Overview
- Guests who book an Experience can opt to see other attendees’ names and origins, message before or after the activity, and keep contacts in a new Connections tab, with default “don’t share” settings plus block and report controls.
- Airbnb expanded its AI assistant to Mexico and Canada in English, Spanish and French, and it can now take in-chat actions such as canceling reservations or changing dates with tailored responses.
- Search results now include carousels that surface places just outside a user’s criteria, including nearby locations, slightly higher or lower prices, or listings missing selected amenities.
- The maps view adds tappable points of interest with descriptions and distances from listings, supporting trip planning directly in the app.
- Hosts get date-specific cancellation policies and price tips up to a year out, an upgraded earnings dashboard arriving next year, and a global rollout next year of Reserve Now, Pay Later.
