How to make your experience submission stand out

Great Airbnb experiences give guests the opportunity to explore special places and participate in one-of-a-kind activities led by knowledgeable hosts. Your submission should capture how you plan to meet and exceed their expectations during the experience.

Use these tips to answer key questions and turn your ideas into a compelling submission.

• Provide a specific itinerary that outlines what guests will do from start to finish.
• Describe what sets your activity apart and why it’s something guests couldn’t or wouldn’t do on their own.
• Indicate what guests will learn or discover during their time with you.
• Tell us how your guests will connect and engage with one another.

• Share how your activity reflects the place or the culture where you’re hosting.
• Specify the type of insider access you offer guests to a location, such as after-hours, behind-the-scenes or invitation-only.
• Include details about the overall relevance of the activity to your city or region.
• Note any points of interest or landmarks you’ll visit.

• Explain how the experience reflects your personality, heritage or passion for the topic.
