  • New offerings include bookable private chefs, spa treatments, personal training sessions, and personalised photography, among other services.
  • These services are being rolled out across numerous destinations, with an aim to expand into 260 cities, and can be booked independently of an Airbnb stay.
  • Airbnb has also launched a 'Reserve Now, Pay Later' feature in the UK, enabling guests to book accommodation and defer payment until closer to the cancellation period.
