In addition to behaving in accordance with our Terms of Service and Community Standards, which apply to all community members, Airbnb Experience Hosts—including their Co-Hosts and assistants—must abide by our Additional Terms for Experience Hosts and meet the following standards and requirements.
Before any Experience is published, it is reviewed based on the below criteria and it must continue upholding these standards to remain on Airbnb. If an Experience doesn’t meet these requirements, the listing or associated account may be restricted, suspended, or removed from Airbnb.
In order to be published, an Experience submission must demonstrate expertise, insider access, and connection. Learn more about these eligibility criteria.
Experiences that include accommodations or lodging of any kind are not permitted outside of Airbnb Adventures. If you are interested in renting your space, consider becoming a Host of a place to stay
Different from typical tours and services, Airbnb Experiences are designed to be highly unique and interactive. Learn more about what doesn't qualify as an Airbnb Experience.
Certain activities aren’t allowed on the platform. This includes, but is not limited to, activities involving extreme heights or caves (ex: bungee, skydiving, heli-skiing, cave diving), certain ocean activities (ex: free diving, kiteboarding, shark diving), and certain ice or mountain activities (ex: canyoneering, ice climbing, free climbing).
Experiences that include sexual content or nudity must have a minimum age limit of 18+, must disclose the presence of nudity, and must take place in a public place (not a private residence). Hosts must also provide behavior requirements for Hosts and guests during the Experience, and specify how guests can opt out of the activity if they feel uncomfortable. Sexually explicit content is not permitted on the platform.
We only allow the use of projectile weapons when the Host has a valid license and insurance. Experiences involving firearms must have a minimum guest age limit of 18+.
We don’t allow Experiences that include direct political actions, like campaigning and fundraising, or activities that violate local laws. Political activities that are informational and educational in nature are permitted.
Certain categories of Experiences on Airbnb have additional standards:
If an Experience includes a technically specialized activity where we require proof of a license, certification, or insurance, it will not be published if any of the following is true:
The Experience itinerary must be clear, complete, and accurate. Guests should know exactly what to expect upon booking the Experience. This applies to all Experience details, including:
Each Experience must have a clear, pre-defined itinerary—we can’t accept “open-ended” plans where guests are asked to define an Experience’s itinerary, or choose activities or locations. It’s OK to include minor variations.
It’s important to note that photos must meet Airbnb’s photo quality standards.
Information in the Accessibility section of a listing must meet Airbnb’s accessibility feature description requirements.
Hosts must list their Experience as an individual, not a business. The Host’s profile photo must be a clear picture of the Host and not a company logo. The Host’s profile name must be the Host’s personal name and not a business name. Hosts should describe themselves in the “About Me” section of the Experience page.
If a friend, partner, or a team is helping you host or manage your Experience, they must be registered as a Co-Host or assistant via the Teams tool on your Host dashboard. Co-Hosts must also be assigned to the instances they are leading so that guests know their Host in advance. Learn more about Co-Hosting requirements.
Hosts and Co-Hosts must personally lead their guests throughout the entirety of the Experience.
Once a Host lists an Experience for a particular time and date on Airbnb, only Airbnb guests can attend that instance of the Experience. Hosts are not permitted to mix guests from Airbnb and other platforms on the same instance of an Experience.
Every traveler should feel welcome on Airbnb, whether they are traveling on their own or with a group.
Hosts must abide by the health and safety guidelines when hosting in-person Experiences. Learn more about these requirements.
Hosts must honor their reservations, unless the Host must cancel due to a Major Disruptive Event, or certain safety concerns or dangerous weather conditions. Learn more about our Experiences Host Cancellation policy.
Guests like to know they can expect a consistent level of quality, no matter where they book. Experiences must maintain a high overall rating and avoid too many low review ratings (1-3 stars) from guests. Hosts with too many low ratings or guest-reported issues may have their listings suspended and/or removed from Airbnb.
Airbnb’s Animal Welfare Guidelines apply to Experiences involving wild animals in the wild and in captivity, as well as domesticated animals under human care. Violations include direct interactions with wild animals (ex: riding, petting, feeding), dog sledding, the purchase or consumption of wild animal products, and certain other activities.
We do not permit the use of copyrighted work such as music, videos, photography, or literature unless the work was created or properly licensed by the Host, or is in the public domain. We also prohibit the unauthorized use of other types of intellectual property such as trademarks (ex: brand names) or individual names (ex: celebrities) that suggest an endorsement of, or affiliation with, a Host or Experience.
Hosts are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and other requirements that apply to their Experience. Hosts can find information about some of the legal obligations that may apply to their Experience, including information about food, alcohol, the use of public lands, and tour guiding, on our Responsible Hosting Pages.
Experiences must follow all requirements outlined in Airbnb's Content Policy and Nondiscrimination Policy
Experiences must take place in a single country. Experiences that include crossing a country border are not permitted.
Experience Hosts may not solicit an online or offline payment from guests in violation of Airbnb’s offsite payment policy. Read about our offsite payment policy
