Secure your accommodation

O Airbnb offers up to 20% off for those booking stays of more than three nights. This condition, which used to be practiced by only a few hosts, is now appearing more and more frequently on the platform - and has become an attraction for those looking to travel economically, without giving up the comfort and freedom that Airbnb usually provides.

The discount appears automatically during the search, without the need for coupons or specific dates. In other words, it's an advantage that can be taken advantage of at any time of the year, as long as the host has configured this condition in the property. And the good news is that, by 2025, this type of discount will be much more common.

How does the extended stay discount work?

When searching for accommodation on the Airbnb website or app, simply enter dates with at least four per diems. The system automatically filters out options whose hosts offer progressive discounts. The most common is:

  • 10% off for 3 nights or more
  • 15% off for 5 nights or more
  • Up to 20% off for 7 nights or more

But the most recent promotion, which is gaining prominence, is for stays starting from three nights, with discounts of up to 20% applied directly to the final tariff.

Do you need to activate anything to get the discount?

No. This promotion appears automatically. If the host has activated the duration discount function, you will see the phrase "discount for longer stays" just below the daily rate.

When you select the accommodation and simulate the dates, the total price will already be discounted. You don't need to enter any code, take part in any promotion or be part of the loyalty program.

What types of property are included in the promotion?

All types of accommodation can participate, as long as the host has activated the discount per stay. Among those offering the most 20% off for three nights or moreare:

  • Entire apartments in tourist towns
  • Holiday homes on beaches and in the countryside
  • Lofts and studios for couples
  • Chalets and cabins in rural areas
  • Hostels and private suites in urban residences

The advantage applies to both basic and more sophisticated properties. What changes is the final price of the reservation, which can be considerably reduced - especially when combined with other advantages, such as a reduced service charge or a discount for specific dates.

In which cities is it easier to find this discount?

O Airbnb offers up to 20% off more frequently in medium-sized and large destinations, where competition between hosts is greater. Among the places where this condition appears most frequently are:

  • São Paulo (capital and interior)
  • Rio de Janeiro
  • Belo Horizonte
  • Curitiba
  • Salvador
  • Recife
  • Florianópolis
  • Porto Seguro
  • Campos do Jordão
  • Gramado and Canela

In addition to Brazil, this type of discount is also common in cities in South America and Europe, especially during low season.

Why does Airbnb offer this kind of discount?

The idea is to stimulate longer staysThis reduces downtime, cuts down on cleaning costs between guests and helps the host maintain a more stable income. For the traveler, it's the chance to pay less per night, enjoy the destination more and even work remotely in greater comfort.

Many hosts have already understood this and have adjusted their offers, including better wi-fi, a work area and utensils for those who intend to stay longer.

Can I combine the discount with other promotions?

Yes. In some cases, it is possible to accumulate:

  • Long stay discount
  • Welcome coupon (for new users)
  • Lightning promotions (on specific dates)
  • Referral credit (when someone uses your link to sign up)

This can lead to considerable savings - in some cases, the final price of the reservation is up to 30% cheaper than would be the case with a conventional hotel reservation with separate rates.

How do you know if the discount is really worth it?

Simulate the same hosting with two nights and then with three or four. The daily rate usually drops when the discount is applied. Compare:

  • The final price with taxes included
  • The host's reputation
  • Reviews from previous guests
  • The location and extra benefits (such as equipped kitchen, laundry, parking)

Sometimes it's better to pay a little more for all-inclusive accommodation than to save money on a cramped, unstructured room.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancellation policies vary depending on the property. Many hosts work with free cancellation up to 5 days in advance of arrival. This means you can guarantee your booking with the discount, and if anything changes, you still have flexibility.

But be aware: the discount only applies if you stay for 3 nights or more. Canceling a night, for example, could void the benefit.

Is it really worth it?

Yes, especially if you're planning to spend more than three days in a destination. O Airbnb offers up to 20% off in a time slot that many travelers already use: Friday to Monday, short vacations, long vacations, etc.

As well as saving money, you get comfort, freedom of schedule, access to the kitchen and, in many cases, more privacy than in conventional hotels. For couples, families and even solo travelers who like autonomy, it's a sure-fire choice.
