The basics

Learn about Airbnb’s booking process, how to confirm your reservation, special offers direct from a Host, and more.

Reservations can be booked up to 2 years in advance, though availability depends on the Host.

Airbnb reservations for personal travel need to be booked by the person who's going to stay at the listing.

We encourage all guests to complete their bookings through Airbnb before meeting in person to ensure their safety and privacy.

Split stays is a feature that allows you to split longer stays between two different listings.

Find stays for 28 nights or more on Airbnb.

From sharing your story in your bio section to leaving honest reviews, connecting with other members of our community is key to traveling with us.

Every booking comes with AirCover for guests. If there’s a serious issue with your Airbnb that your Host can't resolve, we’ll help you find a similar place, depending on availability at comparable pricing, or give you a full or partial refund.

AirCover for guests is different from travel or reservation insurance. AirCover for guests is provided for free with every booking, while travel insurance (for guests in the US, EU, and UK) or reservation insurance (for guests in FR) can be purchased separately during checkout.

Identity verification, reservation screening, payment issues, and listing availability are some reasons why you might not be able to complete a reservation.
