Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When I travel with Airbnb I can be self-reliant- like cooking for ourselves rather than eating out every night. You feel like part of the community rather than a visitor. Also, this helps you to connect with business-minded people and make new colleagues.

Pros

  • Offer new ways to travel and connect
  • Find homes and boutique hotels known for great hospitality and 5-star ratings from other business travelers.
  • It has work ready places to stay
  • It also brings teams together with experiences

Cons

  • Navigation while using maps can be improved
  • New ways where I can customize my stay as per my need
  • Alteration if required and re-plan my trip if required with no charges
  • More information about the host

Likelihood to Recommend

When it's best suited - I had booked a villa during COVID and had no idea about this place and no transport was available from the airport to the location. But the Airbnb team helped me with some options and they arranged transport for me. Many times I have observed that some rooms are not clean in advance and this is a big problem. Some spaces need space safety preparedness.

Practicality and security

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

As we needed a place in a practical and fast way, it was a great option that we got agility to stay. That is, it is a delivery made in a safe way that we can know exactly what we want and need. It is always interesting to research before selecting a location, because we want to be served and with that, in order not to break expectations, it is smart to research the location, quality, cost and delivery.

Airbnb is great! I love using it for work travel to escape the normal hotel scene

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used a lot of travel management tools, and most of them don't allow you to stay in non-standard hotels; but when visiting sites in more remote locations, hotels can be few and far between, or honestly, just not very appealing. It took one of my coworkers to get me to try staying at an Airbnb for work for the first time out near Shenandoah, Virginia, and it was great. You can get a better room or house for less money than staying at a hotel, so it is fiscally responsible and helps support the local economy, too.

Pros

  • Easy search functionality by location and date
  • Opens up a wide variety of types of places to stay besides hotels
  • Dashboard management
  • Easy to invite other members of the company

Cons

  • Fees have gone up

Likelihood to Recommend

Airbnb is great because it is easy to note if something is personal or work-related, and to switch between the two if needed; whereas other business travel software makes it a one or the other booking, and tries to incentivize you to purchase personal travel through the site so you see people booking for work on the personal side in order to get benefits. Airbnb is great because it gives you access to locations that may be significantly closer to remote sites than trying to stay in a hotel 30-90 minutes away.

Business Trips Made Easy

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Airbnb for Work has a lot of perks to do with pricing and locations that can host groups of people to work and collaborate together. I also appreciate the alerts they offer on good deals. Lastly, sometimes the options arent necessarily cheaper than a hotel, but they always have more variety.

Stay better for less

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I just AirBnB with my former employer - where I was working as consultant. I found it way more convenient to stay at studios during month-long projects instead of hotels. While using standard AirBnB was not possible with the travel policy of the company, AirBnB for Work was. Thus, I was able to find more comfortable stays to lower rates. AirBnB for Work was suitable for the company due to addressing business travel directly. The use case really is booking business travel with the safety and comfort I was used to of my private travels.

Pros

  • Convey the original “AirBnB feeling” to business travel
  • Providing trust for me while choosing a place
  • Providing credibility and trust to my company, so that they expect studios instead of hotdl rooms of known hotel chains

Cons

  • More locations/coverage globally
  • Tagging of places to enable better filtering and search
  • Expend integration into more travel management (reimbursement) solutions

Likelihood to Recommend

I had project where I had to stay at one specific city for several month. In this times I preferred to stay in studios (including kitchen) to ensure a balanced and health lifestyle more easily. Usually I was not possible to book studios for business travel via AirBnB. This was due to the travel policy of the company. AurBnB for Work however made this possible. It was trustworthy enough for the company now too book studios.

Good, familiar interface

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

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

Likelihood to Recommend

It is important for me when I am gone for many nights to have a feeling that I am really in a home and not just in a sterile hotel. Therefore Airbnb for Work is super useful for me so I know that I can come "home" after working and feel at home.

Great so far!

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Airbnb for Work in our organization for travel needs to meet clients, explore new markets, and other things of such nature. It's solving the issues of lack of face-to-face interaction in the world post-COVID. We took a break during the pandemic but have been trying to get back into it, and Airbnb for Work helps make that possible.

Pros

  • Unique locations
  • Keeps things more personable than a hotel room
  • Allows for great customization to the trip you need!

Cons

  • Somewhat limited in location options
  • I wish you could connect/integrate plane tickets
  • Nothing else, yet!

Likelihood to Recommend

Airbnb for Work has been great for planning and coordinating out-of-town trips, whether they're a state away or across the country. It's been fairly easy to work with and hasn't caused too many issues. It is a bit lacking in the variety and options selection at this point, but it seems to be improving the more that we use it. Overall, a positive experience!

A Useful Service for Longer Term Business Travel.

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for those travelers looking for longer-term accommodations, such as greater than a week or a few weeks. For those staying for only a day or two, it can still be useful, but a hotel may be more appropriate for these kinds of stays. Moreover, many of our travelers like the ability to have a full apartment due to the nature of their stay or the length, and thus using this allows us this added flexibility in finding accommodations with this.

The best choice when you and your team need a space

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With an ever-growing team that is spread across the country and many remote workers Airbnb for Work helps connect employees in ways where virtual meetings and the older avenues of team meetings have failed. It offers more variety to fit any need you would have for you and your team.

Pros

  • Offer a lot more variety than your standard hotel
  • More control on what you are getting.
  • The entire stay is tailor made around what you want the trip to be rather than the other way around

Cons

  • video support for virtual team experiences could be improved
  • Perhaps a questionnaire or search feature to narrow down options for those unsure of what experience/trip they are thinking to go with

Likelihood to Recommend

Have yet to have a negative experience. Customer support is always great and helpful. The wide range selection makes me prefer Airbnb for Work over any alternative service. My last trip was to Seattle and I was able to get an entire experience and stay for my team and I tailored around the best Seattle has to offer.
