Marketplace for short-term home and room rentals with over 7 million listings across nearly every country in the world.
What is Airbnb?
Is Airbnb down? Airbnb is a global online marketplace for short-term lodging and experiences, founded in San Francisco in 2008. It connects travelers with hosts who rent out private rooms, entire homes, and unique accommodations across more than 220 countries and regions. With over 7 million active listings and hundreds of millions of guest arrivals since founding, Airbnb fundamentally transformed the travel and hospitality industry and went public on the Nasdaq in December 2020.
Airbnb's platform handles the entire booking lifecycle: search, discovery, real-time availability checking, payment processing, host-guest messaging, and review management. Travel booking periods — holidays, long weekends, and summer months — generate massive transaction spikes. An Airbnb outage during a popular booking window can prevent travelers from securing accommodations or hosts from accepting reservations, with immediate financial consequences for both.
Airbnb is down or not working — users commonly report search results failing to load or returning errors, calendar availability not reflecting correctly, payment processing failures at checkout, the Airbnb messaging system going down, or Host dashboard access issues. Mobile app crashes during travel periods are frequently reported during high-demand events.
If Airbnb is down, Outage.gg tracks Airbnb server status and outage history in real time using community reports. If Airbnb is not loading or you are unable to complete a booking, check the live status page to see whether others are affected and get notified when the platform is restored.
