- This service is done through a mobile application that is downloaded on the phone's app, which can be understood similarly to Uber's car-sharing applications. At the same time all the steps from booking, searching for rental to payment will be done via the Airbnb app, using a credit card. It is this Airbnb intermediary who will charge a certain fee for both those who need to book a room and the landlords who rent it.
- The fee is charged to the landlord at 3% of the total value of the price of the room booked, the charge for the guest booking ranges from 6 to 12% and this fee will be displayed during the time customers use the service. This fee will always ensure the tenant must pay a lower cost when making a hotel reservation through other services.
- In August 2008, two Design students living in San Francisco tried to share part of their apartment with tourists. Then, seeing the great potential of this model, the two students themselves called on more friends to contribute capital to set up a website, gradually developing them and taking the name Airbnb. Now, Airbnb booking and room rental service has become a very good quality, prestigious booking address, which is chosen by many travelers.
- Currently, Airbnb service has been widely available in more than 190 countries including Vietnam.
