Sumario:This work aims to analyze and identify the attributes present in Airbnb Experiences. For this, it considered the seven attributes of Memorable Tourism Experiences (MTE) proposed by Kim & Ritchie (2014): hedonism, refreshment, meaningfulness, novelty, local culture, knowledge, and involvement. With a qualitative and quantitative approach, the method comprising the collection of 500 reviews from 100 experiences offered in the two biggest cities in Brazil generated a corpus of 25,742 words. The content analysis technique (Bardin, 2011) was applied to identify those attributes of the MTE based on categories defined a priori and then show the descriptive statistics of the frequencies of the identified attributes and the crossings between the variables. A new attribute was identified, named "welcoming", referring to the attitude of the "host" who offers the experience; being the most evidenced by users in 351 reviews as a positive aspect of the experience
