Does this comply with Airbnb’s terms of service?

Yes. Airbnb’s policy explicitly permits “optional apps that facilitate a guest’s experience during the stay” — it names Sonos, Nest, and concierge apps as examples. CohostAI is exactly that: an optional guest-experience app guests open via a link or QR to get instant answers. It doesn’t require payment or property access, and it doesn’t auto-send in your Airbnb inbox — reply drafts wait for your review, so you stay in control of the conversations that matter.

What if my property is in a rural or small town?

We scan up to 10 surrounding zip codes to surface the best restaurants, trails, and gems within driving distance. Most rural hosts get 40+ quality recommendations.

Can I edit or customize what the AI picks?

Yes. Add your own favorites, write host tips, remove places you don’t love, and mark your top picks with a Host Pick badge. Your cohost only answers from what you’ve saved and confirmed.

Will my guests actually use it?

Every guide includes built-in analytics — you’ll see opens, clicks, and which places guests tap on. Most hosts see strong engagement in the first 24 hours after sharing.

Is there a free plan?

You can build, edit, and test CohostAI for free with no credit card. Publishing a guest link or using the live AI cohost requires one paid license per property at $9/month or $79/year; drafts stay saved either way.

What happens if I cancel?

Your cohost and guest guide stay live through the end of the period you’ve paid for. After that the guest link pauses — nothing is deleted, and everything comes back if you resubscribe.

A local guide already taking shape

Start from 32 curated places around Durban, ZA, then choose the recommendations that fit your guests.

Restaurants & cafés

9th Avenue Waterside
Durban's most-awarded fine-dining address, now in a waterside Morningside spot — the six-course tasting menu is the destination dinner, with locally sourced seasonal seafood and a kitchen that has held the city's top ranking for over two decades.

Dukkah Restaurant & Bar
Upmarket Florida Road room drawing its menu down the East African spice route — Northern African and Mediterranean flavours, grills and a strong vegetarian list, in a design-led space. The destination dinner on the Morningside strip.

Trails & outdoors

uMhlanga Coastal Walk
Eight-kilometre sealed promenade along the uMhlanga coast from Granada Square south to the lighthouse and pier and back. The cleanest walking surface in the area and the easiest way to cover the coast.

Krantzkloof Nature Reserve Trails
Gorge nature reserve in Kloof, west of central Durban — multiple loop trails from gentle 2km to a 13km gorge circuit, plus a waterfall lookout, lots of monkeys.

Things to do

uMhlanga Sharks Board
Research institute that runs the shark nets along the KwaZulu-Natal coast; the public audiovisual presentation and shark dissection (with body parts that don't ID a species, fortunately) is a Durban tradition.

Suncoast Casino & Entertainment World
Beachfront entertainment complex with a casino, cinemas, comedy club, beachfront restaurants and a private beach. The night-out fallback when the weather is bad.

Landmarks & sights

Moses Mabhida Stadium
The 2010 World Cup venue with the iconic 350m white arch spanning the bowl. SkyCar to the top of the arch is the easy way; the 550-step Adventure Walk is the cheaper, harder version. The Big Swing pendulum off the arch is a real adrenaline option.

uShaka Marine World
Africa's largest marine theme park at the south end of the Golden Mile — a serious aquarium built into a fake shipwreck, a water park, dolphin shows, restaurants. Half a day with kids, longer if you do the slides.
