Age guidelines for Airbnb services and experiences

For experiences, hosts are allowed to set age minimums, up to 21 or as required by applicable law or regulation, as long as those requirements are universally applied to all guests and not applied after booking

For services, hosts are allowed to set age minimums in their listing description, up to 18 or as required by applicable law or regulation, as long as those requirements are universally applied to all guests and not applied after booking

Here are some questions to consider when deciding whether to set an age restriction:

• Is the age restriction consistent with applicable law?
• Will younger guests be able to physically participate?
• Is there any adult content presented by you or someone else, such as swearing or sexual references?
• Will you be going to a venue that has age restrictions?
• Will you or anyone else be serving alcohol?

Update your Experience listing description

To specify if your Experience is suitable for guests under 18:

For experiences that allow guests under 18: Although only people 18 or over can make reservations, a child’s parent or legal guardian can book additional spots for children who meet your minimum age requirement. If guests book an experience on behalf of a minor, they represent that they are the legal guardian of that minor.

Services may only be booked by guests who are 18 or over.

Some hosts choose to allow children under the age of 2 to be present free of cost. That option is up to your discretion

Communicate ahead of time
