The Airbnb community facilitates security and trust, and keeping your communication and transactions on Airbnb is a key factor in achieving this. We encourage all hosts and guests to complete their booking through our website before meeting in person to best ensure their safety and privacy. Check out some of the features we made with you in mind in our Trust & Safety Center, such as private messaging, Voice Connect, reviews, and verified photography.
In the rare event that a host agrees to arrange a viewing prior to you booking a reservation, please contact Airbnb Support, and we'll be happy to assist.
