When you send a booking request, you're sharing your enthusiasm with the Host, not your personal information. Before you book, a Host will only be shown your first name and identity verification status.
We immediately store your information in an encrypted form, secured by third-party databases, so you should only have to confirm your identity once. Airbnb only allows authorized employees to access your original documentation for troubleshooting or internal purposes.
Safety is important, but we value your privacy too. We never review, scan, or analyze your messaging communications to send you third-party marketing messages. We don't sell reviews or analyses of these communications.
Keep yourself, your payment, and your personal information safe by staying on our secure platform throughout the entire process—from communication to booking and payment. You should never be asked to wire money, provide credit card information, or otherwise pay a Host directly.
Our server logs also record the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices require to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet.
How Can I Trust My Host? As a new Airbnb user, I recommend you only stick to established hosts when booking your first place. One way to do this is to filter your search so you only see places hosted by “Superhosts”. Superhost status is given to hosts who've earned and maintained Airbnb's highest standards.
Contacting Hosts is as simple as sending them a quick message on Airbnb to let them know you're interested in their place or experience. For your safety and privacy, guests and Hosts only receive each other's phone numbers after a reservation is confirmed.
The main downside of using Airbnb for short-term rentals is that the platform charges its hosts a commission for each booking. This can eat into your profits, depending on the length and scale of your rental offerings.
Treat your Host's home like your ownCleanliness: Guests should not leave the listing in a state that requires excessive or deep cleaning (moldy dishes, soiled carpets, stains from pets, etc.).
With read receipts, Hosts and guests can tell if their messages have been read. Once you or your guests have read a message sent through the Airbnb app, a read indicator appears just below the last message in the message thread.
Read receipts enable Airbnb messaging users to check if the other person in a messaging thread has read their messages. By default, all Airbnb users are opted in to this feature.
Airbnb hosts earned more than triple all other workers, with nearly half earning more than $500 per month. The monthly average for hosts was $924, blowing away No. 2 TaskRabbit, whose users average $380. A full 10% of Airbnb hosts earn $2,000 or more per month.
