JAKARTA - Ahead of the year-end holidays, Airbnb has launched several updates on its platform, including new social features at Airbnb Experiences that allow guests to be more connected during and after travel.

Airbnb Experiences is designed to make the people involved as important as its activities. Now, Airbnb is introducing new social features, including:

In addition, Airbnb also rolled out a number of updates, including easier searches. So, when looking for lodging, you will see more lodging options.

For example, Airbnb will display lodging at similar prices, different facilities, or lodging in nearby cities at lower prices, so you can find attractive options that you may not know before.

In addition, there is also a more sophisticated roadmap update, which allows you to filter famous buildings, tourist attractions, restaurants, and others around the location easily.

There is also an update to the Message Now, Pay Later, which will allow you to book an inn without paying a down payment. This feature was launched in the US earlier this year, and starting next year, this feature will be available worldwide for domestic and international travel.

Finally, Airbnb also launched the most requested feature so that the host can be more flexible and gain more insight, such as a more dynamic cancellation policy, price tips for the next year, and income trends from year to year.
