When should I lower Airbnb price?
Airbnb recommends a slightly lower price for new listings until they start getting some reviews and climbing up in rankings. 30% is considered a good strategic discount. So, if you're new to Airbnb, don't be afraid to underprice your rental at first.
When you turn on Smart Pricing, your nightly prices automatically change based on demand. This is a helpful tool if you want to optimize pricing without constantly monitoring it.
If you want to ask for a discount before you book, the only way is to ask via the messaging service on the website. That's because you won't get the hosts phone number until after you book. So the best way to ask up-front is through the website.

Airbnb Smart Pricing works with an algorithm using specific insights and metrics to suggest the optimal pricing for your listings. The tool is able to analyze the data relevant to each listing and set your prices based on the results.
Because some Hosts have custom prices that override the default or minimum price for specific dates or time periods (including holidays, weekends, and week-long or month-long reservations). If your Host updates the pricing for their place before you request the change, your new reservation will reflect this pricing.
How many days in advance can you book Airbnb?
Airbnb does partner with other loyalty programs, though, so you can earn airline miles on your next Airbnb stay. How early you can book: Once you click on a listing, the booking calendar will allow you to reserve a room up to three years in advance. However, many hosts do not allow dates this far into the future.
Keeping your calendar up to date is important: The more dates you have available, up to 2 years in advance, the more options guests have to choose from. You can use your calendar and booking settings to strike a balance between providing plenty of availability for guests and setting a schedule that works for you.
