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 very easy to work with them. You don’t need to worry about capturing payments, 1st or 2nd instalments, 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!

Manage multiple host accounts efficiently
NextPax has a specific capability that will profit medium to large sized organizations.

About the Airbnb Channel manager integration – FAQ
Why would I need a channel manager for Airbnb?
An Airbnb channel manager can help you save time and increase efficiency by streamlining the process of managing your vacation rental listings across multiple platforms next to Airbnb. It allows you to update your availability and rates in real-time, across all of your connected channels, which can help you maximize your bookings and revenue.
What should I consider when starting to host on Airbnb?
You can start via our content management system. Make sure all of the details of your property are known to us. Take high quality photos of each area in landscape and high resolution. In terms of organizing the logistics, make sure you provide us with your house rules and provide us with check-in instructions. Once this is done, we’ll take care of the rest, and you can just welcome your guests.
What are Airbnb’s best practices regarding hosting?
In order to optimize your relationship with the Airbnb travellers, the following points are important to take into account. More than any other channel, Airbnb’s travellers like to communicate with you. So, make sure that your reply is as fast as possible (at least within 24 hours). NextPax Travel Technology makes this a lot easier. With our Messaging Engine, where you can reply, auto-reply and read newly incoming messages, before and after the guest’s stay. Also aim to get positive guest reviews by making sure the property cleanliness standards are of high quality, essential amenities are there, accurate listing details are offered and you provide a smooth check-in. But above all, make sure you communicate with your guests, fast and personalized!
How Is Airbnb offering support?
Airbnb offers both a host resource centre where all useful information can be found, and a host community hub where hosts can share information with each other. Also, their YouTube channel contains all how-to video’s specifically catering accommodation services and 24/7 support is available in your language.
How can I become an Airbnb Superhost?
In order to become an Airbnb Superhost, your account and accommodations need to meet the following requirements:
- You need to have received over 10 reservations.
- Maintain a 90% response rate or higher.
- Maintain a low cancellation rate (1 cancellation per 100 reservations).
- Maintain an overall rating of 4.8 or higher
Airbnb will assess all hosts that are meeting these standards and provide the SuperHost status on a quarterly basis.
Does Airbnb also offer long-term stays?
Yes! Airbnb is now able to offer 90-day stays.
How can I connect my host account with NextPax?
Simply login to your Airbnb host account and click on the link provided by your NextPax commercial contact. It will immediately sync your host account with NextPax, and we are ready to automatically take care of your accommodations.
I have multiple properties to manage, how can this be done efficiently?
The NextPax channel manager software allows you to build, manage and control an unlimited amount of accommodations at the same time from our system. We sync all the details of your accommodations over our connection with Airbnb. No more manual work to be done in their Host Accounts.
When will Airbnb provide my payout?
Because Airbnb takes the payment from the guest, they also pay the hosts their income, minus their commission. So this payout is not going through NextPax as it’s done directly with you by Airbnb. Airbnb typically releases your payout 24 hours after your guest’s scheduled check-in time. And if your guest is staying for 28 or more nights, payouts for that reservation are released monthly. In order to receive the payout – please make sure your pay-out method is set up correctly in the Airbnb Host Account.
NextPax provides a two way certified connection towards Airbnb.
