Looking to book last-minute?

To help you make the best choice for your last-minute bookings, we’ve also rounded up some tips:

• Look out for homes with a quality highlight: Homes with a golden trophy and Guest Favorites badge on Airbnb indicate top-rated listings based on ratings, reviews, and reliability. These badges highlight the top 1 percent, 5 percent, or 10 percent of listings. Paris is among the top 20 locations with the most top 10 percent listings⁴.
• Browse the New Category: The ‘New’ category on Airbnb provides you the very latest Airbnb properties. Homes in this category have been added to the platform in the last 10 weeks. When Airbnb hosts list their stay for the first time, they often set attractive prices.
• Find a place with accessibility features: Guests with reduced mobility can find and book listings by using our dedicated accessibility search filters, browsing the Adapted Category and visiting our dedicated Paris 2024 home page. Every accessibility feature added by hosts has been reviewed and confirmed by Airbnb, with each listing featuring photos of the confirmed features to help guests determine if a listing meets their unique needs.
