You can add a fee for each guest you're willing to put up beyond your normal limit. So, if the number of guests you've set under Listing basics is 4, you can charge extra for the 5th and 6th guests and so on up to your comfort level.
It's up to you, as the Host, to decide if you can accommodate any extra people. If guests show up with extra people, you have the right to turn them away.
Additionally, accommodating more guests may also require more cleaning and preparation time, which can increase the costs for the host. Therefore, charging more for additional guests is a way for Airbnb hosts to cover these additional expenses and ensure they are adequately compensated for their services.
If your guests sneak in extra people and the group now exceeds your Airbnb's maximum occupancy, you can face problems with the city. That is because cities usually have laws and regulations on the maximum number of guests allowed in a short-term rental, depending on the unit size and how many bedrooms are available.
Airbnb doesn't allow for hidden cameras or any other types of concealed recording devices. It does allow hosts to install security cameras in or around the property – as long as they're not in private areas like bedrooms or bathrooms, and as long as they are properly disclosed.
We require everyone who is part of our community to stick to these simple rules for being a great guest: Treat your Host's home like your own. Follow the Host's standard house rules.

Airbnb has announced it is scrapping its hidden 'junk fees', which will instead now be included in the cost advertised up-front. This will allow users to search according to the overall price, rather than have to wait until they've clicked on the listing to find out the total cost.
Generally speaking, the rental cost is calculated per person per night, but this isn't always the case. When searching on the Airbnb site, it's best to look closely at the details of each listing. If a listing mentions a fee for additional guests, this means the cost per night is per person.
One way to avoid paying Airbnb fees is to search for the Airbnb listing on the internet. If the unit is popular, there's a good chance that the owner of the property has it listed on a private website. Therefore, you'll be able to make a reservation directly with the host, cutting Airbnb out entirely.
