Admission and Benefits Admission into Plus brings significant benefits, including but not limited to: (1) categorized placement in search results; (2) interior design advice, editorial suggestions, and professional photography to help you give your Listing a new look; and (3) priority Airbnb support.

Of course. Airbnb Plus is a premium tier within Airbnb designed to offer a more consistent, high-quality, and reliable experience for guests. The benefits are significant for both guests and hosts, though the program has been phased out for new applicants as of late 2022. Existing Plus listings remain active.

Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits:

For Guests:

1. Verified Quality & Consistency: Every Airbnb Plus home is personally inspected by Airbnb or a trusted partner against a 100+ point checklist. This ensures the space is not just beautiful in photos, but is genuinely well-maintained, clean, thoughtfully designed, and fully functional.
2. Premium Amenities as Standard: Guests can expect a reliably high level of comfort. The checklist includes:
   • A fully-equipped kitchen (with cookware, staples, etc.)
   • Fast, reliable WiFi.
   • A comfortable, dedicated workspace (crucial for remote workers).
   • High-quality linens and towels.
   • Well-stocked toiletries.
   • Smart locks or easy self-check-in.
3. Exceptional Design & Comfort: Plus listings are required to be thoughtfully laid out and well-decorated—they feel like a “home,” not just a basic rental. They are clutter-free, stylish, and comfortable.
4. Priority Guest Support: Plus guests received access to a dedicated customer support line for faster assistance with any issues during their stay.
5. Reduced Risk: The in-person verification significantly reduced the chance of arriving at a property that doesn’t match its listing (e.g., outdated photos, missing amenities, or being unclean).
