We require listing Hosts, new Co-Hosts, and booking guests to be verified. When you book a stay or when you become a Host, we may need to verify your personal information, such as your legal name, address, phone number, and other contact details. We may also ask for a photo of your government ID and a selfie.

The ideal profile photo is a current one that clearly identifies you. A well-lit close-up of your face that's taken by someone else works best.

Upload the right resolution: Use photos that are at least 1024px x 683px. When in doubt, a bigger photo is better. Show off unique amenities: Guests love to stay in spaces with character, so call attention to details like a fireplace, artwork, or backyard barbeque.

Superhosts can provide great conversation and local tips, but they also understand when guests want their privacy. Booking with a Superhost also doesn't mean you'll necessarily be staying with them—you may have the place to yourself. Being a Superhost simply means providing outstanding hospitality.

To help provide Hosts and guests with peace of mind, security measures like security cameras and noise monitoring devices are allowed, as long as they are clearly disclosed in the listing description and don't infringe on another person's privacy.

As a business, Airbnb strives to track down and deactivate users who violate its policies. This is achieved by seeing how hosts use the same IP address or contact details across several accounts they oversee.

The best way to do this is to show your best photos first, but also to show all the different aspects of your space early on. So instead of showing five photos of your living room first, show the best photo of every space in your house as well as the best photo of your outside area and neighborhood.
