you charge.
Simple, seamless payments
Get paid your way – by methods like PayPal, direct deposit, or others depending on your location.
List your space for free
You can advertise your home to millions of travellers with no strings attached – no sign-up charges or membership fees.
Receive a booking
Airbnb charges each guest before arrival to ensure you’ll always get paid on time when you host. You never have to handle money directly.
Get paid after check-in
Airbnb typically releases your money about 24 hours after the guest is scheduled to arrive to make sure check-in goes smoothly.
Quickly coordinate calendars
To avoid getting booked when you can’t host or have an existing reservation, you can connect your Airbnb calendar with your other calendars. This allows you to keep all calendars up to date automatically.
Establish rules for your space
To help set expectations, you can add House Rules that guests must agree to before booking. If a guest breaks a rule after they book, you can cancel the reservation without penalty.
Guidance to get you set up
As you’re creating your listing, we’ll ask you the questions that guests want to know about when booking. You’ll describe your home, providing details like what’s special about the space, including any quirks they can expect.
Tips along the way
If you’re having any trouble getting booked, we’ll provide you with advice on prices, settings, and other updates that can help you get reservations faster. And experienced hosts in our Community Centre can pitch in too.
Millions of global guests
Once you’ve completed your listing, guests from all over can find your home in search results. There are nearly 2 million Airbnb guests each night and we have tools to help you get reservations that work for you.
