Perk has integrated Airbnb's API, enabling travellers to book and manage Airbnb stays within the Perk platform.
With the integration, business travellers using Perk, formerly known as TravelPerk before rebranding in 2025, can view live Airbnb listings in the platform's Stay tab as well as filter by availability and pricing.
Airbnb bookings can be managed within the TMC’s platform and companies can apply the same policy controls as with other bookings in the platform, according to Perk.
Previously, Perk clients who wanted to include Airbnb listings could have them booked manually through the TMC’s concierge service.
With that option, Perk reported that nights booked on Airbnb have increased 94 per cent over the past two years globally — largely for whole homes and apartments by employees traveling for project-based work. This demand was even higher in the UK with a 165 per cent since 2024.
“We've brought Airbnb listings inside Perk, right where they already book work travel,” said Perk’s president of product and technology Nikita Miller in a statement. “Travellers can book the stay that fits the trip, and finance teams keep full control, so nobody has to choose between the two.”
Perk said the average stay for its Airbnb bookings was nine nights, which was more than four times the length of an average hotel stay. The TMC added that growing demand for Airbnb properties was mostly from mid-market and large organisations, particularly in sectors such as professional services and manufacturing.
