How booking and reservations work

Managing employee travel can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s where you can find important info—like how to navigate company reservations—so you and your team can focus on staying productive.

Booking travel

If your company is part of Airbnb for Work, Airbnb allows a trip planner to request a reservation on another employee’s behalf. If they book, the business traveler will receive a notification about the requested reservation and can accept or deny the request.

Managing reservations

As an Airbnb for Work admin, you can monitor the status of bookings for employee work trips through the Airbnb for Work dashboard. You’ll be able to find out if any of these bookings require your attention, just in case you have to help resolve issues like Host cancellations and incomplete reservations.
