Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We traveled late last year and I checked my cell for accommodation as we had not yet made a reservation. It was already dark and it was a 12 hour trip, so we wanted to get there as soon as possible to rest, so we found the best place to stay that was close to our destination and it was very easy to find, as there were several options. The accommodation was excellent and it was a reference for me, if I travel again to the same city, I intend to stay in the same place.

Pros

  • Lot of options
  • Great interface
  • Easy to use
  • Economic

Cons

  • Improved filters
  • Accommodation already booked.

Return on Investment

  • Hosting savings
  • Agile accommodation
  • If you haven't made the reservation, we'll be less worried because we have several safe options.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It simplifies booking accommodation for work trips. It also allows me to make a more personalized work travel experience and know that I can stay somewhere more cozy than a regular hotel. It also allows for an easier billing process because it is all online and I do not have to keep track of a million different pieces of paper from a hotel!

Pros

  • Billing procedure
  • Accommodation offerings (location)
  • Customer service

Cons

  • Take off accommodations that aren't really available

Return on Investment

  • Not relevant to my position

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Now that I am able to work predominantly remotely it has allowed for a lot of flexibility with where to work from. This has given me the opportunity to work a full day in a new location and then explore that city afterward. It's been such a nice resource to be able to plan for a productive workspace with others and travel at the same time.

Pros

  • Gives exclusive offers
  • Allows for me and my team to save money by alerting us with deals
  • Great expensive reporting tools

Cons

  • The booking process can be really lengthy
  • Sometimes Airbnb availability and options are limited
  • Occasionally need more privacy from hosts

Return on Investment

  • Allows for me to work with others and collaborate in new cities
  • Easy to use platform
  • Saves money

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It allows our travelers who are going on business to find reasonable, comfortable, and professional accommodations for their trips. We used to rely only on hotels for living accommodations for our business travel, but with Airbnb, we can find accommodations that are more suitable for those travelers who are staying for a week to multiple weeks at a time in a more comfortable manner.

Pros

  • Easy to Use.
  • Large Inventory.
  • Intuitive Search.

Cons

  • More refined searching.

Return on Investment

  • Improved Employee Satisfaction with Travel.
  • Decreased Housing Cost in some Instances.

Pros

  • Easy to use.
  • Nice interface.
  • Economical.

Cons

  • Too many listings.
  • A lot of filters (could be good to have preset saved filters that the traveler always wants).
  • Wishlists include listings that may be already booked, so I don't want to see those.

Return on Investment

  • Our ADR for Airbnb is around $100/night, which is really cheap.
  • It's helped build a team culture with groups who have used it to book large houses with multiple bedrooms.
  • It can give a "homey" feeling on the road.
