Frequently Asked Questions(6)
How should I decline a discount request on Airbnb?
Acknowledge the request politely, briefly explain your pricing reflects cleaning costs, quality amenities, and high-season demand, and offer genuine value-adds instead (early check-in, late checkout, or a local guide). Our soft-decline template is friendly but firm and converts browsers into bookers without lowering your rate.
Should I offer long-stay discounts on Airbnb?
Long-stay discounts (10–20% off for 7+ nights) reduce vacancy, lower turnover costs, and generate consistent revenue. Make the offer proactively if a guest expresses interest in extending their stay. Our long-stay discount template frames the offer around value while clearly stating the minimum stay and discount percentage.
How do I quote a corporate or business rate on Airbnb?
Business travellers value reliability, fast WiFi, and flexibility over the lowest price. Your quote should emphasise workspace, high-speed internet, flexible check-in, and any business amenities. Our business rate quote template positions your property as a premium work-and-stay option.
