It’s never too early to start thinking about your next family vacation. In fact, now is the perfect time, according to data from Airbnb.
The rental company compiled a report based on its financial findings from the fourth quarter of 2022 to highlight that families save more when booking on the platform.
“Families can get an Airbnb with two bedrooms and two bathrooms for approximately the price of one hotel room at a major chain,” the report stated. It also claimed that more than half of families stayed between two and six nights, while nearly half stayed for a week or longer.
“Family travel is booming on Airbnb. Globally, family travel on our platform is up 60 percent in 2022 compared to before the pandemic in 2019, with over 15 million check-ins in nearly 90,000 destinations. Many of those families likely booked Airbnb listings because of the value and space they received compared to what hotel rooms offer.”
The report noted that fall and winter are the most affordable times for families to book their vacations. Reservations during October, November, and December all averaged less than $50 per person, per night, globally, according to the data.
And if you’re going on vacation to rest, you might want to consider an Airbnb. A survey by the Sleep Foundation found that 66.9% of travelers saying they got at least 7 hours of shut eye in a vacation rental, compared to 53.8% in a hotel or motel.
