Airbnb works best for long stays (1+ week), group trips needing a full kitchen, or finding a truly local experience in residential neighbourhoods. IMPT is the better choice when you want guaranteed quality, hotel amenities, easy cancellation, and — uniquely — carbon removal on your booking.
For city breaks, business travel, or any trip under a week, a hotel on IMPT will typically match or beat an Airbnb on value once you account for Airbnb's cleaning fees, service charges, and the absence of housekeeping.
Airbnb advertises low nightly rates but adds cleaning fees (typically £30–120 per stay), Airbnb service charges (up to 14.2% of the booking), and sometimes additional guest fees. A "£90/night" Airbnb can cost £140/night once all fees are applied — often more than an equivalent hotel on IMPT.
IMPT prices match what you'd pay booking the hotel directly. No surprise fees at checkout.
