That presents a fresh challenge to Airbnb, which has been dogged by complaints recently over soaring cleaning fees, service fees and other charges that quickly add up to make the platform suddenly less appealing than hotels.Īirbnb CEO Brian Chesky noted the company was moving toward a practice of upfront pricing to be more transparent about how much a guest would ultimately end up paying for a stay. A two-night stay at one of Heirloom’s Nashville listings is $125 less per night than what you’d find on Airbnb, according to the report. One of those companies, Heirloom, lists luxury vacation rentals on Airbnb but also lets guests book on its own website. It might be bad news for Airbnb, but it's great news for your wallet heading into the summer vacation season. Professional rental companies often designated as Superhosts - a term the company uses to denote top-performing rental owners - are cutting out Airbnb by instead having renters book directly with them or via their own listing platform at more affordable rates. We hate to inform you, Airbnb, but the call is coming from inside the house.Īirbnb hosts might build their business off the platform, but several are now wooing repeat customers away from the vacation rental platform entirely, according to a report out this month from The Bear Cave and reported on by Reuters. There’s unexpected competition emerging in the vacation rental business.
