Airbnb is making a bigger push into private room rentals.
Airbnb now provides ‘host passports’ that give you more information about who you’re staying with and what their home is like.Airbnb is making a bigger push into Rooms, the option that lets you rent a private room in someone’s home. Inposted on Wednesday, the platform announced that it’s launching a dedicated Rooms category, where it will now provide more details about the host you’re staying with on each listing.
On Airbnb’s website and app, you can now select the Rooms tab to see a list of all the available rooms for rent in the location you want to stay. Each listing has a readily available “host passport” in its bottom-left corner with the host’s photo.
Host passports also tell you whether a host has confirmed their identity, email address, and phone number with Airbnb. The company notes that every Room listing will contain information about whether the bedroom door has a lock, if bathrooms are shared or private, and whether you’ll be staying with anyone else in the home besides the host.
Airbnb is making the change in response to the “current economic environment” and is marketing Rooms as a cheaper way to travel. The company says that over 80 percent of private rooms cost under $100 per night, while the average room is priced at around $67 per night. There are currently around 1 million private bedrooms available in the Rooms tab, according to Airbnb.
