Was hoping to find more practical information, like I book a reservation. Be accepted. Than what ? do I meet up with the person to get a key ? does he comes over to the place to hand me key over? Totally new with this
@@bruggetje Hi there! Some places have an instant book, where you will be accepted right away. Others, you have to wait for the approval of the host. In most descriptions it will tell you how to get the key. However, nowadays, most Airbnbs have lockboxes. So the host will give you the code a couple of days before your arrival and you can get the key from the lockbox when you arrive. But it all depends on the host. Also, once you are booked, the host will send you a message with all the details on how to get the key and all the hours rules etc. If you have any questions or things are unclear with their directions and instructions you can always contact the host via Airbnb or their preferred method of contact. I’ve even had to call a host once because I couldn’t find the house and they drove in front of me to help me find it. I hope this helps. 💕
I recently discovered that Air BnB has Air BnB Experiences. I am a solo traveler and Certified Introvert. Although I love traveling alone, I like joining a group for an activity so that I’m not the only person talking to the host (as an introvert, this can be draining to me). Air BnB allows you to see how many other people have booked the same experience, on the same day at the same time. This way, I know whether I’m going to be the only person and can be relieved of holding the entire conversation with the host. I ❤️ it!!!
Hi La Toya! Yes! Airbnb Experiences is great! I'm so glad they have that feature. This is so true. Yes, I can imagine as an introvert how important having that information would be. Especially being able to know exactly how many people are going to be doing the experience. That way you can fully prepare. So great! Love that! 💕
Great video! The first thing I check on a listing is whether there are windows visible in the photos. Some hosts try to hide the fact that their space is in a basement unit where there is only 1 or 2 windows and they are placed high and small on a wall. Also, if the image shows weird room proportions or angled walls or furniture, or it seems dark or slightly dingy, don’t think to yourself “oh nbd, it’s probably just the camera”. It’s not! People spend hours taking and selecting the best photos for renting out their property, so what you see is the very best image they came up with. If it’s not to your standard, don’t book it! Thank you so much for your content.
This video was super helpful! I’ve never booked an AirBnB before and didn’t know the actual location address is hidden until closer to your stay, but the map is helpful to see the area so you’re not booking completely on the dark. Thank you!! 🙏🏽😊
Sent you and email regarding this amazing resource. Look forward to hearing back. Great video, really well produced. Very informative. Love the prospective.❤
I've never used airbnb but they say where I'm going it's a better option so I'm checking it out. Feeling a little daunted by it though so this video helps me get started. Thanks!
Once you get the hang of it it’s not too bad. Also try cross referencing prices with hotels because you just never know. I hope you find the right place. 💕Safe travels!
You are so brave. I'm more hotel, maybe chain hotels at that. I don't think that I could sleep well being in a room with others or people throughout the house. And drum roll......... I'm doing another solo to the Baltimore harbor. I can't believe that I've gone from not wanting to travel by myself to really liking it. Oh, is this the same as a hostel? Thank you for the information
Hahaha I totally get it Melanie! It def isn’t for everyone. It’s a little different from a hostel, although some hostels have bookings on Airbnb too. Yay!! 🎉🎉Omg, look at you! Get itttttt!!! I am so happy for you! Soon, I’ll need to have you on the channel to share your thoughts and experiences. Haha 😂😉😉#jokingbutnotreally
@@KRodCollective 😂. You're the pro. I haven't gone out of the country yet, but when I get that under my belt, I'll be more than happy to throw my 2 cents in.
Thank you! Most do now. But depending on the stay, some hosts might still prefer to meet you in person and show you around. But it's rare nowadays, I haven't had that in a while. 💕
Hello! This was a great video, thanks for sharing. My only question was how do you only book places where you will rent out the entire space instead of renting a room?
Hi there! Once you’re on the site, there should be section that says “Type of place.” In that section you can change it to room or entire home. Might say “homes” now, not too sure. Hope this helps!! 💕
Hi!! I plan on using airbnb one day, but I'm pretty nervous on it. Ive heard that when you reserve a place, others can also reseve a spot during your time as well? I'd rather not stay with a stranger if this is true. And if it is true, how can i avoid those spots?
Hi there! It depends on the Airbnb. If you’re booking a shared room, it will be a room in an apartment or home. Sometimes the person living there is also there (in a separate room) and sometimes there are other travelers. If you book an entire place, it should just be you. If you’re feeling really nervous about them, send a message to the host. Also, don’t forget to check hotel prices as well because sometimes Airbnb isn’t worth it. Hope this helps! 💕
You can actually zoom in on the ABNB map an it will tell you the address or really lot number an usually if you put the street name in on Google maps with the lot number it will show you a street view so dont end up renting a lemon 🍋
@@KRodCollective very welcome 🤗 you really come across some slum places or in the "hood" an I would've hated to drive clear across the country to end up paying for a dump
I stayed at my first bnb last year. A room in someone's house. I'm not really a people person so I was kinda nervous about the idea. It worked out great tho. I did speak to owners several times and they were great. Other than that they left me alone and I didn't bother them.
Great video! My question is, at the top where you can select a category like "A-frame", "Beachfront", "Amazing view" etc. I do not have the option as I see in your video for "All Homes". How can I see all?
Would you recommend booking a resort through Airbnb? Because I know Airbnb prices are cheaper than booking through the actual resort but I don’t know how that would work out- with checkin and all. Any tips would be greatly appreciated:)
I usually bring either a door stopper or deadbolt. And I lock my stuff inside my suitcase. It's true that someone can just take the suitcase altogether but there are only so many options. 💕
Quick question: once you book and add your payment, it says the host will confirm within 24 hours. Does this mean I will receive an email, or will the host contact me the next day for confirmation? How can I view the confirmation? What if I'm denied? Do I need to request a refund immediately? What happens next?
Yes! You’ll get an email telling you you’ve been confirmed and it should have the address and house rules. I’m pretty sure if you’re denied, you won’t be charged for anything but I’m not positive on that one. Hope this helps! 💕
Hmm, I think negotiation only works when you’re extending your stay or taking it off the app like in one of the scenarios I mentioned. Other than that, it’s a set price. 💕
Good morning, am so sorry it’s coming too late , I live in Germany 🇩🇪 I would like to visit London in December for 2 days alone would you please help me out please 🙏🏾
Yes, if you want to be verified. I’ve heard that before, I’m not sure what the deal is with that. My apologies, I know that’s not super helpful in those cases.
@@KRodCollective its only that my husband went outside the country booked with airNBS,he took the photos how the place was but on the sitting room i noted their was ladies shoes,so when i asked him he told me he got them at that place.
@@carlmaina4598should be clean, Ive had fair share of stay at air b n bs and there hasnt been any clothes by guests. Unless in closets which are usually locked. Az, cal, florida, Ny ... and never seen shoes, sorry..
I just Made an account and it won’t let key book a reservation for potential parties and my spouse has an account and allowed us to book and now it’s saying the same this all of a sudden couldn’t book due to potential parties and we did not break any rules what so ever has great reviews and when I called air bnb support they said our account is fine? And still wouldn’t let us book on the app what is going on I really need help!!!
Hi Charisma! I'm sorry for my late response. This is so weird! Someone also sent me a similar message on IG about this. Were you able to figure it out? I need to do some research on this because it seems to be happening to new users.
