Airbnb New Listing Promotion

The new listing promotion allow to get your first bookings faster on Airbnb.

Written by Radina

Airbnb's new listing promotion lets hosts offer a 20% discount on eligible new listings. From 27 October 2026, the promotion ends once the listing gets 3 reviews or 10 bookings, whichever comes first. Before that date, it ended after the first 3 bookings.

What changes on 27 October 2026

  • The promotion ends after 3 reviews or 10 bookings, whichever comes first.

  • Bookings made more than 180 days ahead don't get the discount.

  • Promotions that are already running move to the new rules automatically on 27 October. Airbnb handles this, so you don't need to do anything.

  • Stays that were discounted when they were booked keep their discount, even if the listing reaches 3 reviews first.

Airbnb decides which listings are eligible. Smart pricing must be turned off. To see which of your Airbnb listings are eligible, go here.


Benefits:

This promotion gives you the ability to:

  • Make your listings stand out by merchandising discounts to guests. This is a great way to make your listings stand out—especially during shoulder seasons.

  • Increase the occupancy of your listings eligible for the promotion;

  • Attract new guests and help you get 3 new reviews of your listings you need for a star rating.


The 20% Discount of your listings will be highlighted by adding:

  • A new line item on your price breakdown;

  • A spot in the emails Airbnb send to guests;

  • A message on your listing page that highlights the deal you're offering;

  • Strikethrough price in Airbnb search results and on the listing page itself.


Important information:

  • You can activate the "New Listing Promotion" when creating a new listing;

  • You can also turn it on for an existing listing, as long as Airbnb still considers it eligible;

  • When a new listing is created, this option is always "ON" by default. However, you can toggle it OFF if you'd like to.
