Airbnb Luxe

Airbnb Luxe - is it separate from Airbnb?

Yes. Airbnb Luxe is a separate channel. You can access it via www.airbnb.com/luxury. It offers a selection of pristine destinations with expertly designed homes for most demanding guests.

Connecting to Airbnb Luxe via Rentals United?

You cannot connect to Airbnb Luxe from Rentals United and you cannot add a property to this channel. These listings will always be created by an Airbnb Luxe agent working directly with the host.

You can only map the Airbnb Luxe listing to your property in Rentals United. Then, Rentals United can manage the price and availability of connected Airbnb Luxe listings via the API.

Is Airbnb Luxe available in the list of sales channels?

No. You can advertise your listings on Airbnb Luxe by connecting first to Airbnb and upgrading to the Airbnb Luxe as instructed by the Airbnb Luxe agent. Get in touch with Airbnb Team to do it.

What are the limitations for the Airbnb Luxe listings?

You can only connect Airbnb Luxe listings to Rentals United on Limited Sync. All other listing content such as photos, descriptions and amenities are managed by Airbnb Luxe agents. You cannot list or unlist (turn on and off) Airbnb Luxe listings via the API as Airbnb needs to keep control over the Airbnb Luxe supply and its quality.

How to start listing on Airbnb Luxe and what are the requirements?

  1. Once you have a property that you would like to list on Airbnb Luxe, you need to report it to the Airbnb Luxe Team. The Airbnb Luxe Team agent will create the listing with you. The details of the process can be found in the Airbnb Help Center.

  2. The Airbnb Luxe listings need to meet high quality standards. Check the Airbnb recommendation in the AirbnbHelp Center.

  3. After the listing is created on the Airbnb Luxe side, the client needs to map it (Limited Sync) to their property in Rentals United (as regular listing) - see here.

Can a property be both on Airbnb Luxe and Airbnb?

No, it is not possible for a property to be advertised on both from the business perspective. Luxury listings need to meet a set of additional requirements.

Additionally, it is also not recommended from the technical perspective:

  • Rentals United does not allow one property to be mapped to two listings either.

  • We do not recommend having two instances of the same property mapped for Airbnb and Airbnb Luxe, as there is no guarantee on synchronisation between the properties.

We can map a Airbnb Luxe listing to a Rentals United property. Is this a robust process and can we use it?

Yes. After the Airbnb Luxe listing is created, you can map such a listing to your property in Rentals United as Limited Sync and manage the ARI data.
