Frequently asked questions
What should Airbnb house rules include?
Cover the points that affect the booking and the neighbours, such as maximum guests, visitors, quiet hours, parties, smoking, pets, parking, access, damage and checkout. Delete anything that does not apply to the property.
How long should house rules be?
Keep the public listing version short enough to read before booking. Put the fuller operational detail in the welcome book, but make sure the important rules are visible before the guest confirms the stay.
Can a house rule create a new fee or cancellation term?
A house rule on its own is not enough. Any charge, cancellation or removal should also be supported by the booking terms and the rules of the channel that took the booking.
Can I use this for Booking.com or a direct booking site?
Yes. The wording is channel neutral. Adapt the short version to each listing and keep the complete version with the booking information or welcome book.
