Airbnb photos are the most important part of a listing. They show your personality, style, and experience to potential guests. The photos also help them decide whether or not they want to stay at your place. Photos should be taken in natural light so that you can see all the details of your home.
To confirm the accuracy of photos advertised to guests, hosts need to take new photos of their space as it is today that match what's listed on Airbnb. You'll need to visit your listing in-person and use the Airbnb app to take and send these new photos to the verification review team.
