What is Airbnb?

It is the world's largest private travel rental service. Service statistics: 800,000 different accommodation options, 190 countries, 34,000 cities, over 17,000,000 guests who have booked accommodation in this service. The numbers are amazing!

The service operates in many countries and has local versions for each language. It is most convenient for Russians to use a completely Russified website.

What kind of accommodation can you find and book through Airbnb? Truly anything: these are apartments and rooms, houses and cottages, residential boats and bungalows, castles and even cave apartments!

Over the 6 years of its existence, it has become wildly popular and truly fashionable (the design alone is worth it!). This cannot but rejoice, because what more people know about Airbnb and use it, the more housing offers they have in their database. There is less and less left on the world map settlements, where accommodation cannot be found using this service. For example, I lived in Crimea, booking housing only through Airbnb - in each city I was able to find a suitable housing option. The only exception was the small village of Olenevka on Cape Tarkhankut - none of the owners there had yet mastered this service ( addition: after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, Airbnb no longer operates on the peninsula). What can we say about major cities- the number of interesting offers there is simply off the charts! Sometimes you can spend more than one hour at the computer, looking through option after option, where one is better than the other.

In general, the birthplace of Airbnb is the USA, California, San Francisco (who would doubt it?). But, as I already mentioned, the service works in many languages ​​(an impeccable Russian version of the site) and has several large representative offices in different cities(including in Moscow). So there will definitely not be any problems using the service due to language barriers, and in difficult situations the support service in the Russian Federation will help out.

My review of Airbnb.ru

I would certainly criticize this service, but there’s no reason... I use it regularly and am happy with everything. Indeed, nothing comes to mind that one could really find fault with.

Perhaps the only slippery point associated with the operation of this service is the risk of stumbling upon a bad owner who will try to do something bad. But this is a human factor - it cannot be completely eliminated, and the problem in this case lies not in the booking service itself, but in human nature. At the same time, the management and technical support of the site does everything to minimize the risks of both residents and owners (read more about this below).

It is not surprising that most of the reviews are positive and even enthusiastic responses. I even came across several examples of travel bloggers (who also wrote reviews about the Airbnb booking service) that after they first used this site, they completely stopped using hotels in their travels. Yes, in general, I myself now, with rare exceptions, live only in apartments found specifically on this housing booking service.

Booking apartments on Airbnb.ru

The procedure is this: you go to the website, find the right accommodation in the right city for the right dates, contact the owner, book, pay, come, live and be happy. That's it in short. But you can go into more detail:

Stage 1.

To begin with, it is best to register immediately - you can view housing options without registration, but of course you will need it to make a reservation. Take advantage of the current promotion and receive a $32 bonus upon registration - a discount on your first booking!

Get your account in order: add a photo, link to your Facebook page and phone number, write a few lines about yourself - all this is necessary to confirm that you are a real person and give future landlords the opportunity to get to know you.

Stage 2.

Now you can start looking for housing. To do this, enter the necessary information in the search box: destination, dates and number of guests. This will open a page with available options. On the left there will be a map with a mark of their territorial location, on the right - photographs of housing with its price, as well as search filters. You can limit the price range by setting a minimum and maximum amount, select an area, type of accommodation, and more.

By clicking on the offer you are interested in, you will see full description of this property, information about the owner, reviews of previous guests (if any). Read, compare and choose the best option.

Generally the device Airbnb service.ru is very convenient and intuitive (the developers are working diligently on this) - so you can easily navigate the site from the first minutes.

Once you've decided on your accommodation option, it's time to contact the host. Don’t immediately press the booking button, but to get started, it’s better to just write a message to the owner with a couple of lines about yourself, the dates of your trip and ask all the necessary questions. I do not recommend booking right away, because it is possible that the owner, for some reason, will not be ready to accept you on the dates you need, and then you will have to wait for a refund of the money frozen by the service for payment (the money will, of course, be returned in this case, but It’s better to avoid such nonsense, right?). Therefore, do not make sudden movements, but start the matter with a friendly conversation with the owner of the property :)

Stage 3.

When the owner has responded and given you the go-ahead, you can proceed to booking with payment. Payment can be made by card or via PayPal. Enter the required data and check the dates again.

As for calculating the cost of apartments and apartments booked through apartments, you need to take into account several points:

• The price may vary slightly from day to day due to currency fluctuations.
• The cost of housing can be different for different seasons: during the peak tourist season it is often higher (although it all depends on the owner, because he can set one rate for the whole year).
• The site charges its own service fee, the amount of which depends on the amount of the reservation - usually about 10-15% of it.
• Sometimes the host may also charge a cleaning fee.
• Sometimes the owner may take a deposit for the safety of the property - this is typical for respectable apartments and apartments, where there is something to spoil, destroy and break.

When you request to book an apartment on Airbnb, the host has 24 hours to approve your request; if they don't, your account will not be charged.

The service also has such a thing as instant booking (marked with a lightning bolt icon). Its essence is that the reservation is made automatically; confirmation of the owner of the property is not required (that is, he agrees to accept any guest on any dates). But still, I recommend first contacting the owner - anything can happen, it may turn out that for these dates the accommodation has already been reserved by someone else using another apartment rental service (in my airbnb experience this happened: everything ended well, but frayed my nerves).

Stage 4.

When the payment is made and the owner of the property has approved the reservation, the service will give you access to all information about the property: address, location on the map, contact details of the owner. Now you can go on a trip! By the way, a printout with information about the fact of booking an apartment through many consulates is accepted as a document for issuing a visa (my friends and I used a reservation from this service to obtain a Netherlands visa).

The owner will receive his money for rent one day after your check-in, provided that there are no complaints from you.

Do you want discount coupons? No problem! I once wrote an article with a list of them: “” - use it for your health (only not all of them will be relevant anymore - time flies, coupons age and die). If I find out about new ones, I’ll write about it on the site.

The undoubted advantages of Airbnb

1. Convenient usability - it is pleasant to be on the site and it is extremely easy to use. Searching for accommodation and booking it on Airbnb takes just minutes.
2. Opportunity to save on housing. Often, renting apartments and houses from private individuals turns out to be a more profitable option compared to staying in hotels and even hostels! No guys, I'm not joking! First of all, this applies to those cases when a company (3+ people) goes on a trip. When I went with my team (let me remind you, there were three of us), Airbnb gave the most profitable options in comparison with both hotels and hostels: in The Hague, we lived in an apartment in Chinatown for only 2,700 rubles per day and should have also found it through this service, but since we missed this option, we stayed for three nights in a hotel.
3. Interesting and original accommodation. The huge advantage of the service is that it offers a wide variety of accommodation options. You can even find fantastic options: from bungalows in Africa and tents in the Israeli desert to medieval castles and real palaces! In general, why live in boring and monotonous hotels if there is such a thing?
4. A chance to feel like a local. Living in a real apartment, and not a hotel room, means putting on the skin of a local resident, the surrounding space begins to feel different, and you join the rhythm of life of the residents of this city. The perspective of perception changes - from a tourist you turn into an observer who sees the life of the city from the inside. And this feeling is worth a lot.
5. Cashless payments. There is no need to carry money with you to pay for rented housing; all financial issues are resolved through reliable mediation.

Disadvantages of Airbnb and minimizing risks

This, of course, risks running into a fraudulent owner. For example, upon check-in, it may turn out that the owner will demand an additional payment for accommodation, even though everything has already been paid through the system on your part. The service does everything to avoid this. An important element of the service is a system of reviews, ratings and recommendations that both residents and owners can provide to each other after cooperation.

Almost all people are attentive to the reviews left about the owner and his apartment by previous residents - therefore, if some owner behaved badly in something, a dissatisfied tenant will simply give him a good “ah-ay-ay” in the form of an abusive response, and no one will go to such a master again. And vice versa, if a lot of positive reviews have been written for an apartment, then there is nothing to worry about and you can confidently book this accommodation on Airbnb.ru. So always pay attention to reviews and recommendations.

You can also complain about bad hosts to the service support service: fortunately, I didn’t have to use it, but I read that it works fine and solves problems, and, it seems, in case of any troubles, Airbnb also gives victims coupons for a 50 discount -$100 for the next booking of new apartments and apartments.

Another way to reduce risks is to choose hosts with a verified profile. Confirmation takes place via Facebook, linked to the number mobile phone and documents. It goes without saying that owners with the most confirmed profile are more reliable comrades than others.

It’s also a good idea to pay attention to how long ago the owner registered on the service (this is displayed in his profile): if he registered on the site quite recently, then this is not the most reliable option. You can also check the rental calendar for this property - if there are days reserved by someone else, then trust in this owner and his property becomes a little more. Of course, these verification options are very conditional and do not guarantee anything, but there is definitely a point in taking them into account.

Where to book an apartment yourself: the best English-language accommodation search sites for travelers

Previously, in order to rent an apartment in our city, we read advertisements on poles and in newspapers in the “For Rent” section. We asked friends if they had friends who were looking for lodgers. And renting a house abroad, before arriving in another country, seemed like an extremely difficult task. Thanks to the Internet, everything has changed - home rental sites around the world will help you.

Wherever you plan to go on vacation - be it Italy, Turkey or a dacha in the Moscow region, the main thing is to take a good mood with you. And then unpleasant little things, even if they exist, will not be able to ruin such a long-awaited vacation for you.

I'll tell you how to find it nice apartment and remove it without any problems. Here are five tips to help you avoid screwing up your rent.

Sergey Korol

traveler

Usually, newcomers to Air BBC choose a city and date, and then admire the beautiful photos of apartments from the search. They imagine how they will lie on a luxurious bed and how they will have breakfast on the balcony overlooking the park. As a result, they choose housing with the cutest photos. It's dangerous.

Perhaps, instead of a pleasant sleep in bed, you will have to get up early in the morning to catch the train to the center. And to have breakfast on the balcony, you will need to walk for an hour to buy groceries at the nearest supermarket.

We went to Helsinki for the festival and were impressed by the cute apartment with a sauna and grill on the balcony. It turned out that she was formally in another city, in Espoo. It's an hour's drive to Helsinki

To make your vacation enjoyable, look not only at the photographs, but also at the location of the apartments. Find out where the nearest stops are public transport and how often does he go? See what shops and cafes are nearby. If you're driving, find out where to park overnight.

For example, I want to rent an apartment in the city center, in the Punavuori area:

I find this place in Google Maps, and then I “walk” along the neighboring streets in street view mode.

I’m looking for parking, looking at the signs, as if I’m driving a virtual car and thinking about where to park it.

Oh, you can park your car here from 9 am to 7 pm - this is written on the yellow sign on the wall of the building, above the Canon. But you won’t be able to park overnight - in the morning there will be a fine waiting under the windshield wiper

Sometimes they deliberately rent an apartment not in the center in order to save on rent. Before you do this, calculate how much an hour of your vacation costs. This way you will see that an expensive apartment in the center will be more profitable.

Cost of renting an apartment in Paris

Rent an apartment for 3200 RUR per day

More expensive and closer

Rent an apartment in the center for 4800 RUR per day

Spend 2 hours every day getting to the center and back - 800 RUR of your time and another 20 € for two for bus tickets (≈1400 RUR)

More expensive and closer

You walk around the city on foot and rarely spend money on transport. The apartment costs as much as you pay for rent

Total - 5400 R

More expensive and closer

Both the renter and the owner can cancel a reservation at Air BBC.

If you rent an apartment and then change your mind, the service may fine you. This is determined by the types of cancellations. There are six of them: from soft to hard.

With soft cancellation, you can cancel your rental even five minutes before check-in - you will receive a full refund. With hard cancellation, you will get a 50% refund of your stay if you cancel your reservation a month in advance.

Cancellation rules are listed in the "Prices" section

Sometimes it happens that the owner of the apartment cancels the reservation. Often, owners rent out their apartments while traveling, and plans may change. This is a fairly rare case; it happened to me once.

If the host cancels your reservation, you will receive an email letting you know. I advise you to look through your mailbox the night before your trip. By the way, if the owner cancels the reservation, then Air BBC will give you a small consolation amount to your internal account.

Make lists directly on the site

Usually there are dozens and hundreds of apartment options at Air BBC. In order not to get confused in them and not to lose interesting ones, I advise you to keep a list.

The list is created directly on the website. Name it after the city you're going to.

Then add apartments to the list directly from the search - click on ❤:

So in half an hour you will have a dozen options to choose from. You can discuss them with family or friends. These apartments will no longer be lost in the search.

Check details in advance

Usually apartment owners send guests detailed instructions: how to get from the airport, how to find an apartment. Guests close the Air BBC tab, thinking that everything is ok.

What to pay attention to

The owner writes that the easiest way to get from Berlin Tegel Airport is by taxi for 20 € (1534 RUR). But you do not fly to Tegel, but to Schönefeld. Find out how to get there by public transport from Schönefeld and how much it will cost.

The owner asks to pick up the keys from the neighbor. She lives opposite, in apartment 20B. Ask your neighbor for her phone number and ask her to give her your number. Warn that you will be there between 12 and 14 o'clock - let him be at home at this time.

The owner offers to meet you from the train and take you home by car. He asks for only 15 € (1150 RUR). Google transport: it turns out that you can get from the station to your house by tram for 4 € (306 RUR). Politely decline.

The owner complains that there is now an excavator in his parking space and it will not be possible to leave the car at the house. Find out where the nearest free parking is. If there isn’t one, ask him to negotiate with your neighbors so that you park in someone else’s place.

Usually before a trip I look at the route from the stop to the house on Street View. This is how I find housing quickly and without errors.

This is our temporary home in Berlin. If you walk around Street View, you can see a huge park full of weed dealers

I also make sure to write down the owner’s phone number and take screenshots of Google Maps. I can use the screenshots to get to the place; if I get lost, in extreme cases, I’ll call you by phone.

You might think I'm paranoid. However, during all this time I have had almost no unpleasant moments with checking into Air BBC.

Include the skeptic

Usually people think the apartment is nice in advance. Beautiful photos, view outside the window. By default, I consider any housing suspicious.

When I look at an apartment, I always try to find a flaw in it. Why didn't you take a photo of the bathroom? Where will all the things go from the table and closet? Why does the baby's crib get wet in the rain on the balcony?

So I found a nice apartment in Riga:

But if you scroll down to the photo of the house itself, it becomes a little scary. Hut on chicken legs for 2600 RUR per day!

If you have any doubts about the apartment, it is better to clarify them with the owner in advance. If you can’t clarify, don’t shoot.

I avoid apartments that have too many household items. Typically, such apartments are found among those who are leaving for several weeks. You will be greeted by cabinets filled with things and a bathroom shelf where there is nowhere to even put toothpaste. It’s a strange feeling: you seem to have paid a lot of money, but it’s like you’re living as a guest.

This apartment in Rome is obviously residential. Everywhere there are paintings, books and things of the owners

Don't forget about cleaning. Typically, Air BBC shows the cost of a night's stay in the search. However, in addition to this amount, an additional cleaning fee will be charged. The money for cleaning goes to the owner of the apartment, so sometimes he cheats: he reduces the cost of rent, but charges a lot for cleaning. Look at this amount when choosing an apartment. The cost of cleaning should not exceed one night in the apartment.

For three nights in a Tokyo apartment, you expect to pay 9,600 RUR, but you will pay more than 12 thousand. They will additionally charge 2200 RUR for cleaning and another 1500 RUR for the Air BBC commission.

How to contact outside of Air BBC. The service stops all attempts to exchange contacts with the owners of apartments that you have not rented. You won’t be able to leave your phone number or a link to your social network account - Air BBC will hide this for the recipient of the message.

To contact the owner, some distort the words: Fαсၔbo0к or Inƽαrαm. Or they write numbers in letters: plus seven nine two five...

Please do not try to bypass Air BBC to rent an apartment. The owner will complain, you will be blocked, or something else will happen:

We have selected for you the most useful life hacks for searching and booking cheap accommodation. So let's get started.

Rent a room instead of an apartment

If your budget is limited, instead of separate apartments, you can rent a room in an apartment with the owner. This way you will make new pleasant acquaintances and be able to learn much more interesting details about the city by closely communicating with the locals. It is especially good to use this method of booking in cities that you are visiting for the second or third time.

• Firstly, the room will cost you less.
• Secondly, communication with the owners of the apartment will solve many everyday issues: you will have someone to ask about the nearest pharmacy/ATM, and maybe you can have a drink together in a nearby bar. Carefully read apartment descriptions and user profiles - it usually indicates whether the owner wants to spend time with guests or not. To maintain your privacy, check whether the room is locked.

Prepayment

The company works on a 100% prepayment basis, but the owner of the apartment will receive your money only the next day after your arrival date. During this time you will be able to look around, understand whether you like the housing, whether everything corresponds to the description.

Airbnb will charge you full payment! You don't have to pay anyone anything extra! To avoid misunderstandings, before paying, talk to the owner of the apartment via correspondence on the website, discuss the final amount and talk again about how many people there will be. Discuss all the conditions with him and make sure that you understand each other.

If problems arise, Airbnb is the best short terms will find you an apartment to replace this one.

The service charges commission in the amount from six to 12% of the booking amount. The higher the booking amount, the lower the Airbnb service fee. It would be hard to call this a minus, because... It is clear that the company's employees must receive a salary and have the means to develop this wonderful resource.

At the end of the booking, you will immediately see the full amount, which includes all fees and the commission of the portal itself.

Pay for your reservation only through the site's payment system. Do not agree to transfer money to the owner’s personal account, because... In this case, Airbnb will not be able to help you if problems arise.

Save when you register

It is better to register your account on Airbnb using the email address that you actively use. You won’t receive any unnecessary mailings, but you won’t miss any important emails from the service. For example, if you contact support, all responses will be sent by email; you will not see them in your personal account on the website.

Another nice functionality of the site is SMS messaging. Your phone will receive replies from the hosts, even if you do not have access to the Internet. This is very convenient, so we recommend that you also include your real phone number.

Also upon first registration you can save at least $21 on your first booking! by using either the banner below

The hostel is not suitable for those traveling as a couple. Because renting the cheapest two beds in a room with many beds costs more than renting one separate room in the apartment.

Find an apartment/room for one person through the search, and then add a second guest in the selected option. Please note that rooms for two or three guests may be more profitable even than those listed in the category for singles.

Search filters greatly facilitate the choice of housing: Internet, parking, the possibility of holding events, smoking - this is not a complete list of criteria by which you can choose suitable options. In addition, the ability to search by keywords has been implemented, which allows you to find apartments with an office/workplace/near key locations. Convenient when you need housing solely for work or business negotiations; Choosing accommodation based on a map of the area will allow you to stay exactly next to the office of the desired company.

The issuance of housing in the search depends on many factors, including profile data and the specifics of the trip.

Look for options with verified/verified photos

In general, all listings on Airbnb must contain photographs of real apartments. But if in doubt, look for apartments with the “ Verified photo” in the photo. Professional Airbnb photographers have definitely visited this apartment. The Airbnb sign in the top right corner of the photo means that the photos were uploaded to the site by the host. A sign Verified Photo indicates that an Airbnb photographer was in this place and did a photo shoot. That is, the photo exactly corresponds to reality.

Instant booking

If you have a critical situation and need to book an apartment one day in advance, look for ads with a lightning bolt in the price. Such apartments do not require confirmation from the owner; they can be booked instantly.

Try to find a common language and establish friendly relations. In this case, you can ask for a discount in personal correspondence. Apartment owners often agree to this, especially if you come on vacation with a large group, or choose their apartment for the second time.

Response rate

If you want quick and productive communication with apartment owners, pay attention to how often the owner responds to requests. Pay attention to the number that appears under the owner's photo in the ad. " Response rate" is an indicator that indicates how often the owner of the apartment responds to requests. Hosts with this indicator above 90% respond as quickly as possible.

Airbnb Reviews

Travelers who have lived in this place write honestly about their time there. However, the absence of any reviews is not a cause for concern. Just ask the owner all the questions that are most important to you so that you understand exactly where you will be living. In addition, an apartment that currently has few reviews may be cheaper, or the owner has just put it up for rent and there are no guests yet. Travelers also publish reviews about their hosts - you can find out in advance their character and manner of communicating with guests.

Free local guide

Many Airbnb hosts prepare a travel guide to help you navigate the city and learn about attractions. And also, you can just ask them personally where to go, where to eat, they will recommend you places that will definitely be much more interesting than tourist ones.

It is better to communicate with the owner only on Airbnb. Because in case of any claims from one of the parties, it can be used as evidence.

Discuss in advance the standard set of questions: how the keys will be handed over, whether there is Wi-Fi in the apartment, adapters for sockets, a hair dryer, pets, is it possible to use the kitchen, where is the nearest store/pharmacy, how quickly and what transport can you use to get there? to the city center and so on.

Outskirts are usually cheaper

It is not necessary to rent housing in the city center, or in tourist areas. You can try to live on the outskirts. Firstly, housing in non-tourist areas is much cheaper, and secondly, this way you can get to know the real city and see it through its eyes local residents. The main thing is to clarify in advance which areas are considered dangerous (you definitely shouldn’t settle in them).

The cost of the same apartment may vary depending on the rental period. Often, renting for a month is cheaper than renting for two weeks, and then another two weeks. Because the hosts offer discounts for long bookings. Therefore, if you want to spend 25 days in a certain city, consider whether it might be worth staying 30 days and thus saving quite an impressive amount.

Follow your friends' travels

You can check the “Social Connections” feature in your search to keep track of where your friends have already stayed and what they liked.

Each property listed on the Airbnb platform is assigned “trust points.” Properties with a low score are automatically flagged for closer inspection, helping to track money laundering and other forms of fraud. Don’t forget to study your profile, this will allow you to avoid communicating with “random” people.

When you move into an apartment, together with the owner, look at everything carefully and point out broken things, if any. Perhaps one of the previous tenants spoiled something, but the landlord did not notice and will blame you in the future.

Some owners are worried about their property and usually ask for a small security deposit. After you leave your place of residence, the deposit is returned to the card (provided that you left the apartment intact). The return period for the card is determined by your bank. To avoid controversial issues (if the owner tries to accuse you of damaging property), when moving out of the apartment, it would not hurt to invite the owner to make a walk-through or photograph the premises himself.

As a rule, a deposit is set for those apartments that are quite expensive and have expensive furniture. If you rent cheap housing, most likely there will be no such deposit.

Cancellation of a reservation by you or the host

Please note that some hosts install minimum booking period, for example, three days. And also keep in mind that Airbnb provides an option to cancel a reservation, but each landlord chooses flexible, moderate or strict cancellation conditions.

The owner can also cancel reservation. The site provides fines for hosts, but force majeure events happen not only to guests, so you should treat such situations with understanding. As a rule, in the host’s profile there will be a note that he once canceled a paid reservation for someone. It happened to us a couple of times when the owner wanted to cancel the reservation, but asked us to do it ourselves; in the end, he would not have paid the fines, and we would have had to re-rent the apartment at double the cost, since the cancellation was a month before the start of the high season. As a result, when contacting the support service, the service independently called the owner back and insisted on changing the apartment at the owner’s expense.

Today it has become a reality to rent a luxury apartment or a modest apartment anywhere in the world. It is enough to go to a desktop computer, mobile device with access to the Virtual Network, go online, visit Airbnb official website and solve the problem of finding housing.
