Airbnb Onboarding Checklist

Step-based onboarding flow - The process is broken into clear steps. Start with the basics, set the scene, get ready for guests. this sequencing keeps the task manageable and provides users with a mental model of what lies ahead.

Visual progress bar - Progress bars help users visualize their advancement through the onboarding steps. this reduces drop-off by giving them a sense of movement and progress.

Single call to action - The interface focuses the user’s attention on a single action - “continue”. This reduces decision fatigue and keeps them focused on completing the current task.

Contextual earning insight - The tooltip in the bottom corner shows a real-time earning estimate: “in a week, hosts sharing their private room in rangali are earning: $89.” this gives users a tangible sense of what’s possible, tying the action of onboarding to a financial outcome.

Personalization by location - The earnings are hyper-local, suggesting that the estimate is tailored to the user’s context. this increases relevance and motivation to complete the process.

Friendly visual cues - The illustration of a hand holding flowers softens the interface and makes the experience feel welcoming. it conveys the idea of hospitality and care—core to the airbnb brand.
