Book with your own account

You can actually use any account to make a reservation, but it's best to use your own account for easy communication with the host. In addition, the application also has the function to save the list of recently viewed hotels for convenience.

Understand your needs

Understand what your needs are, choose a room near a business center, bus station, near the market, near a famous tourist destination, or rent an apartment, a private room, a single room or a double room. When you know those criteria, it is easy to find a room that suits your needs.

Read reviews of previous guests

By diligently reading the reviews of previous guests, you will have a more objective view of the room you are planning to book. You can totally trust these comments, because Airbnb's reporting regime of violations is very flexible, every person who creates an account must have authentication, so it is rare to use "virtual nick" to comment ". khong ".

Talk to the host before booking

Should discuss with the landlord to answer some questions, help the two sides understand each other better before transferring money to book. This is very important if you choose to live with the landlord.

Carefully stitch each one

This rental service will be a little more confusing when booking a hotel, before checking in you should carefully photograph the room, after moving should also take pictures again. Avoid having your landlord complain to Airbnb about your damage to your furniture, resulting in an extra charge.

During booking and accommodation, if you encounter any problems, please contact the Airbnb management. It is best to carefully check the following before making a reservation:

• Photos, comfortable apartments.
• Review (comments and reviews of previous guests).
• Location of the apartment on the map compared to the attractions, tourism.
• Does the cost include service charge, tax, cleaning fee after returning to the landlord?
• Utilities and services near the apartment (near the train station, downtown, fair ...).
• Is the date / cancellation policy flexible and appropriate?
• Time to receive and pay the apartment, note to book flights, train tickets.

Do not ask redundant questions

When talking with the landlord need to avoid asking redundant questions such as: How much is the room? Is there a kitchen? because that information is already in the information form. Asking redundant questions like this will cause both parties to waste time, even making the landlord uncomfortable leading to a flat out rejection.

Should not be too perfectionist

Although it is guaranteed by strict terms, there are still some risks that are not too serious, such as the house is worse than the picture, the location is not as described, the facilities are older so it should be gladly accepted.

Renting a whole family is cheaper than 1 room

Always renting a whole house will be cheaper than 1 room is natural, if you invite a group of people, you should look for a fully enclosed apartment on Airbnb, most landlords do not charge extra when staying in too many people. Renting a room like that, dividing up the head will be very cheap, saving a lot of costs.

Similar to Uber , Airbnb also gives both homeowners and guests to rate each other after each rental. Therefore, should pay attention to his words and actions to avoid bad reviews, next time it is difficult to book a room.

Wish you have a happy trip!
