Airbnb is rolling out over 50 new features to improve the user experience, highlighting private rooms rentals and transparent pricing.
The company is relaunching its Airbnb Rooms category to promote renting single rooms in someone's home as a budget-friendly travel option.
New features like Host Passport provide more details about hosts while updates to maps, wishlists and customer service aim to streamline the booking process.
Airbnb is partnering with Klarna to allow some guests to pay for stays over time with no interest.
The updates address concerns over hidden fees and cancellations, displaying total price and check-out info upfront while offering rebooking credits for some last-minute cancellations.
