Airbnb

Last year, we expanded Airbnb beyond homes with the launch of Airbnb Experiences and Airbnb Services. For the first time, you could book a place to stay, explore a city with a local, and have a private chef cook you dinner, all on Airbnb. Since then, millions of people around the world have done exactly that. This summer, we're going further. We're adding new categories of services to make every part of your trip easier, and new experiences you can only find on Airbnb — including exclusive access to the FIFA World Cup 2026. We're also bringing boutique and independent hotels to Airbnb. And we're upgrading the app with AI-powered tools to help you find the perfect place to stay, plan your trip, and get help the moment you need it. “Travel shouldn’t just be convenient. It should be meaningful. The best trips help you explore, learn, and come home a little different than when you left. That’s what we’re building at Airbnb. And this summer, we’re giving people even more ways to do it — from incredible places to stay and boutique hotels that feel like Airbnb, to unforgettable World Cup experiences and services that make your trip easier,” said Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of Airbnb. New Airbnb Services to make every part of the trip easier A great stay starts before you check in. That's why we're adding new services for every part of your trip — from the moment you land to the moment you leave. This is just the beginning of new services guests can book on Airbnb this year. Grocery delivery - Have groceries waiting at your Airbnb when you arrive, or order them any time during your trip. In select cities, hosts can even receive the order and pre-stock your home before you check in. Airbnb guests get $0 delivery and $10 off an order of $50 or more. Available in over 25 US cities in partnership with Instacart. Airport pickups - Book a private car service to and from your Airbnb, through Welcome Pickups. Your driver tracks your flight and meets you curbside when you arrive, and Airbnb guests get 20% off every ride. Now available in over 160 cities worldwide. Luggage storage - Store your bags before check-in or after checkout through our partnership with Bounce. View nearby drop-off locations in the app, and see exactly how far they are from your listing. Airbnb guests get 15% off and access to over 15,000 locations in 175 cities. Car rentals - Nearly a quarter of Airbnb guests rent a car during their stay. Starting this summer, you can discover rental cars directly in the app. We’ll show vehicles near your listing and suggest the right car for your group. The first time you rent a car on Airbnb, you'll get 20% credit back toward your next stay, experience, or select services. Experiences you can only get on Airbnb Guests love Airbnb Experiences, rating them 4.93 out of 5 stars on average. This summer, we're adding thousands more experiences led by local experts across the categories travelers want most: landmarks, food culture, and events. Landmarks, the Airbnb way - More than 75% of travelers visit a landmark when they travel to a new city. Now you can see the world's most famous places with local experts who know them inside out. We now have more than 3,000 landmark experiences — from the Tower of London to the Tokyo Skytree and the Taj Mahal. Food culture - We’re offering more than 2,500 food culture experiences that give you behind-the-scenes access to the chefs, markets, and food that define a place. Through partnerships with Chef's Table and Grand Central Market, you can join Chef Gianfranco Pascucci of the Michelin-starred Pascucci al Porticciolo in Rome for a 6-course food and wine pairing experience, or mix cocktails at Paris's De Vie, one of the world's best bars. FIFA World Cup 2026 - We're offering once-in-a-lifetime FIFA World Cup experiences across six host cities. Join World Cup Champions Abby Wambach and Julie Foudy for an intimate watch party in LA as the USA takes on Australia. Or step onto the pitch to train with Argentine football icon and former manager of Inter Miami, Javier Mascherano. Boutique and independent hotels This summer, we’re bringing thousands of boutique and independent hotels to Airbnb. Guests can find amazing hotels in 20 top destinations around the world — including New York, Paris, London, Madrid, Rome, and Singapore — with more cities to come throughout the year. Each hotel is selected for its neighborhood location, design, and hospitality. Hotels that feel like Airbnb - Discover and book hotels in some of the world's best neighborhoods. Each property is selected by Airbnb, with no big chains. Price match guarantee - Find a lower price for the same hotel anywhere else, and we'll give you the difference as Airbnb credit. Book a hotel, get up to 15% credit on Airbnb - Book a featured hotel and you can receive up to 15% credit toward your next Airbnb home. Available across major cities worldwide today, with more coming soon. New ways to discover, plan, and travel on Airbnb The moment you open the app, you'll find everything on the new homepage. We've also made it easier to discover the perfect place to stay, plan trips with friends and family, and get help the moment you need it. AI review highlights - Airbnb has over one billion guest and host reviews. Now you don't have to read through them all before booking. Our models synthesize reviews for each listing and highlight things you care about the most including location, amenities, family-friendliness and more. AI-powered comparison - Save homes to your wishlist, and we’ll help you choose the right one for your trip. A new comparison view provides an AI-generated summary for each home, with context about the location, best amenities, and more. Available later this year. Shared itinerary - We’re making it easy to plan a trip with your group. A new map in the Trips tab shows your reservations alongside nearby restaurants, experiences, and things to do — with travel times from your stay. Save the places you want to visit, or add them directly to your shared itinerary so everyone can plan together. Connections & travel map - The best travel recommendations come from people you trust. Add friends and family as connections, then use the new travel map to see where they've been on Airbnb and where they're going next. Tap any trip to see what they booked and the reviews they left. You can even message your connections directly for tips. Available later this summer. AI-powered customer support, available worldwide - If you need help along the way, our AI assistant is rated the best AI support assistant in travel. Now available in 11 languages, the assistant knows the details of your trip and includes interactive cards that let you solve issues right in the chat. Later this year, we're extending the AI assistant to voice so you can get quick answers when you call. New Airbnb Services, Airbnb Experiences, and boutique hotels are available across select countries worldwide today, with car rentals, the new homepage, shared itinerary, and additional app features rolling out later this summer.
