Overall Satisfaction with Airbnb for Work

We used Airbnb for Work as an experiment to make business trips more fun and meaningful for our teams.
We used to just book hotels for business trips, and thought it might make sense to try something "experience-based" (not just a holel room, but also activities etc.) and see what positive/negative impact it would have on the teams.
  • Provide unique locations (not just hotel rooms)
  • Very user friendly user interface
  • The travel management tool
  • The number of locations is still limited
  • Lack integration with air plane ticket reservation services
  • Teams collaboration tools could be better
  • Good impact on team building
  • Cheaper than hotel rooms in some cases (budget reduction)
  • Better efficiency in managing team travel
The biggest advantage of Airbnb for Work against other travel management solutions is clearly Airbnb's experience with personal travel.
Most of the locations are great and engaging, and do make the business trip experience something new.
On the other hand, Concur Travel and Expense provides more advanced tools for expenses management.

I think Airbnb for Work is great to use as an experiment to make business trips something different and evaluate the impact it has on your teams.
Some employees will probably like the experience, while others might want to stick to the good old hotel solution.
It might also be a good way to bring teams together after long periods of remote work.
