Your house, your rules! After you’ve listed your place, you can use house rules to set expectations with your guests, like limits on smoking or permission to bring pets.
Hosts can choose from a set of standard house rules in these areas:
If you have special requirements that aren’t included in the set of standard house rules, you can write them under additional rules. Any additional rules that you set shouldn’t contradict your standard house rules, such as check-in time. It’s best to avoid overwhelming guests with too many rules, but you can add anything important about local customs or health and safety.
Your house rules are featured in your listing description, in booking terms while booking, in automated guest emails, and in the Arrival Guide guests receive ahead of their trip.
Anytime after booking, guests can view your house rules in the app by navigating to the Trips tab.
Airbnb Services make trips more special for guests with incredible offerings—like photography, massages, and spa treatments—that can take place in your home or at your service host's location, at a place of business, or in a public space.
As a home host, you can choose which services you’ll allow in your home. Once you decide, contact us to update your house rules so guests know which services are allowed.
Types of services include:
It’s worth familiarizing yourself with our Accessibility Policy and our pet policy. Service animals, like guide dogs, always stay for free.
There are established ground rules for guests that include following your standard house rules. If a guest breaks your rules, contact us to report any issues or request payment for damages through the Resolution Center.
