Airbnb Updates Age Minimums Policy

On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke Carl breaks down a quiet but important policy change from Airbnb that now allows hosts in the United States to set a minimum age requirement for the booking guest up to 25 years old. He walks through the details of how the rule works, including disclosure requirements, ID verification limitations, and the fact that the age restriction only applies to the person making the booking, not the rest of the group. Luke also shares his perspective as a long-time operator, explaining why he personally plans to continue allowing 18+ bookings and why many hosts may be overestimating the risk of younger guests.
