Negotiating Airbnb Rates

PSA: You can get a better Airbnb rate just by asking.

For popular destinations or during high season, you might have trouble getting hosts to compromise on price. But oftentimes, hosts will happily knock 10-50% off the listing price, especially during off-peak times.

Not sure how to ask? Use the message template below to potentially save hundreds of dollars off your next booking:

Hi [Host Name],

I am looking to rent an apartment in [City] from [start date] to [end date]. Your apartment looks amazing! Although the price is over my budget, is there any chance that you could offer a discount for [X days]? I would be sure to treat the apartment like my own home. If you are able to accommodate this request, then I would be happy to book immediately.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing back.

[Your name]
