How to open an account and add an apartment on Airbnb? A practical guide
What does opening an account and listing an apartment on Airbnb look like?
If your apartment is almost ready to rent, it's worth starting to create listings on well-known portals such as Airbnb. Publishing there gives you quick access to your first bookings. In this article, we explain step by step how to sign up and list an apartment on Airbnb.
Registering an Airbnb account
The Airbnb registration process is simple and similar to other platforms, but it requires a few key steps:
- Create an account: When signing up, provide your phone number and e-mail address and have your ID card ready. Airbnb will ask for a scan of it to verify your identity.
- Complete your Host profile: It's worth adding a photo, which builds the trust of potential guests.
- Install the Airbnb app on your phone: This will make it easier to manage bookings and communicate with guests.

How to add a listing?
- Photos: They are key to an attractive listing. If you don't feel confident taking professional photos, consider hiring a photographer. You can also use the Airbnb Plus service, where the platform commissions a professional photo shoot.
-
Listing details: Describe the apartment in detail – the number of rooms and bathrooms, amenities (internet, parking, dishwasher, etc.). Remember to include safety features such as a fire extinguisher or gas detectors.
-
Pricing and calendar: Set the prices and availability of the apartment. It is important to update the calendar regularly and to synchronize it with other platforms to avoid double bookings.
Host dashboard
The Airbnb dashboard is easier to use than those of other platforms, such as Booking.com. Although it doesn't offer as many search filter options, Airbnb is still the second-largest platform, which means great booking potential for your apartment.
To sum up: It's worth listing your apartment on Airbnb. It is an intuitive platform, and a well-prepared listing with attractive photos and complete amenities will certainly attract guests.
