From The starting point it has reached 21000 guest’s stay and helped over 6 million of people per year and currently it lists 90 different countries. Airbnb is an online market place where people can rent their properties or spare rooms to guest. Airbnb takes commission from both guest and host 3% from hosts and 6 to 12 % from guest. There is huge option for renting properties. People like it so much because they get accommodation at a huge range price point. Many guests like living like a local and getting restaurant recommendations from people really in-the-know, while many hosts just enjoy meeting new people and showing off their home.
By using the Airbnb, the Airbnb is not owned any property rather it takes commission from both guest and host. Even Airbnb does not provide any services to guest or manage any services. When a guest became a member of the Airbnb it just provides the services to find rental houses.
Both Advantages and disadvantage are available to Airbnb. It is a chance of earning some extra money for the host but it has some problem too. Guest may cause serious damage to the property. Therefor, security is a prime concern. So, the following advantage may get both host and guest

Airbnb Bangladesh

Airbnb is operating their activities in Bangladesh. Airbnb is quietly doing a different type of tourism in Bangladesh tourist can stay at local and can get better experiences of the country and the culture. Rental room from Airbnb varies from single room to full houses. The local community can earn much money by selling rooms to the guest. On the other hand, guest can easily find the places where they can stay. The cost of rentals on Airbnb depends on location, facilities and living arrangement at properties. If anyone want to enjoy the water show of Hatirjheel lake sitting in a penthouse, housed on the seventh floor of a building, it would cost Tk2,000 for a single room there. But, if anyone has a big family and the demand is for a modern and homely luxury three-bed apartment next to Gulshan area, it would cost Tk4,700. Although it works in the Dhaka city. It may increase the area by talking the permission from the government or authorities.
Airbnb Dhaka has over 300 places ready for the guest. Guest may rent them easily giving prices to host. The room varies from single room to double room even the entire places. Even the charge varies from 10 dollars to 1000 dollars. Guest can also choose other option like host language, facilities etc. Guests directly go to the Airbnb website and register themselves for renting the places.



Security Comparison between Airbnb and the hotel
As Airbnb is the largest online hospitality services mainly for lodging to the guest. So, some people are saying that government should monitor the this a hotel with rules and regulation. Airbnb mainly sets connection between hosts and guest and takes commission from both of them. In some areas Airbnb is better than the hotel like negotiation of prices, less costly, experiences life as local and so on.
Security issue is a great concern in this matter. Guest may come from various places so host may not know them well. If anything happened bad the Airbnb is not liable for this.
In this regard, hotel ensures all the security but in case of Airbnb the security issue depends on the host. 
As Airbnb continues to grow in popularity, it has become an increasingly viable source of lodging for travelers as well as providing extra income for hosts. However, prospective hosts and travelers should exercise caution, particularly when it comes to potential legal concerns.
