Without a doubt the best way to receive the largest discount on Airbnb available is to receive a Host Offered Discount.Ĭrafting the perfect message is the most important part of this whole process. This is another reason longer stays provide so much value, as you will naturally target the listings that are taking advantage of overpriced service fees by only paying them once! It’s a somewhat flawed system, but the service fee amount will be the same for a single night as it is for a 30-night stay at the same property.

One of the things that drive up the price of an Airbnb more than anything is the service fee. So as always, the best results come from planning ahead! (If you are making a last minute booking, try to find properties offering a new listing ‘special offer’ discount.) As you are booking an entire month, a single other booking could cause your ‘dream listing’ not to show up. To get the most out of this strategy you will want to book 1 – 2 months in advance. For this reason, I pretty much target any of the listings that suit my needs, but generally start with the most discounted properties. However, over time I’ve refined this strategy and learnt that it’s the properties that haven’t yet considered adding the monthly discount where the most savings can be made. My initial strategy was to only target the properties that offered large monthly discounts (30-50%). Remember to keep it broad, we’re playing a numbers game here. Based on your needs, scan through the 20 to 100 property listings and heart the ones that fit your needs the best. Here comes the fun part, or mind-numbing part, depending on how you feel about house hunting.
