Airbnbs have a significant role in the short-term rental market in Metro Manila as the country’s capital region plays host to a large portion of the working class, government facilities, and tourists. According to reports from analytics firms like Airbtics, Metro Manila has a large active listings count, estimated to be between 24,745 and over 40,422 listings as of early to mid-2025. This shows an occupancy rate of approximately 51% and generates an average daily rate of around ₱2,193, with the peak season for bookings typically being December.
According to reports from AirROI, Quezon City (QC) is also an active market with distinct characteristics. The city demonstrates occupancy rate of around 33% to 42% and is composed of smaller rental units, typically occupied by solo travelers and couples. The peak revenue months for the area are typically December, July, and May. Fortunately, these modern times are equipped with contemporary solutions. Window treatments for Airbnbs are functional as they are convenient. In this article, we’ll venture on combi blinds installed for our QC client’s Airbnb unit.
Combi blinds solve the biggest factors guests look for in a unit: light control, privacy, and sleep quality. These blinds are most known for their unique structure, with its alternating sheer and solid (or opaque) fabric stripes, perfectly aligned to Philippine climate and both the host and guests’ needs.
Light control is a breeze as guests can go from diffused light to complete coverage with these blinds. In the metro, typical check-in time is 2PM so during these hours, guests can align the sheer stripes to let in natural light without the harsh glare or excessive sunlight, instantly creating a softer, more welcoming ambiance. This contributes to making aesthetic daytime photos for posting while also helping reduce utility bills. When night arrives, and in a highly urbanized area like QC, guests can easily shift the stripes to overlap the solid panels to achieve a blackout effect.
Whether in a diffused setting or total blackout setup, guests can maintain their privacy and go on about their personal or professional agendas without having to worry for unwanted onlookers. This is crucial as one of the main reasons guests book their Airbnbs is to have personal spaces when they’re in the metro. Guest reviews also consistently highlight sleep quality as a top priority, and providing total darkness through functional blinds is the fastest way to earn excellent comments and ratings on comfort and convenience.
Now that we’ve checked all the boxes for Airbnb guest requirements, we can already conclude that combi blinds are the smartest update for these rental units. But there’s more! Beyond guest comfort, combi blinds continue to prove to be a smart financial and aesthetic investment due to their durability and low maintenance qualities. Compared to fabric curtains or drapes that tend to trap dust, absorb odors, and require frequent washing, combi blinds are made from durable, moisture-resistant polyester that requires only a simple wipe-down, saving significant time and expense. Aesthetically, these blinds instantly elevate a unit’s overall look, offering a sleek, minimalist look that appeals to modern travelers and makes listing photos stand out.
