Only people 18 or over can make reservations, but a child's legal guardian is able to book additional spots for guests who meet your minimum age requirement. It's up to you if you charge for kids under 2 or if you let them come for free.

First things first, guests who want to book an Airbnb rental must be at least 18 years old. In fact, according to its Terms of Service, you also need to be 18 to create an Airbnb account, whether as a guest or a host. This means that there's also the same minimum age requirement for hosting.

Underage users: People under the age of 18 aren't allowed to create an Airbnb account, host a listing or make a reservation. At a stay or on an Experience, they must be accompanied by an adult.

Age and Familial Status

Airbnb hosts may not: Impose any different terms or conditions or decline a reservation based on the guest's age or familial status, where prohibited by law.

Government-issued IDs: When creating an Airbnb account, guests are required to provide a valid government-issued ID. This helps Airbnb verify their age and identity. Confirm Name: Guests must enter their full name on their Airbnb account, which will be cross-checked with the name on their ID.

We'd love to welcome your loved ones into Airbnb. But to help maintain transparency and trust throughout our community, you can't book on their behalf unless you're staying together.

We all love to wander the world, but it's against our Terms of Service for anyone under the age of 18 to create an account to travel or host.

What we allow: Unless the reservation is a stay in New York or California (USA) or another location where applicable law prohibits it: Hosts may charge pet fees for a guest who is traveling with an emotional support animal. Hosts are allowed to decline the presence of emotional support animals from a stay or Experience.

Here are some common reasons why a Host may decline a request: Guest has no reviews or negative reviews. Hosts often rely on a guest's past reviews to gauge reliability and compatibility with their house rules. Special requests that the Host can't accommodate.

Does vrbo verify age? ›

How does Vrbo verify the age of the renter? Vrbo identifies the age of the renter by asking for your birth date. In its terms of service, Vrbo has a minimum age requirement. It states you must be at least 18 years of age and able to enter into legally binding contracts to use its booking site and book a stay.

Airbnb doesn't share your government ID with a Host when you book.

These help us connect the dots and make sure that you're really you. These forms of ID could include: A government ID. The last 4 digits of your Social Security number.

Airbnb's policy on guests leaves it up to the host to specify and encourages hosts to be clear about their limits. Hosts can state the number of people, cost per person, and the number of beds in the property. However, there is a limit of 16 people, to discourage large parties.

Every Host, co-host, and booking guest must be identity verified to use our platform.

Some hosts are partial to the three-day policy. Others favor week-long (or even month-long) stays. And still more tout the benefits of a one-night minimum. Depending on your market and hosting style, it may make sense to simply “set it and forget it.” Find something that works and run with it.

Date-of-birth (DOB) corrections to match what is listed on a government ID: DOB mistakes on accounts can happen for a few different reasons (ex: manual entry mistakes, month/day format mix-up, etc.). You can correct your DOB by contacting us.
