How To fix Airbnb Error Code 500?


Fix 1: Check if your IP has been blocked

There may be times, when you would be seeing the following Airbnb error code 500, as a result of a blocked IP by Airbnb. 

If the IP address you are using has been blocked by Airbnb servers. Then, such an issue can appear quite frequently than you would expect. 

In such cases, to check whether your IP has indeed been actually blocked or not. You can change and connect to a different connection, such as your cellular network and check if the error still occurs. 

If the error does not show up when connected to a different network. Then, it would not be wrong to assume that your previous IP address might have been blocked by Airbnb, and that is what is causing the Error Code 500 to occur.

You can also change your current IP address by using a VPN service or app, if you do not have a different network to connect to. And if doing so, allows you to list your property without the error message showing up on your screens. It is just obvious then, that a blocked IP address is the reason causing the following error to occur.


Fix 2: Try logging in with a different browser

Browser incompatibility can also, at times, be responsible for such an error to occur. And if that is what is happening in your case. Then, switching to a different browser can be a good walk around to get your listings done, without being prevented to do so by the following 500 Airbnb error message. 

Simply, login to your Airbnb account with a different browser and try listing your property there. If the error does not show up. Then, you can be sure that problem lies in your previous browser and you can wait it out for the next updates to come up and the problem to get resolved on its own with newer patches or changes to the website.

Browser cache can be a major reason responsible for causing the following error to occur. Hence, it is important and a good idea to clear up your browser cache and cookies on a regular basis, to prevent such errors from occuring.

Still, just to make life a little simpler. I have summarized a list of some of the most popular browsers out there and links to guide on how to clear up such browsers. 


Fix 4: Update browser

Updating your browser can also, at times, help get rid of the error message, if it is something caused as a result of an outdated browser app.

Still, to save you time. I have put forward a list of some of the most widely used browsers out there and links to guides on how to go on updating them.
