Welcome guide · For partners

Welcome to Localbird.

Localbird partners with hosts like you to turn every stay into an unforgettable story. We connect your guests with curated local experiences, provide 24/7 concierge support and handle the booking, support, and payments. Localbird helps you earn more from every guest, with zero extra work.

Here’s everything you need to get set up, understand what your guests see, and grow your earnings.

01
