The space

Many business travelers are new to traveling on Airbnb, so we’ve limited Business Travel Ready listings to certain property types to help make sure guests know what to expect when they arrive.

As a part of this, and because of the potential for allergies and other sensitivities, we also ask that Business Travel Ready listings are smoke-free properties and don’t have pets living in the space while the guest is there.

Amenities

The listing must also have the following Business Travel Ready amenities:

  • Wireless Internet
  • A laptop-friendly workspace
  • Self check-in (this includes a key lockbox, doorman, keypad, or smartlock)
  • A smoke detector
  • A carbon monoxide detector
  • Essentials (toilet paper, clean towels, and fresh linens)
  • An iron
  • Hangers
  • A hair dryer
  • Shampoo

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are an important part of making Airbnb a trusted travel option for companies. As part of our commitment to guest safety, Airbnb offers free smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for hosts: www.airbnb.com/home-safety.

Reviews and response rate

Listings must have at least 3 star rated reviews before they can be eligible for Business Travel Ready status. For listings with 3 or more star rated reviews, at least 60% of both the listing’s primary reviews, and the listing’s reviews for cleanliness and accuracy must be 5 star reviews.

Hosts of Business Travel Ready listings also must have responded to 90% of booking requests within 24 hours over the last year.

Cancellations

Hosts of Business Travel Ready listings must provide a 7-day cancellation commitment to reservations. If a listing has a cancellation within 7 days of a confirmed check-in date, it can't be considered for Business Travel Ready for 1 year from the cancellation date.
