Founded in 2007, Airbnb is an online marketplace that connects people who want to rent out their homes with people who are looking for accommodations in specific locales. It has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer unique stays and one-of-a-kind activities that make it possible for guests to experience the world in a more authentic, connected way.
There are 5.6 million listings and 4 million hosts worldwide in over 220 countries. Please be cautious when booking an Airbnb as there are many illegal, unsafe or fake listings on the platform. Airbnb has also been cited for safety issues.
