Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.

The Community you will join

Airbnb's Community Support (CS) Delivery team is dedicated to providing world-class support experiences for our global community of hosts and guests. Delivery works hand-in-hand with a network of partners and services around the world, ensuring every interaction reflects Airbnb's commitment to quality, trust and care.
