Someone from Airbnb will visit your house for the inspection and evaluate it using this checklist. If anything falls short of the need, you will have an opportunity to make the necessary changes, so don't panic if you don't meet every criterion.

When staying in an Airbnb Plus property, visitors must pay the nightly rate, a service charge, and any applicable local taxes. Additionally, you might charge visitors a fee for cleaning or a security deposit. Although most Plus hosts don't charge extra for their top-notch accommodations, the fact that your listing will be more noticeable on the results page and has a trust symbol like the Plus badge usually means that you can fill your calendar more quickly because guests are more likely to choose a Plus property over a regular one for the guaranteed exceptional experience.
