“…Morales-Pérez et al. (2022a, b) found that Airbnb puts pressure on Spanish neighborhoods which displaces residents, Teruel-Gutierrez and Maté-Sánchez-Val (2021) also confirmed that “instagramable areas” tend to increase prices of Airbnb in the surrounding areas.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to address three research questions (1) Who is the main stakeholder that shapes Airbnb experience, (2) Does Airbnb offers an authentic travel experience? and (3) What should be the future research trends in Airbnb?Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses the systematic literature review (SLR) with a well-defined protocol, research strategy and methods to answer the research questions.FindingsThe review revealed that while Airbnb plays a significant role as the platform provider, the stakeholders influencing the experiences are multifaceted. Hosts, guests, local communities and even regulatory bodies all contribute to shaping the overall Airbnb Experience ecosystem. Hosts, in particular, have a crucial role in curating and delivering unique experiences, which significantly impacts the quality and authenticity of the offerings. On the question of whether Airbnb offers an authentic travel experience, the review uncovered mixed findings. For examples, some studies emphasized the potential for Airbnb to provide authentic and local experiences, allowing travelers to engage with the community and cultural aspects of a destination. However, other studies raised concerns about the commodification and standardization of experiences, leading to a potential loss of authenticity.Originality/valueThis paper is different from previous SLR where previous research systematically reviewed; motivations to use and choose Airbnb, institutionalization of Airbnb, stakeholders of Airbnb. This paper addresses authentic experience as a factor that influences activity participation.

“…We model next location by a set of proximity variables including distances to center, hotels or touristic attractions, to predict locational influences during the pandemic. While several studies indicate centrality and proximity to attractions as predictors for high prices and demand ( Wang & Nicolau, 2017 ; Gunter & Onder, 2018 ; Teruel-Gurierrez and Sanchez-Val 2021 ), we expect alterations in preferences during the pandemic. We define the center as the location of the central train station in all cities.…”

“…They find that while centrally located listings and entire apartments are listed at higher prices, each additional review per year decreases prices. Similarly, Teruel-Gurierrez and Sanchez-Val (2021) examine the locational determinants of listing prices in Barcelona, and find significant and positive effects of proximity to Instagram tourist spots and to the nearest underground stations (see also Cócola Gant, 2016 ; Guttentag, 2015 ; Guttentag et al, 2017 ; Gyódi & Nawaro, 2021 ; Oskam & Boswijk, 2016 ; Sheppard & Udell, 2016 ; Stors & Kagermeier, 2015 ). Therefore, the importance of geography seems to offer a meaningful proposition for Airbnb locations.…”

“… Prayag and Ozanne (2018) and Dolnicar (2019) published reviews of many studies conducted with Airbnb data. Thus, listing information and client evaluation is critical for the functioning of the Airbnb market (see also Teruel-Gutierrez & Maté-Sánchez-Val, 2021 ). Despite the above propositions on corona echo effects for Airbnb accomodations, the research on the effect of the COVID-19 outbreak on Airbnb market is still limited.…”

Purpose The sharing economy enables apartment owners to generate income from their assets. “Agoda Homes” is an online travel agent (OTA) that directly competes with Airbnb. A destination has to discover its competitiveness, but few studies have provided an overview of accommodation attributes in each destination, which are crucial to shaping its brand image. This paper aims to illustrate firm-generated content or attributes that apartment owners list about their properties on an OTA platform to comprehend factual information about apartments in each destination with various star ratings and user ratings and to formulate a research model for future studies. Design/methodology/approach Informational content and accommodation attributes for apartments are automatically collected using a Web scraping tool (the Data Miner). Descriptive statistics and text analysis (word cloud and word frequency) are used to analyze data. Findings Findings reveal the primary location, facilities, cleanliness and safety attributes for all apartments in each destination, along with star ratings and user ratings. A research framework for scholars is also suggested. Guidelines for stakeholders in the tourism industry are additionally furnished. Originality/value This work concentrates on apartments, which have received less attention in the tourism literature. The study gathers factual data from a website to mitigate respondent bias issues inherent in the traditional survey methods.
