IF YOU RESIDE IN, OR THE ORGANIZATION YOU ARE ACTING FOR IS ESTABLISHED IN, THE UNITED STATES, PLEASE NOTE: THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER CONTAINED IN THE AIRBNB TERMS OF SERVICE APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THESE ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR EXPERIENCE HOSTS.
Last Updated: April 10, 2025
These Additional Terms for Experience Hosts ("Experience Host Terms") govern your use of the Airbnb Platform to publish and offer Experiences. By submitting an Experience to be listed on the Airbnb Platform, you are agreeing to these Experience Host Terms.
These Experience Host Terms supplement the Airbnb Terms of Service ("Terms") and the Airbnb Payments Terms of Service ("Payments Terms"), and, except as explicitly stated herein, the Terms and Payments Terms apply in full to all Experience Hosts, Experience Listings, and Experiences. All capitalized terms not defined in these Experience Host Terms have the meaning given to them in the Terms. Nothing in these Experience Host Terms should be interpreted to amend or contradict the Terms unless explicitly stated. If there is a conflict between the Terms and the Experience Host Terms, these Experience Host Terms control.
To list an Experience, you must create a Listing and submit the Experience to Airbnb. Experiences must at all times meet the standards and requirements for Experiences. When listing an Experience you must, where applicable, fully educate and inform Guests about (i) any risks inherent or incidental to the Experience, (ii) any requirements for participation, such as the minimum age, related skills, or level of fitness, (iii) the location(s) where the Experience may lawfully be performed, and (iv) any applicable licenses, permits, certifications, and registrations you hold to perform the Experience in those locations, and (v) anything else they may need to know to safely participate in the Experience (including dress codes, equipment, special certifications or licenses, etc.). Airbnb reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, whether a submitted Experience will be published on the Airbnb Platform.
The Airbnb Platform provides tools and services that make it easy for you to set up and manage a Listing. You are solely responsible for reviewing, approving, and ensuring the completeness and accuracy of all information and Content included in your Listing at all times, regardless of whether you make use of the Airbnb Platform tools and services, or any other third party tools or services, to assist in creating or updating your Listing.
If the Content you provide or approve for inclusion on your listing includes your or a third party’s name, image, likeness, or voice, by providing Content, you authorize Airbnb to use all such names, images, likenesses or voices to promote, market or provide information about the Airbnb Platform, in any media or on any platform, known or unknown to date and in particular on the Internet and social networks. If any third party’s name, image, likeness, or voice is contained in Content included on your Listing pages, you represent and warrant that you have obtained or will obtain a written release from all such third parties granting Airbnb the rights and permissions outlined in this paragraph before providing or approving such Content through the Airbnb Platform. You agree to provide Airbnb, upon request, a copy of any such written release. You are responsible and liable if any of your Content violates or infringes the intellectual property , privacy rights, or publicity rights of any third party.
Once your Experience is published on the Airbnb Platform, you will have the ability to add dates and times when you offer your Experience through the Airbnb Platform (an "Instance"). By making an Instance of your Experience available on the Airbnb Platform, you agree that only people who book through Airbnb can attend that Instance of the Experience. You further agree that you will not allow people to attend any Instance of your Experience available on the Airbnb Platform unless that person booked through Airbnb (or was added as an additional Guest for a spot booked through the Airbnb Platform).
You are responsible for providing all equipment, including supplies, vehicles, venues and other materials ("Equipment") necessary to host your Experience. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the Equipment used in your Experience is in good working order and conforms to all laws pertaining to safety, equipment, inspection, and operational capability. Except as otherwise required by law, you assume all risk of damage or loss to your Equipment. This Section shall not apply to Equipment ordinarily made available for your use by the guest (for example, a stove made available by a guest for a private meal) or as otherwise expressly agreed by you and the guest.
You are responsible for (i) understanding and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that may apply to your Experience, (ii) obtaining and maintaining any required licenses, permits, certifications, authorizations or registrations prior to providing your Experience; (iii) retaining, keeping up to date, and preserving the documentation needed to verify these licenses, permits, and registrations, (iv) providing evidence of such compliance to Airbnb or its designated agent upon request, or as required on the Airbnb Platform, and notifying Airbnb if you are no longer in compliance, and (v) ensuring that your Listing and/or Hosting of an Experience will not breach any agreement you may have with any third party. You can find additional information about some of the legal obligations that may apply to you on our Responsible Hosting pages. In addition, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you provide access to any Accommodation, all areas and facilities where the Accommodation is located that the Host and Guest are legally entitled to use in connection with the Accommodation (“Common Areas”). For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving an Accommodation (and related personal property) or Common Areas in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all reasonable Damage Report amounts, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect and comply with applicable laws at all times.
Subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the payments from Guest, Airbnb Payments will initiate Payouts to your selected Payout Method for Experiences, (i) 8 days after the start of any photography Experience; (ii) by the end of the business day after the start of the any other Experience; or (iii) at the time specified by the Airbnb platform.
You will not use, distribute, or modify any Airbnb trademarks, text, images, videos, documents, or other content of Airbnb except as permitted in these Experiences Host Terms. You may not issue a press release in connection with these Experiences Host Terms or otherwise utilise Airbnb's aforementioned intellectual property, without the prior written consent of Airbnb.
As an Experience Host, you may terminate this agreement for any reason and at any time by sending us an email or by removing all of your Experiences from the Airbnb Platform. Airbnb may terminate this agreement, stop providing access to the Airbnb Platform, deactivate your account, remove your Listing(s), or any combination thereof, for any reason by providing you 30 days’ notice via email or using any other contact information you have provided for your account. Airbnb may also terminate this agreement, stop providing access to the Airbnb Platform, deactivate your account, remove your Listing(s), or any combination thereof, immediately and without notice if: (i) you materially breach this agreement and/or our other Terms or Policies, (ii) you materially fail to comply with the standards and requirements for Experiences, (iii) any required licenses, permits, or registrations to perform your Experience expire were revoked and are not renewed or reinstated within 7 days of expiration or revocation, (iv) you violate applicable laws, or (v) we reasonably believe termination is advisable to protect Airbnb, its Members or third parties. If your Listing has been inactive for 120 or more days, we may remove it from Airbnb.
You must provide your Experience in person and may not allow any third party to provide the Experience on your behalf, unless authorized by Airbnb. Any member of a team, business, or organization that interacts with Guests must be added to an Experience via the method designated by the Airbnb Platform. See the Terms for information about hosting as part of a team, business or organization as well as the Co-Host Additional Terms of Service for Experiences.
You agree to obtain and maintain at your expense any insurance required by law in addition to liability insurance with limits appropriate and customary for your business and providing primary coverage for your liability and the liability of any of your employees or agents working with you or on your behalf for third party bodily injury and property damage arising from your Experience. If your Experience involves the use of a motor vehicle(s), you are responsible for obtaining and maintaining at your expense primary motor vehicle liability insurance with limits required by law and covering you and others while the motor vehicle(s) is operated in the course of carrying out the Experience. We may also, acting reasonably and with reasonable advance notice, require that you obtain other types and limits of insurance at your expense and/or name Airbnb as an additional insured under any policy you are obligated to maintain under this Section in order to publish or continue listing an Experience on the Airbnb Platform. We will provide you with reasonable notice of any changes to these insurance requirements that apply to your Experience. In such cases, you agree to obtain and maintain insurance at your expense for you, any employees or agents working with you or on your behalf, and/or your Experience with the coverages and limits reasonably determined by us for any and all activities that take place on your Experience. You agree to cooperate with Airbnb and our third party insurance partners to verify all insurance you are required to maintain, including promptly providing proof of such insurance upon request. If any insurance you are required to maintain under this Section 11 lapses or is cancelled, you agree to notify Airbnb of this immediately. In the event that Airbnb has obtained its own liability insurance that covers your Experience, insurance maintained by you will be the primary source of coverage for any third-party claims and our liability insurance will apply only as excess coverage, providing secondary coverage for claims exceeding the limits of insurance you maintain or in cases where your insurance does not respond. Our procurement of such secondary insurance coverage does not relieve you of your obligation to obtain and maintain insurance with limits required by us. You agree to reasonably cooperate with us and our third party insurance partners in the event of a claim under such secondary insurance for purposes of assisting us with our compliance with insurance obligations. This includes, but is not limited to timely and accurately providing information to both us and our third party insurance partners, assisting in the claim investigation, and complying with reasonable requests relating to the claim. You further agree to promptly notify us and the insurer on any insurance policies you maintain under this Section 11 of any incident or accident giving rise to third party bodily injury or property damage arising from your Experience.
If any provision or part of a provision in these terms is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision (or the part of it that is making it invalid, void or unenforceable) will be struck and not affect the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
Airbnb reserves the right to modify these Experience Host Terms at any time in accordance with the Terms.
Unless you reside in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, if you or we terminate these Experience Host Terms, the clauses of these Experience Host Terms that reasonably should survive such termination will remain in effect. When these Experience Host Terms are terminated, you are not entitled to a restoration of your account (if your account is canceled) or of the Member Content.
