Accommodation on airbnb.ru

What is a siteairbnb

Airbnb.ru (airbnb.com) is a website for housing rentals around the world. The essence of the Airbnb project is to connect owners of apartments (rooms, apartments, houses, villas and even yachts) in different countries those wishing to rent out their housing, and potential tenants of this housing on travel, business trips, studies, vacations and under other circumstances.

The advantages of renting accommodation around the world from hosts over standard hotel bookings are obvious. For the same money (and often cheaper) you get a full-fledged apartment instead of a small hotel room. Renting a house or apartment from the owner is very convenient for family trips, especially with children, or for large groups. For solo travelers, it is convenient to rent a room. Let's compare the cheapest Double Room in a hotel and accommodation on airbnb at the same price in Stockholm. What will you choose: stop in a hotel with a tiny room and a shared (!) toilet or in a bright, spacious two-room apartment for the same money?

How to rent an apartment without intermediaries from the owner on Airbnb

To rent a home around the world for the first time through the airbnb website, you need to go through several simple steps. Subsequently, you will be able to rent an apartment without intermediaries from the owner on Airbnb in just a few minutes.

Filling out your profile

Start with yourself. The owner needs to be sure that he is receiving a decent guest. Be conscientious when filling out your profile, because this determines whether the owner will approve your reservation.

  • Register. Of course, first you need to register. Have you noticed a gift from us? Next I will tell you what this means.
  • Fill out the description. Tell us a little about yourself.
  • Upload a photo. It is advisable that the photo is yours, close-up and with a smile.
  • Confirm your profile. There are several options: linking an account with social networks, telephone, email, verification via document scan. This is a very important point to confirm that you a real man with serious intentions.
  • Collect positive reviews. When you start using the site to its fullest, from the very first booking, agree with the owner to exchange reviews. They can be left at the end of your stay for a certain period of time. Unfortunately, many guests and hosts are then too lazy to do this.

⚠ Since airbnb is a site for rental housing around the world, try to give your description and reviews not only in Russian, but also in English.

Important nuances when booking an apartment onairbnb

When you start choosing housing in the city or country you are interested in, pay attention to the following parameters.

Master:

  • Description of yourself.
  • Profile confirmations. The more there are, the better
  • Availability of positive reviews (the owner may not have reviews about this property, but he does have reviews about another).
  • Response rate. A good owner strives for 100%.
  • Availability of “Superhost” status. Awarded for special merit, as can be seen in the diagram below.

The best hosts are awarded the Order of Superhost

We were satisfied with the owner with superhost status.

Apartment (house, room):

  • Reviews of the apartment on airbnb.
  • Availability of photos. Sometimes pictures are taken by airbnb representatives, then they are marked with a “Verified” sign.
  • Address (area of ​​location).

Conditions of accommodation and booking:

  • Cancellation conditions. We will consider this point in more detail later.
  • Availability of options: household appliances, internet, parking, etc.
  • Availability of collateral. Sometimes the owner may indicate the amount of the deposit for the safety of the property.
  • Minimum number of days of stay.

⚠ The lack of reviews about the property, verified photos and “superhost” status from the owner does not mean that this property should not be considered. Most likely, the owner does not rent out the apartment often, has only recently joined the Airbnb website, or is located in a rarely visited place.

What do we pay for

The payment includes basic payments and additional ones.

Basic:

  • Housing rental amount.
  • airbnb service fee (≈6-12%).

Additional (at the owner's request):

  • Cleaning.
  • Other host services.

The total amount is indicated in a special window - everything is extremely transparent.


On the right you can always see what is included in the price and the final cost of the booking

General rules for paying for housing

Contact the owner by clicking the button

Once you have decided on housing, contact the owner via messages. Tell us a little about yourself and the purpose of your trip, ask the owner additional questions, and find out if the accommodation is available for the dates you are interested in. If both parties are happy with everything, request a reservation. You can communicate with multiple owners at the same time, but only request bookings for the same dates from one. Otherwise, several owners may confirm your reservation at once, and your card will be debited for all confirmed requests.

⚠ If you do not speak the host's language, use online translators. Avoid making complex or ambiguous sentences to minimize distortions during automatic translation.

You can bypass correspondence with the host via messages and immediately send a booking request. But I don’t recommend doing this if you have found several options that you like, and there is little time left. You may not have time to submit a new application for another accommodation if your reservation is not rejected immediately.


Submit a booking request and wait for confirmation from the host

Some airbnb apartments have instant booking options. This means that confirmation from the owner is not required. But I still try to first enter into correspondence with the owner in order to clarify the details of interest.


Book accommodation worldwide instantly

Payment on the Airbnb website takes place online using bank card, as soon as the owner confirms the reservation, or at the time of booking if the property has an “instant confirmation” status. For residents of some countries, other payment methods may be used (for example, PayPal). The airbnb service acts as a guarantor of safety Money. The owner will receive payment only 24 hours after your arrival. Therefore, if something goes wrong, it is very important to report the claim to Airbnb support before this period expires.

Travel coupons and bonuses

The Airbnb site has created an incentive system for attracting new users. For successfully inviting friends, both you and your friends will be awarded so-called coupons. In fact, these are not standard coupons with a promo code, but a travel bonus that is assigned to your account.

If you just register on the airbnb.ru website, there will be no bonus. And if you use a special invitation link, the system will give you a $15-35 discount on your accommodation reservation (promotions change periodically and may soon be canceled altogether, so it’s better to register now). After registering on the site, you can also invite friends and acquaintances and give them gift coupons. For what? And then, after they rent an apartment through airbnb, you will be credited with a new discount coupon. It is better to register now, as the promotion may be canceled at any time. So, recently the value of bonuses has changed several times.

Kostya and I once went to Moscow and decided to use airbnb (you can read our review with photos at the link). By that time, we had already accumulated 2 discount coupons totaling $50. For a luxurious new three-ruble note, we paid $60 instead of $110 for two days by redeeming coupons. We loved saving so much! 🙂


This is what our receipt for paying three rubles for two days in Lyubertsy looks like

⚠ Coupons are valid for 1 year.

Cancellation of a reservation on the websiteairbnb

Of course, there are situations when travel plans or routes change. Therefore, when choosing accommodation, be sure to pay attention to the cancellation conditions. They come in several types:

  • Flexible.
  • Moderate.
  • Strict.
  • Super strict 30 days.
  • Super strict 60 days.
  • Long-term.

The first three conditions are most common. For all of the above options, general rules apply:

But if the owner cancels the reservation, this will affect his rating. The Airbnb system automatically publishes information about this fact in the form of a review from a guest. The owner cannot delete it, so it is not in his interests to spoil his reputation. In addition, the host will pay serious fines and will not be able to obtain Superhost status for the next year. But if this does happen, the guest will receive a refund and assistance in finding new housing.

Compliance with Airbnb rules is the key to safety

Please carefully read the rules for renting accommodation around the world on airbnb. They are designed to create maximum safety and comfort. The system is designed in such a way that it protects both guests and hosts. It happens that, under the pretext of saving on service fees, the owners may offer you to pay them directly. Booking bypassing the Airbnb website entails the risk of running into scammers. And in this case, you will not be able to take advantage of the system’s guarantees.

Marina and Konstantin Samorosenko

Among all the online resources offering travelers intermediary services in finding an apartment or house in the private sector abroad, Airbnb accommodation booking site is one of the most popular and is a big competitor to hotel booking services.

Airbnb will ask you to choose the number of bathrooms and toilets, the presence or absence of the Internet (more about), a washing machine. When you see this wealth, try to be practical. If you are traveling on business, you cannot do without the Internet. Staying for more than three days without a kitchen may seem unnecessarily extreme. But the presence of a swimming pool is a pleasant, but very expensive and not entirely appropriate bonus.

Since our first booking of accommodation through the AIRBNB service, we have practically stopped using sites for finding hotels and hostels. In general, it is worth noting that AIRBNB is very popular among experienced travelers who do not like to spend too much money on accommodation. As often happens, unfortunately, you don’t find out about such services right away, but when you start using them, you realize how much you could save on accommodation while getting better conditions, especially for trips around Russia and the CIS countries.

Example of offers on the site

What exactly is AIRBNB?

AIRBNB is an online service for searching and posting advertisements for private rental housing around the world. Who rents out housing? Ordinary people who have a free apartment, house or even a room. If you have free living space with a good location, you can also earn money through this resource.

Why use AIRBNB?

  1. The first and most decisive thing is the price of housing. The price of renting private housing (a separate room or an entire apartment) is almost always 1.5-2 times lower than the cheapest private room in a 2-3 star hotel. Our first booking was in St. Petersburg, we rented a separate room for 10 nights in a 3-room apartment without owners (the other two rooms were never occupied) next to the Champ de Mars for 16,000 rubles. The apartment had a large kitchen, bathroom, washing machine, internet, iron and ironing board, tea, coffee and even a city guide. The owners also gave us a key to the gate to the courtyard so that we could drive our car and park under the windows of our room without any problems.
  2. You can easily choose housing with the options you need: kitchen, washing machine, refrigerator, internet, parking and much more. Read the housing description and amenities section carefully.
  3. You don't risk falling for scammers. The thing is that you pay not directly to the owner of the property, but to the AIRBNB service, and even if you booked a room half a year before the trip, this does not mean that the owner of the apartment will immediately receive the money. No, the landlord receives money only on the second day after your check-in, so the option that your room may be rented to someone else or they won’t let you in at all is eliminated. Each housing option and the owner himself have reviews from people who stayed with him, read them and you will find out all the pros and cons of this offer.
  4. The AIRBNB housing payment receipt is an official document confirming your housing reservation and is accepted by almost all embassies and visa centers when applying for . You can easily write down everyone who is traveling with you on such a receipt.
  5. You can bargain here. If you like some interesting option and plan to spend more than a week in this city, then before booking, you can contact the owner and request a discount for a long stay. By the way, many landlords initially offer a discount for those who book accommodation for longer than 7 nights.
  6. This accommodation option includes all utilities. You will not need to pay extra for water/electricity/internet, etc.
  7. The site offers a huge number of options in various places on our planet. You can choose the best option for yourself that suits your budget and necessary requirements. The site has successfully implemented a system of filters with which you can choose housing.

Are there any disadvantages?

Of course, there are also disadvantages, but in almost all cases you can avoid problems and any surprises for yourself by simply carefully reading the description of the property and comments.

  1. Still, this is not a hotel and they are unlikely to do cleaning and change towels every day.
  2. In 99.9% of cases, such housing does not include meals. On the other hand, there is a 99.9% chance that you will have a kitchen with everything you need.
  3. If you rent a room, and not an apartment or a whole house, it may turn out that the owners live in one of the rooms. So that this does not come as a surprise, carefully read the description and comments.
  4. This point can be related to the previous one, but with the addition that the owners may have animals. Still, it is worth saying that most often housing is rented out where the owners themselves do not live.
  5. AIRBNB charges a commission for bookings.
  6. There are housing options (by the way, hotels also have this) where it is impossible to get your money back if you cancel your trip or decide to cancel your stay after inspecting the property. But the cancellation conditions are always specified in the description of the accommodation.

If you are not yet registered in the AIRBNB system, then you can get a discount of 2100 rubles on your first booking. To do this, you just need to follow this link, and go through a simple registration procedure.

How to rent a house


A little secret for those looking for accommodation for two. Find an apartment/room for one person through the search, and then add a second guest in the selected option. Please note that rooms for two or three guests may be more profitable even than those listed in the category for singles.

Search filters greatly facilitate the choice of housing: Internet, parking, the possibility of holding events, smoking - this is not a complete list of criteria by which you can choose suitable options. In addition, the ability to search by keywords has been implemented, which allows you to find apartments with an office/workplace/near key locations. Convenient when you need housing solely for work or business negotiations; Choosing accommodation based on a map of the area will allow you to stay exactly next to the office of the desired company.

The issuance of housing in the search depends on many factors, including profile data and the specifics of the trip.

Verified photos


The photo in the ad can tell a lot about the rental location. The Airbnb sign in the top right corner of the photo means that the photos were uploaded to the site by the host. And the Verified Photo sign indicates that an Airbnb photographer was in this place and did a photo shoot. That is, the photo exactly corresponds to reality.

Don't be afraid to share a room


If you're not socially anxious, try renting a room rather than an apartment. Firstly, the room will cost you less. Secondly, communication with the owners of the apartment will solve many everyday issues: you will have someone to ask about the nearest pharmacy/ATM, and maybe you can have a drink together in a nearby bar. Carefully read apartment descriptions and user profiles - it usually indicates whether the owner wants to spend time with guests or not. To maintain your privacy, check whether the room is locked.

Response rate


Do you want the hosts to quickly answer any of your questions? Pay attention to the number that appears under the owner's photo in the ad. “Response rate” is an indicator that indicates how often the apartment owner responds to requests. Hosts with this indicator above 90% respond as quickly as possible.

If you need an apartment right away, look for options with an “Instant Booking” button, which allows you to make a reservation without waiting for confirmation from the owner.

Reviews


Read the reviews! Travelers who have lived in this place write honestly about their time there. However, the absence of any reviews is not a cause for concern. Just ask all the questions that matter most to you on the site so that you understand exactly where you will live. In addition, an apartment that currently has few reviews may cost less. Travelers also publish reviews about their hosts - you can find out in advance their character and manner of communicating with guests.

We monitor user behavior on the site and do not allow positive reviews to be cheated. For example, when a tenant and landlord repeatedly book a room with each other, the system may interpret this as an attempt to create a positive rating on the site.

Safety


Booking, payment, communication between the tenant and the landlord, reviews - this is the information that we carefully monitor. Airbnb's intelligence system takes into account many factors, based on patterns of potentially dangerous actions (much like what eBay has successfully implemented). Each property listed on the Airbnb platform is assigned “trust points.” Properties with a low score are automatically flagged for closer inspection, helping to track money laundering and other forms of fraud. The system works perfectly - for 6 million residents in 2013, conflict situations requiring payment of compensation from the company were reported only 700 times. And don’t forget that we always have hotline customer service, don't hesitate to complain.

Don’t forget to study your profile, this will allow you to avoid communicating with “random” people.

Communication with the owner


It is customary for us to communicate with the owners kindly. Discuss in advance the standard set of questions: how the keys will be handed over, whether there is Wi-Fi in the apartment, adapters for sockets, a hair dryer, pets, is it possible to use the kitchen, where is the nearest store/pharmacy, how quickly and what transport can you use to get there? to the city center and so on.

You can and should bargain with the owners for housing. You can convince the owner to change the rental price. When booking at the last minute, it may be more profitable for the host to accept you than to leave the apartment empty. Is it possible to significantly reduce the cost of an air mattress, folding bed or sofa? No. But if you move in with a family, you can rent really nice apartments for normal money.

Some owners are worried about their property and usually ask for a small security deposit. After you leave your place of residence, the deposit is returned to the card (provided that you left the apartment intact). The return period for the card is determined by your bank. To avoid controversial issues (if the owner tries to accuse you of damaging property), when moving out of the apartment, it would not hurt to invite the owner to make a walk-through or photograph the premises himself.

Of course, you can do just fine without all of the above. But get so much more good impressions(or even get them at all), and in some cases you can save money with the help of our advice. If you have any observations or questions that are not mentioned here, leave them in the comments.

I'll tell you how to find it nice apartment and remove it without any problems. Here are five tips to help you avoid screwing up your rent.

Sergey Korol

traveler

Usually, newcomers to Air BBC choose a city and date, and then admire the beautiful photos of apartments from the search. They imagine how they will lie on a luxurious bed and how they will have breakfast on the balcony overlooking the park. As a result, they choose housing with the cutest photos. Is it dangerous.

Perhaps, instead of a pleasant sleep in bed, you will have to get up early in the morning to catch the train to the center. And to have breakfast on the balcony, you will need to walk for an hour to buy groceries at the nearest supermarket.

We went to Helsinki for the festival and were impressed by the cute apartment with a sauna and grill on the balcony. It turned out that she was formally in another city, in Espoo. It's an hour's drive from Helsinki

To make your vacation enjoyable, look not only at the photographs, but also at the location of the apartments. Find out where the nearest stops are public transport and how often does he go? See what shops and cafes are nearby. If you're driving, find out where to park overnight.

For example, I want to rent an apartment in the city center, in the Punavuori area:

I find this place in Google Maps, and then “walk” along the neighboring streets in street view mode.

I’m looking for parking, looking at the signs, as if I’m driving a virtual car and thinking about where to park it.

Oh, you can park your car here from 9 am to 7 pm - this is written on the yellow sign on the wall of the building, above the Canon. But you won’t be able to park overnight - in the morning there will be a fine waiting under the windshield wiper

Sometimes they deliberately rent an apartment not in the center in order to save on rent. Before you do this, calculate how much an hour of your vacation costs. This way you will see that an expensive apartment in the center will be more profitable.

Cost of renting an apartment in Paris

Rent an apartment for 3200 RUR per day

More expensive and closer

Rent an apartment in the center for 4800 RUR per day

Spend 2 hours every day getting to the center and back - 800 RUR of your time and another 20 € for two for bus tickets (≈1400 RUR)

More expensive and closer

You walk around the city on foot and rarely spend money on transport. The apartment costs as much as you pay for rent

Total - 5400 RUR

More expensive and closer

Both the renter and the owner can cancel a reservation at Air BBC.

If you rent an apartment and then change your mind, the service may fine you. This is determined by the types of cancellations. There are six of them: from soft to hard.

With soft cancellation, you can cancel your rental even five minutes before check-in - you will receive a full refund. With hard cancellation, you will get a 50% refund of your stay if you cancel your reservation a month in advance.

Cancellation rules are listed in the "Prices" section

Sometimes it happens that the owner of the apartment cancels the reservation. Often, owners rent out their apartments while traveling, and plans may change. This is a fairly rare case; it happened to me once.

If the host cancels your reservation, you will receive an email letting you know. I advise you to look through your mailbox the night before your trip. By the way, if the owner cancels the reservation, Air BBC will give you a small consolation amount to your internal account.

Make lists directly on the site

Usually there are dozens and hundreds of apartment options at Air BBC. In order not to get confused in them and not to lose interesting ones, I advise you to keep a list.

The list is created directly on the website. Name it after the city you're going to.

Then add apartments to the list directly from the search - click on ❤:

So in half an hour you will have a dozen options to choose from. You can discuss them with family or friends. These apartments will no longer be lost in the search.

Check details in advance

Usually apartment owners send guests detailed instructions: how to get from the airport, how to find an apartment. Guests close the Air BBC tab, thinking that everything is ok.

What to pay attention to

The owner writes that the easiest way to get from Berlin Tegel Airport is by taxi for 20 € (1534 RUR). But you do not fly to Tegel, but to Schönefeld. Find out how to get there by public transport from Schönefeld and how much it will cost.

The owner asks to pick up the keys from the neighbor. She lives opposite, in apartment 20B. Ask your neighbor for her phone number and ask her to give her your number. Warn that you will be there between 12 and 14 o'clock - let him be at home at this time.

The owner offers to meet you from the train and take you home by car. He asks for only 15 € (1150 RUR). Google transport: it turns out that you can get from the station to your house by tram for 4 € (306 RUR). Politely decline.

The owner complains that there is now an excavator in his parking space and it will not be possible to leave the car at the house. Find out from him where the nearest free parking. If there isn’t one, ask him to negotiate with your neighbors so that you park in someone else’s place.

Usually before a trip I look at the route from the stop to the house on Street View. This way I find housing quickly and without errors.

This is our temporary home in Berlin. If you walk around Street View, you can see a huge park full of weed dealers

I also make sure to write down the owner’s phone number and take screenshots of Google Maps. I can use the screenshots to get to the place; if I get lost, in extreme cases, I’ll call you by phone.

You might think I'm paranoid. However, during all this time I have had almost no unpleasant moments with checking into Air BBC.

Include the skeptic

Usually people think the apartment is nice in advance. Beautiful pictures, view outside the window. By default, I consider any housing suspicious.

When I look at an apartment, I always try to find a flaw in it. Why didn't you take a picture of the bathroom? Where will all the things go from the table and closet? Why does the baby's crib get wet in the rain on the balcony?

So I found a nice apartment in Riga:

But if you scroll down to the photo of the house itself, it becomes a little scary. Hut on chicken legs for 2600 RUR per day!

If you have any doubts about the apartment, it is better to clarify them with the owner in advance. If you can’t clarify, don’t shoot.

I avoid apartments that have too many household items. Typically, such apartments are found among those who are leaving for several weeks. You will be greeted by cabinets filled with things and a bathroom shelf where there is nowhere to even put toothpaste. It’s a strange feeling: you seem to have paid a lot of money, but it’s like you’re living as a guest.

This apartment in Rome is obviously residential. Everywhere there are paintings, books and things of the owners

Don't forget about cleaning. Typically, Air BBC shows the cost of a night's stay in the search. However, in addition to this amount, an additional cleaning fee will be charged. The money for cleaning goes to the owner of the apartment, so sometimes he cheats: he reduces the cost of rent, but charges a lot for cleaning. Look at this amount when choosing an apartment. The cost of cleaning should not exceed one night in the apartment.

For three nights in a Tokyo apartment, you expect to pay 9,600 RUR, but you will pay more than 12 thousand. They will additionally charge 2200 RUR for cleaning and another 1500 RUR for the Air BBC commission.

How to contact outside of Air BBC. The service stops all attempts to exchange contacts with the owners of apartments that you have not rented. You won’t be able to leave your phone number or a link to your social network account - Air BBC will hide this for the recipient of the message.

To contact the owner, some distort the words: Fαсၔbo0к or Inƽαrαm. Or they write numbers in letters: plus seven nine two five...

Please do not try to bypass Air BBC to rent an apartment. The owner will complain, you will be blocked, or something else will happen:
