How Do I List My Property on AirBnB?

Introduction

Do you have a property, or multiple properties, you want to rent to guests? Whether you own a camper van, a vacation home, or a small cottage, you can list your property on Airbnb and start earning money. Creating a listing is straightforward, but you'll need to complete the required forms and provide accurate details and high-quality photos of your property.

Enter Your Address

The first step in creating an Airbnb listing is to enter your property's address. Make sure you've entered the correct address before clicking Next to confirm.

Describe Your Property

Next, select the property type you're offering guests. Choose the option that best describes your property. You can list an entire house, boat, camper, castle, or apartment. Select the appropriate property type and click Next.

Select Whether Guests Will Rent the Entire Place or a Room

Are you renting out the entire property or just a room in your home? You can also offer a shared room, which may be ideal for budget travelers. Select the option that best describes your accommodation and click Next.

Show Precise Location

Next, confirm your address and choose whether you want guests to see your property's exact location. You can also hide its precise location. Check Show Precise Location to share it, or uncheck it to hide your property's exact location. Then, click Next.

Share Details About Your Place

If you're renting out the entire property, specify the maximum number of guests it can accommodate, along with the number of bedrooms, beds, and bathrooms available. Then, click Next.

Select All the Amenities

Next, select the amenities that will make your property stand out. Choose all the amenities available at your property and click Next.

Add Photos

You can attract more guests by uploading high-quality photos of your property. To add photos, click Add Photos, select Upload, and then click Next.

Tap Complete Your Listing

After adding pictures of your property, click Complete Your Listing.

Create a Name for Your Home

Give your property an appealing title to attract more guests. You can always change it later. Once you're satisfied with the title, click Next.

Describe Your Home

Next, choose up to two highlights that best describe your property. If you've already selected Family-Friendly, you can choose another highlight. Then, click Next.

Create a Description for Your Home

Write an appealing description of your property and highlight the amenities that guests may enjoy. Once you're satisfied with your description, click Next.

Select Booking Settings

Select whether you want to approve the first five bookings or use Airbnb's Instant Book feature. Then, click Next.

Set a Price and Add Discount

Next, set your price and consider adding discounts. Then, click Next.

Publish Your Listing

Conclusion

After you create your listing, keep in mind it will remain pending until you verify your identity. Review Airbnb's instructions for completing the identity verification process and finish it as soon as possible so your listing becomes active. Once published, your listing may take 24–72 hours to appear in search results. Do you have further questions about creating an Airbnb listing?
