When you are checking out, all you have to do is press a button that says apply travel credit. This instantly removes a chunk of your check out price.

Psst...Want in on a Secret? 🤫
We've scoured the internet for the best ALL-AROUND travel shoe and Tropicfeel wins by far. We've taken ours through rivers, jungles, and cities and they're still alive and kickin'. Check them out below.
Update as of Dec. 2020: Airbnb has paused their referral program so inviting friends no longer gives you credit in return.
Sign up to get your own $65 Airbnb promo code and send it to your friends. Send it to people you meet when you travel, to family members, or even your other three emails.
Spread the love via text, email Facebook, etc, and get even more Airbnb credit!
Every time one of these people makes a booking on Airbnb that is over $72, you will get $65 worth of Airbnb credit which you can use when booking your own trips! It’s a win-win situation as both you and your friends/family can benefit from it.
As an added bonus, if they decide to become a host themselves, well then, you get $75 worth of travel credit – boom! Maybe this isn’t a lot to you or maybe it is; either way, you can stay in some pretty sweet places for $75.
All you have to do is press the Invite Friends tab which I circled below.
Much like your friends signing up to be an Airbnb host, giving you $75 worth of credit, you can also sign up yourself. If you’ve been looking to earn some money on the side or been dreaming of making money while traveling, listing your home on Airbnb is a great way to make some extra money.
For a first-time host, you will be given a whopping $75 credit yourself which you can put towards your next travel destination.
That’s a pretty sweet discount! Then, think about all the money that you would earn from actually renting your place out to travelers when you’re not there. Airbnb is one of the fastest growing businesses in the world and a lot of people are making some serious dosh from it making it a win-win situation.
If you’re interested in becoming an Airbnb host or even just finding out how much you can potentially earn, check out our full article below.
*UPDATE: It seems that Airbnb has temporarily shut their host referral program*
Book a Long-term Rental
Another great thing about Airbnb is that the longer you stay, the bigger the discount tends to be. If you’re looking to book an apartment for 7 days but are flexible to stay for 2 weeks for example, you could end up scoring up to a 25-30% discount.
Long-term rentals are a great way to stretch your budget and make the most of the place that you’re traveling to. A lot of the time, they can even work out cheaper than a hotel too.
Top Tip: When staying in a place for more than two weeks, we usually play around with the dates as sometimes, it would be cheaper renting the place for an entire month, even if you’re only staying for two weeks. We just book the place up for the month and leave early when our time is up!
Contact Airbnb Hosts Directly
Another way to get a discount on Airbnb is by contacting the hosts directly. We did this when we stayed in Barcelona and ended up getting a FANTASTIC deal for an apartment located right in the center of the city. This saved us almost 40-50%!
The longer answer: Airbnb is all over the world, it’s anywhere and everywhere and therefore, your code will work for you wherever you are as long as there are Airbnb hosts around.
To date, we’ve used Airbnb to get villas in Thailand and Bali. We’ve scored pretty cheap flats all over Europe where we got to save money and cook. We’ve also stayed in ridiculously awesome places in Morocco and Croatia with incredible views.
The best part about it is Airbnb really allows you a local experience. In Bristol, our Airbnb host was so lovely! We had food and wine with her and she even gave us some medicine as both Tom and I had fallen ill during the course of our stay.
To help you get the most out of your Airbnb stay, here are our top tips when booking your accommodation online.
Use the filter tab
It might sound like common sense, but you don’t want to end up paying more because you inputed too many people or bedrooms than you needed. Also checked if it is a private apartment or a private room in someone’s apartment – there’s a big difference!
Using the filter tab will help you find places within your budget along with the facilities that you need. For example, if you are renting a car, you need to make sure that the Airbnb where you are staying has parking nearby.
Be flexible with your travel plans
If you can, use Airbnb when you have the flexibility to book a longer stay. As we said before, this can give you quite a substantial discount so explore dates and rental duration to get the best price for you.
If not, contact the host if they can provide any sort of discount. Some hosts provide a discount during the off-season so sending one friendly email won’t hurt anybody!
Recheck the location before booking
Annoyingly, when you start narrowing down your search in terms of price and other filters, Airbnb will automatically widen your location search.
This can be good if there is an option that works for you that is not too far away from where you want to be but it can also really screw you over if you book somewhere way out there in the sticks. Using the map feature can help you find listings within specific areas or landmarks.

Turn off Instant Book
If you are seeing options for Airbnb’s that you can instantly book, turn this feature off! It limits your search results greatly and you’ll likely end up paying more.
Some Airbnb listings require approval from the hosts so collecting reviews for your profile goes both ways! It usually requires you to send an Airbnb message to the host. I usually keep it short and sweet, stating what I have planned during my time in that city. As long as you have a complete profile, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Check if they charge extra fees
Many Airbnb hosts will add a cleaning fee to their rental which will be added on to the final price at the end of your booking. This is usually on top of Airbnb fees as well and can range from $5 to $50 per stay so make sure to check this.
If you’re a regular Airbnb user and have glowing reviews, you can potentially negotiate a lower fee or no fee at all if the host is confident that you will leave the apartment as you left it. Being a first-time user though, you won’t have this power.
Always read the reviews
Positive reviews about both the host and the actual property are great reinforcements about your booking. However, always have an open mind when you’re reading them. Sometimes a negative review can just be because of personal preference so don’t rule a place out completely because of it.
On the flip side, hosts get to review you too! You need to remember that you’re staying in someone’s home so being respectful of their space and the items around you is a must. Tom and I always make it a point to leave the Airbnb clean whenever we leave! It doesn’t take us long to tidy and a kind gesture like that goes a long way.
Read everything!
You need to know what’s included, what’s not, what the cancellation policy is, and the check-in and check-out times to make the most of your booking and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
There’s nothing worse than arriving at a new place at 2am in the morning and realizing that you can’t check in because this is an actual person’s apartment and not a hotel. Moral of the story is to do your due diligence.
Most Airbnbs will have precise check-in instructions on how to pick up the keys, where to leave it, etc. Reading up on this beforehand can help you choose between listings.
Message the host before booking
If you want someone who is attentive and personable, message the host before booking so that you can make sure that they are the right fit for you.
The last thing you want when you’ve paid for a really nice place for a month is a potentially rude or unresponsive host that is unwilling to help when you need it, so make contact and start a conversation. It also allows them to ask any questions of you too.
Our hosts in Las Palmas, Spain were so lovely. They even gifted us with bottles of wine and gave recommendations on where to go and what to eat!

Airbnb Rentals Around the World
If you want to find a home away from home when you travel, Airbnb is a great platform to use. Plus you can find some pretty quirky places wherever you are in the world like a treehouse or lighthouse stay and who doesn’t love a bit of quirkiness in their life?
Check out a few of the listings that you can find on the platform.
Lately, we’ve been traveling a lot slower and staying in places for a lot longer than we ever have before and we’ve loved it. Not only has it allowed us to immerse ourselves in the community and culture of each place, but it has also allowed us to save money when we get an extended-stay discount from our Airbnb booking. It’s for this reason that we can’t recommend it enough!
