Quora is a social network for asking questions. It can be lots of fun. Feel free to connect with me there. I like to help people with Airbnb related questions. Here’s my answer to the Quora question: Is it worth negotiating an Airbnb’s bookings price every time?

Is it worth negotiating an Airbnb's bookings price every time?

Answer:

As a host, for me it’s not worth it.

I have instant booking installed. So if you want to book my place at my price it’s only one click away. If you want to haggle I’m not really interested. I get enough bookings as it is.

In fact, I send auto-replies to anyone who isn’t instant booking with a list of FAQ Answers. Included in this is my standard answer to “Can I get a discount”- no. Of course, my answer is politer than that!
