The Airbnb Channel: Activate, Sync, and Manage Your Bookings

If you’re on Private Chef Manager Pro, you can connect the Airbnb channel to receive Airbnb Experiences requests right alongside your Take a Chef requests — all in one place.

What the Airbnb channel is

The Airbnb channel lets Pro chefs offer their services on Airbnb Experiences and manage those bookings inside Private Chef Manager, so your requests, calendar, and messages all live together.

What you need first

  • An active Private Chef Manager Pro subscription.
  • A complete, approved profile (photos, bio, at least 3 menus, and up-to-date availability).

How to activate and sync

1. Log in to Private Chef Manager and open the Channels section. On a computer, Channels is in the menu on the left of your dashboard. On a phone, open the menu at the bottom of the screen, tap More and then Channels.

2. Find the Airbnb channel and follow the connection steps. For a full walkthrough, watch our step-by-step video.

 

3. Keep your availability and calendar in sync so Airbnb shows the right open dates.

 

Note: Airbnb listings can take several days or even weeks to be reviewed and approved before they go live. This step is managed together with our specialized team.

Bookings and fees

  • Airbnb requests appear in your request manager marked with the Airbnb source.
  • A 2.9% service fee applies to bookings made through partner connections like Airbnb. This does not apply to your Take a Chef bookings.

If you don’t see the channel, or need to sync or disconnect

If you don't see the Airbnb channel, check that your Pro subscription is active and your profile is complete and approved. Airbnb Services is only available in certain countries.

If your address isn't accepted, enter a more detailed address (building and street, area and city) and select one of the suggestions from the dropdown list.

If the last step doesn't let you send your listing for review, check that:


• Your listing has 19 photos or fewer.
• Google Calendar is not linked to your Airbnb listing. To check, go to Airbnb → Calendar → Availability → Connected calendars.
• If the page keeps loading, wait about 1 minute and refresh.

Disconnecting the Airbnb channel does not delete your Airbnb listing or cancel confirmed bookings. One Airbnb account connects to one Private Chef Manager profile, and the minimum booking amount is set in Airbnb.

What Airbnb handles, not Private Chef Manager

Some things happen inside Airbnb, and only Airbnb can see and decide them. If you have a problem with any of these, contact Airbnb support directly from your Airbnb account:

• A message that was blocked or flagged, or a warning about a possible violation of Airbnb's rules.
• Restrictions, security or fraud checks on your Airbnb account.
• Payments for Airbnb bookings. Airbnb pays you directly, on its own payout schedule.
• Reviews on Airbnb. They are managed by Airbnb and don't count towards your Private Chef Manager score.
• Cancelling an Airbnb booking. Airbnb bookings are cancelled through Airbnb, and Airbnb's own cancellation policy applies.

Private Chef Manager can't see or change decisions made by Airbnb. For an unconfirmed Airbnb booking, message the guest only inside Airbnb.

If the problem is with the connection between Private Chef Manager and Airbnb (connecting, syncing, or sending your listing for review), our team can look into it.
