Not all Airbnb guests are vacationers. In fact, some of the most reliable, high-paying guests are corporate travelers—people in town for work, training, relocation, or extended assignments. These guests stay longer, cause fewer issues, and often book multiple times. So how do you position your Airbnb to attract corporate bookings instead of just weekend getaways? Here’s how to set it up for success.
1. Optimize Your Listing for Mid-Term and Business Travel
Corporate clients often look for 30+ day stays or consistent weekday availability.
Update your Airbnb listing to include:
- “Ideal for business travel, relocation, or extended stays”
- Minimum stay of 7+ or 30+ days (depending on your strategy)
- Monthly discount to make pricing more attractive
- Key terms like “corporate housing,” “relocation stay,” or “business-ready” in your title and description
The language you use filters the audience you attract.
2. List on Corporate-Friendly Platforms
Don’t rely on Airbnb alone. Add your property to platforms that specialize in professional and extended stays:
- Furnished Finder (great for travel nurses and contractors)
- Blueground and Landing (curated for corporate housing)
- Zillow and Kijiji (if offering 30+ day terms)
- Facebook Marketplace and relocation groups
- Consider building a direct booking site if you plan to grow
The more visibility you have, the better your chances of landing repeat corporate clients.
3. Set Up the Space for Work and Comfort
Corporate guests prioritize function and consistency. Make sure your unit includes:
- Fast Wi-Fi (minimum 100 Mbps)
- Dedicated workspace with a desk and ergonomic chair
- Smart TV with streaming apps
- Iron, ironing board, and laundry essentials
- Blackout curtains and quality bedding
- Fully stocked kitchen with real cooking tools—not just takeout basics
Bonus: Leave coffee, tea, and snacks as a welcome touch. Business travelers notice professionalism.
4. Offer Flexible Terms and Direct Invoicing
Companies may request:
- Net 15 or Net 30 payment terms
- Digital receipts or invoicing
- Proof of insurance
- Flexible check-in/out windows for late flights
Be prepared to work with HR departments, assistants, or travel coordinators—not just the guest.
5. Build Relationships With Local Employers and Agencies
Proactively reach out to:
- Construction firms, engineering teams, and consultants working on local projects
- Hospitals hiring travel nurses
- Colleges, film crews, or training centers
- Insurance companies looking for temporary relocation housing
Create a PDF or short pitch that showcases your unit, amenities, availability, and why your place works for professionals. Keep it simple, visual, and direct.
6. Keep the Unit Neutral and Hotel-Like
Corporate housing isn’t about bold personality—it’s about comfort and cleanliness.
- Use neutral tones, minimalist decor, and clutter-free design
- Provide extra linens and towels
- Offer bi-weekly or monthly cleanings as an add-on service
Think: “clean, quiet, and convenient”—not quirky Airbnb loft.
7. Set Up Systems to Minimize Turnover Stress
Since these stays are longer, make them smooth:
- Offer digital lease or rental agreements (for 30+ day bookings)
- Use smart locks with auto-expiring codes
- Automate cleaning reminders or mid-stay check-ins
This saves you time while making the guest feel supported.
8. Encourage Companies to Book Again
After a successful stay, send a thank-you email and let them know you're available for future bookings.
- “We’d love to host your next out-of-town team member. Let us know if you have more projects coming up.”
Building a relationship = recurring revenue without needing to market constantly.
Corporate Guests = Steady Income + Less Drama
They don’t party, they rarely cancel, and they pay well for convenience. If you’re ready to level up your hosting, targeting business travelers is one of the smartest long-term strategies you can use.
