Does Airbnb Check Age? According to Airbnb's Terms and Conditions, people who are under 18 are not allowed to use the platform. This is because minors who are under 18 cannot enter into a short-term rental agreement. When you upload your ID, Airbnb is able to check your age and provide this information to the host.

This allows younger travelers to book in advance with parental permission, but avoids unaccompanied minors checking in. Hotels want evidence of parental consent for underage bookings. Requiring adult check-in provides supervision.
