When you click the BargainBnB icon on an Airbnb listing, our 'Airbnb Negotiator' analyzes the listing price and suggests an ideal offer price (typically 10-20% off). You can adjust the price with a slider, preview the pre-written message, and then continue to Airbnb to send it to the host.

Users save an average of 25% on their bookings, which translates to about $147 per booking. Some users save hundreds of dollars on luxury properties or longer stays.
