Things to Consider when Planning Your Next Offsite at a Private Airbnb Rental

We’ve planned our fair share of offsites and have found there are two major categories of venues companies consider: the private rental or the hotel rental. When planning, consider the onsite experience you’d like your team to experience AND the planning logistics leading up to it. We’ve pulled together a few helpful things to consider when choosing a private rental option, specifically through Airbnb.

‍

Pros: 

• Cost-effective option for small teams
• Diversity in interior design
• Lots of options to choose from

Cons:

• It is impossible to guarantee quality and services
• There is no on-site person to mitigate issues
• Unreliable WiFi = unproductive offsite

Because you don’t have full control over everything in the space and there’s the opportunity for things to go arry, it you’re looking for some unique options, consider:

• A local bed and breakfast
• A funky boutique hotel
• A private rental with onsite or nearby management

These options give the same close-knit feel, while guaranteeing the minimum needs for a productive and successful offsite!

Still love the idea of the cool and unique treehouse Airbnb? Always come prepared and: 

• Bring a WiFi hotspot
• Only book with Superhosts
• Ask the host questions prior to determine responsiveness
