Aeion Hospitality + Airbnb
Airbnb dominates short-term rentals globally; increasingly competes with hotels for unique stays (boutique, luxury, glamping). Aeion's Airbnb integration works via Airbnb's REST API — calendar + pricing sync, reservation pull via signature-verified webhooks, guest messaging integration with the WhatsApp AI Concierge.
What Connects

Sync Mechanics
- Calendar + inventory push: Aeion updates each listing's available dates and pricing via Airbnb's REST API. Updates are idempotent — resending the same state is always safe, so a retried request never causes drift.
Common Patterns

FAQ
Airbnb takes ~15% from the host (split: 3% host service fee + ~12% guest service fee). Aeion doesn't add markup; passthrough.
Either. Airbnb's Smart Pricing is opt-in; reasonable starting point. Aeion's revenue-management engine goes deeper — comp-set tracking, event detection, demand forecasting. Choose per-listing.
Yes. An Airbnb message arrives via webhook, and Aeion's AI concierge classifies intent and either auto-responds or escalates to staff. It's bidirectional — the AI's response pushes back into the Airbnb thread.
Aeion respects Airbnb's host hierarchy. Co-hosts get appropriate Aeion roles (housekeeper, maintenance, etc.) with mapped permissions.
Reviews live on Airbnb's side; reply to them from the Airbnb host dashboard as usual. Aeion's guest-messaging and post-stay follow-up flows help you prompt guests to leave one.
AirCover (Airbnb's insurance product) operates on Airbnb's side; Aeion tracks the damage incident on your side but the claim runs through Airbnb's flow.
Aeion's pricing engine can apply per-listing rules. Common: premium listings (higher rate, less price-sensitivity); budget listings (volume-priced, higher availability).
Aeion can't reactivate; that's Airbnb's policy decision. Aeion's calendar stops pushing to that listing until resolved.
Airbnb collects + remits occupancy tax in many jurisdictions (varies). Aeion's tax engine knows which jurisdictions Airbnb handles so it never double-collects.
Yes — Vrbo is part of Expedia Group and syncs through Aeion's Vrbo/Expedia connection. Most VR managers list on both Airbnb + Vrbo.
