Airbnb is an online marketplace and hospitality service, enabling people to lease
or rent short term lodging including vacation rentals, apartment rentals, homestays, hostel beds, or hotel rooms.It is an acronym of Air(mattress) Bed and Breakfast. It was founded by Joe Gebbia,Brian Chesky and Nathan Blecharzyk in 2009. The company does not own any
lodging; it is merely a broker and receives percentage service fees (commissions) from both guests and hosts in
conjunction with every booking. It has over 3,000,000 lodging listings in
65,000 cities and 191 countries, and the cost of lodging is set by the host.
Like all hospitality services, Airbnb is a form of collaborative consumption and sharing.
Registration and account creation is free. On each
booking, the company charges guests a 6%-12% guest services fee and charges
hosts a 3% host service fee..
Users
can search for lodging using a variety of filters including lodging type,
dates, location, and price. Before
booking, users must provide a valid email address, telephone number, or a scan
of a government-issued ID.
