Airbnb Buddies is a new in-app feature that helps travelers and locals connect with others through shared Airbnb Experiences — so you don’t have to explore alone.

Each activity now comes with a built-in group chat, so you can talk to other guests before you book. Ask questions, make plans, or just see who else is going.

You can also view profiles with photos, hobbies, bios, and past Experiences — and even start one-on-one chats. If your friends join an activity, you’ll see that too, so you can link up in real life.
