Our Story

Welcome to Airbnb, where unique travel experiences start. We began in 2008 when two designers who had space to share hosted three travelers looking for a place to stay. Now, millions of hosts and travelers choose to create a free Airbnb account so they can list their space and book unique accommodations anywhere in the world.

From cozy treehouses to luxurious villas, Airbnb offers memorable experiences for every traveler. Our mission is to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere, providing access to unique places and cultures around the globe.
