One in five nights booked on Airbnb is part of a monthly stay.*
Monthly discounts may help you entice guests to book longer stays.
Hosts who offer both shorter and longer-term stays are more likely to fill their calendars for the year.**
In 2022, based on internal Airbnb data, listings that were open to both long term (28 nights plus) and short term stays generated on average 45% more earnings than those that were short term exclusive.
“Offering a discount for longer stays is a great way to entice guests into booking… Monthly bookings tend to mean less turnover work for me too.”
Host Oliver of New York City
