How do I ask my Airbnb host for a discount?

To get the ball rolling, you'll first need to select the Contact Host button on the Airbnb listing to message the host through Airbnb's messaging service. In your message, express interest in booking a stay at a specific listing, noting that you're seeking a discount. Again, it's best practice to provide a reason.
