O Airbnb is launching a category that harks back to the app’s origins. It’s regarding “Rooms” (“Rooms” in Portuguese), which focuses on renting rooms through the platform. In addition, the session comes with features that allow the user to view more information regarding the host.

This function was called “Host Passports” (or “Host Passports“) that can be of great help when searching for a rental alternative. After all, with it it is possible to know if the person has confirmed their identity, email and phone number with the application.

The platform also ensures that all available options will display information regarding whether or not the room has a lock, whether the bathrooms are shared and whether there are more people in the house besides the host. In summary, the resource is part of an action by the app to make hosting costs cheaper.
