.airbnb Domain

The .airbnb domain extension serves Airbnb, Inc., a community marketplace where consumers list and book unique accommodations, services, and experiences. A brand extension matters for a marketplace like this because guests act on listings and pay for stays, so they need to know a page is genuine.

Domains under this extension are used for showing listings directly to Airbnb users. Registration is limited to Airbnb, its affiliates, and trademark licensees, so the extension is restricted. Every site goes through a review and approval step, and only approved content goes up. Airbnb also controls the DNS records at every level, so it can take content down at any time. For Airbnb, an extension built this way keeps listing pages under one set of rules and gives guests a dependable way to tell real pages from copies.
