When searching for Airbnbs, I targeted new listings with the 20% offer and also because we had long stays, we were given additional long stay discounts (more on this in the next tip). We spent two weeks in Coolangatta and three weeks in the Miami suburb. Recently we stayed in the Gold Coast, Australia for 5 weeks. Or I’ll contact the host and ask for a little more info if need be. Since that’s the case, I’ll look into who the host is and see if they have any reviews from other properties. Of course these can be a little more risker because there’s no reviews on the listing.

So I filter through and find the ones that are new and offer the ’20% first booking’ offers. Airbnb will put a ‘New’ tag on the listing so you know they’ve just been added. So when I put in my search criteria, all I do is scroll through and look into the ‘New’ listings. This is great for us renters, and it helps the host get their first few bookings, which means they get some reviews under their belt. When a host creates a new listing on Airbnb, they often offer the first few bookings a special 20% offer. It has quickly become one of my most effective ways to get a discount on Airbnb and it doesn’t involve any awkward negotiating with the host haha. Okay, so this first tip is one that I’ve found out recently by my own Airbnb bookings. Be The First Booking On A New Airbnb Listing
