Your questions,
answered

Airbnb guests are interested in all kinds of places. We have listings for tiny homes, cabins, treehouses, and more. Even a spare room can be a great place to stay.
Not at all—you control your calendar. You can host once a year, a few nights a month, or more often.
It’s up to you. Some Hosts prefer to message guests only at key moments—like sending a short note when they check in—while others also enjoy meeting their guests in person. You’ll find a style that works for you and your guests.
Getting the basics down goes a long way. Keep your place clean, respond to guests promptly, and provide necessary amenities, like fresh towels. Some Hosts like adding a personal touch, such as putting out fresh flowers or sharing a list of local places to explore—but it’s not required. Read on for more hosting tips
Airbnb typically collects a flat service fee of 3% of the reservation subtotal when you get paid. We also collect a fee from guests when they book. In many areas, Airbnb collects and pays sales and tourism taxes automatically on your behalf as well. Learn more about fees
