Airbnb Rooms has been launched as a new feature from the short-term rental platform as a way to help travelers enjoy low-cost accommodations, while also helping hosts to make extra money on underutilized space.
The feature works by letting users list a single room in their home where a guest can stay and share the space more communally with their host. The feature will be available as a search option for travelers looking to save a bit of money by only renting the space they require. This also harkens back to the brand's community-focused ethos that could connect visitors more closely to their hosts.
Airbnb Rooms is launching alongside additional features like Host Passport to provide guests with a way to get to know their hosts before they arrive.
