NextPax and Airbnb’s joint purpose is providing a connection between yourselves as hosts and their guests. Airbnb as a company, was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 900 million guest arrivals across 220 countries and regions. Every day, their 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, promoting belonging, community and trust around the world.

Why choose NextPax as a Channel Manager to run your accommodations on Airbnb?

Content Management

NextPax Travel Technology is offering full content management on the connection towards Airbnb. Your pictures, descriptions, amenities and any related section related to Airbnb’s content requirements can be shared from our system. NextPax also advises you on where to improve and how to become an Airbnb Superhost. Did you know we can build 40.000 accommodations and have those hosted on Airbnb within 5 minutes?

Synchronize Host Account & Onboarding Solution

Once you have created your host account on Airbnb, you can easily synchronize your host account with our channel management software. From there we can fully build your accommodations on Airbnb or if you only want us to synchronize your rates & availability we are also compliant with Airbnb’s limited sync program. Our advice is obviously to manage everything related to Airbnb on our central channel management software, where you can manage all channels in one-go.

Payments made very easy

Unlike other channels, since Airbnb takes the payment from the guest, it’s so easy to work with them. You don’t need to worry about capturing payments, 1st or 2nd installments, processing fraudulent or invalid credit cards of travellers – all is being taken care of by Airbnb, who provides you the payout.

Reviews & Messaging Engine

Our application enables you to retrieve the Airbnb detailed review scores and the actual reviews from your guests, which you can reply to. Now you know where you can improve your service! And our highly advanced messaging engine allows you to communicate with Airbnb’s guests and customer service from the tool of your liking. And do you want to be efficient, only personally answering what’s really important? Set up auto-reply messages on basic questions in any language.

Manage multiple host accounts efficiently

NextPax Travel Technology has a specific capability that will profit medium to large sized organizations. In our channel management software you can manage multiple Airbnb host accounts and aggregate all operations, guest communications and property optimization tactics in just one system, instead of repetitively coordinating this in 10, 20 or 200 host accounts.

Diverse Pricing Solutions

Through NextPax you are able to set a diverse range of pricing solutions for Airbnb. We do operate on a Length of Stay model with Airbnb, which enables you to set prices for any length of stay, any stay date and for each occupancy. Also we can let Airbnb know which taxes or additional fees are payable on location of the property. Also you can rent your accommodation towards long-stay guests, who stay up to 90 days in your accommodation.
