Step 1 of 6
Bookings: nights times the price of a night
By the end of this step: build Gross Booking Value from nights and the price of a night, start 2026 from the filed first half, and keep it apart from revenue.
Airbnb files Nights and Seats Booked and Gross Booking Value in Item 7 of its 10-K as key business metrics, untagged: 533m nights and $91,273m in 2025. GBV over nights gives $171.24 a night, a derived figure, because Airbnb files no annual price per night and rounds nights to the million.
GBV is what guests booked, counted when they book and net of cancellations, with host earnings, cleaning fees and taxes in it. It is not revenue, and nothing on the Reported sheet treats it as such: the four regions’ GBV must add to the total, and the Checks sheet holds that sum for every filed year.
The forecast starts FY2026E from the first half of 2026 as filed in the 10-Q, 305m nights and $56,434m of GBV, and adds a second half grown from 2025’s at the case’s assumed rates. From FY2027E, GBV is nights times the price of a night, each grown at a rate that is a judgement of this page.
